Description
From Our Catalog
The DigiTech Expression Factory was inspired by 7 of the world's classic expression pedals. Introducing Expression Factory, the pedal that lets you metatarsally modulate a whole pedal board of classic expression pedals. From Wah and Whammy to rare, sought-after pedals like the A/DA Flanger and DigiTech's own highly collectable Space Station Synth Swell.
Thanks to 2-in-1 concentric controls, you can tweak 3 key controls of each expression effect and season them with your choice of seven classic distortion stompbox models piped in from the DigiTech DF-7 Distortion Factory.
Add Flexible Output Mode, a cast metal treadle and a sleek carbon fiber finish and you have an industrial-strength tool for anyone who likes to tread a treadle.
EX7 Models are Based On:
Dunlop Cry Baby Wah*
Vox Clyde McCoy Wah*
DigiTech XP300 Space Station
DigiTech Whammy
Unicord Univibe*
Leslie 145 Rotary Speaker*
ADA Flanger*
* PLUS: 7 classic distortion models!
* And - it's a volume pedal
Model Details:
Based on Dunlop Cry Baby*
One of the most popular iterations of the Wah pedal with a slightly thicker tone than a Vox(R), reminiscent of late '60s and early '70's Guitar Gods.
Frequency Range, Q (Shape), Volume controls; Xpression pedal changes Wah effect.
Based on Vox Clyde McCoy Wah*
The 1966 original. Though it was designed for the guitar, it was initially aimed at trumpet players, which is why horn player Clyde McCoy's name graces the pedal today.
Frequency Range, Q (Shape), Volume controls; Xpression pedal changes Wah effect.
Based on DigiTech XP300 Space Station/Synth Swell
The most popular tone from a very rare pedal, Synth Swell packs an entire outer-space string orchestra into your guitar, let you create other-worldly effects and flourishes via the expression pedal.
Pitch Shft, Chorus/Pitch Balance, Swell Attack Time controls; Xpression pedal changes input level (volume swell).
Based on DigiTech Whammy
The one and only, to use an expression. Smooth pitch bends, rich detuning, deadly dive bombs and fast-tracking harmony shifts, just like the original.
Whammy Shift, Tone, Wet/Dry controls; Xpression pedal changes pitch shift.
Based on Unicord Univibe*
The chorus standard since the late 60's for adding lush depth and dimension. True to the original, our model also offers both vibrato and chorus.
Chorus/Vibrato, Intensity, Volume controls; Xpression pedal changes modulation speed.
Based on Leslie* 145 Rotary Speaker
Add the meticulously modeled sound of the Leslie 145 rotary speaker. This is as real as it gets without lugging a 160-pound cabinet around with you.
Drive, Min Sweep, Max Sweep controls; Xpression pedal changes rotary speed.
Based on the ADA Flanger*
The Holy Grail of all flangers with a dramatic jet-engine fly-by sweep. Rarer than a 7-string Strat - and its optional foot controller is even harder to find!
Range, Speed, Enhance controls; Xpression pedal changes sweep.
Includes Built-in DF-7 Distortion Factory Pedal!
Distortion model based on Ibanez TS-9* / cabinet model based on Fender* 1965 Deluxe Reverb* 1x12
Distortion model based on DOD Overdrive/Preamp 250 / cabinet model based on Marshall* 4x12

DigiTech EX7 Expression Factory Pedal Reviews
7 out of 10
"It's got it's ups and downs."
Feature:
I wish this was DC so I could keep everything running off the one power supply. The Distortion setting need to be addressable w/o the toe fx. There's a whole DX7 in there by golly but your stuck with a "mix" of FX combos. That is not cool. From what I've read you can use the useless Whammy (no dive bombs on this one) setting, go dry on the mix then get into the DX7 part and use it thus giving you access to that gem.
Quality:
Looks good, ain't gonna break but you'll likely break your heel bone trying to kick in the distortion settings which use the heel button. Every been to a fair and try to ring the bell with the sledge hammer? This is pretty close. The upside is you'll never accidentally kick in the distortions.
Value:
At the "B" stock price that is 140 everywhere I look it's worth it for the few pedals you get out of it plus the options for outputs.
Desirability:
Looks good and has a few pedals i wanted. I figure I ended up with a few highly controllable pedals in one space such as the uni-vibe, 2 wahs, leslie and a flanger.
Sound:
This has a good clean sound on the toe tapping side. Space Station would be more use if it was an open setting to get to distortions only. Not a whole lot you can do with it BUT if you get creative and use some more pedals after the fact you could get very weird.
Ease of Use:
Once you figure it out it's pretty standard. Now rocket science mapping involved.
Support:
Can't say as I never dealt with them.
Overall:
Considering I can't run my Wah through the uni-vibe or other combos like that it has it's short comings. Imagine if the DX7 heel part was a mapper to some of the toe tappers. Then you'd have a heck of a multi-fx processor. Seeing as I just got it I can't knock it too bad nor rave about it. It is going to offer me the ability split my signal, tweak my wahs and now I got a uni-vibe which cost a lot by itself. That was the deal breaker for me. That and the 140 dollar price tag. But you need the 40 dollar accessory pedal to move through your presets or forever be bending over.

"This thing is way cool and fun but I would not want to rely on it."
Feature:
Tons of features but would take a while to learn and set up for gigging.
Quality:
Seems a bit flimsey. Expression peddal cheap feeling.
Value:
A lot of effects for the money
Desirability:
I think I will pass on this one
Sound:
The wahs are very realistic however the expression peddal has very little travel and requires a light touch. I'm use to a Steve Via bad horsey and it is much easier to control. I did not like the flanger either. Very little control over how it sounded. To be fair, I only messed with it for 30 min. or so. Love my Distortion Factory and was a little disapointed with this one
Support:
I hope its good because its a digitech and we all know they break. Not a Boss!
Overall:
Its ok but it could have been great.
