Congratulations and special thanks from 

DigiTech®

for choosing the 

DF-7™

Distortion Factory™

Pedal.

Distortion pedals are as important to the world of guitar playing as guitar playing

is to modern music, and the DigiTech DF-7 Distortion Factory is the most

advanced distortion pedal ever created.We’ve modeled seven of the most

popular distortion stompboxes of all time and packed them into one pedal

equipped with our new, powerful Flexible Output Mode™ with selectable Stereo

Spectrum Technology.
The DF-7 is designed to give you the tonal nuances, drive, and vibe reminiscent of

the Ibanez® TS-9*, DOD® Overdrive/Preamp 250, Boss® DS-1*, Pro Co Rat™*,

Boss® MT-2 Metal Zone®*, DigiTech® Metal Master™, and Electro-Harmonix®

Big Muff π®*.The DF-7 also features Flexible Output Mode™ with a choice of

six stereo spectrums and the acclaimed CIT™ cabinet modeling technology.This

gives you the flexibility to run either directly into a mixer or recording device

utilizing the DF-7’s cabinet models or amps in either stereo with 6 spectrum

choices or mono.
