DigiTech EX-7 Expression Factory Inital Impressions

I wonder if Spudman ever got his figured out .. or if it was a bum pedal..?

Simple fix. Now I just play on 10 and don't notice any signal loss.

It's minor but I can tell some frequencies diminish when the pedal is in line. I might have to put it in a loop so that I can totally bypass it. The loss irritates me and I'm so anal I'll end up throwing shots of Jagermeister at the crowd...still in the glass.

I am waking this thread up again. That new kind of wah thread got me wanting a wah again. As some know, it will be my birthday again in a few weeks, and I will have some spending money. I don't have a wah anymore, and am thinking of finding a used one of these to add to the board. Pretty much for the wahs available and the vibe.

The other options are a CV tele, or a MIM strat I can mod into a superstrat or that is already there. Depends on what funds will be available. But a used EX-7 seems almost a no brainer.

The Crybaby Wah sounds quite a bit better than the EX-7 in my opinion, but the EX-7 has so many cool and useful sounds in it, that it is in fact much better overall value (used or not).

Did that help?

[sunvalleylaw]

Sure! Based on some of the opinions stated in this thread, I think I can find some wah sounds I like, plus a lot more.

Robert and Spud both bring up excellent points. I still use mine. Some people don't like the sweep of the pedal, but that's a personal taste kind of thing. I don't use a wah that much, so I'm usually using it for one of its many other functions. As I posted elsewhere, I started using mine for some octave effects on the Whammy model.

Well what did you get for the Bday SVL?

I did a clean up around here about 6 month ago. I just had way to many pedals sitting on the floor which I liked looking at, but sure took up alot of room.

I thought about which I really use most the time. Everything is in boxes now except the EX-7(still liking it), Boss Looper(still using it) and a delay(never be without it).. that basicly does everything I use in the last years. The amps already got reverb..what else could a person need. I still think the EX-7 is one of the best and strongest box I ever bought. all in a wah pedal. Space stations are out of this world..

Hey Justa, thanks for the input. I didn't buy anything yet. I have to put some money into cycling, so B-day money may go there, but this is still on my list. I did receive from my family a Kodak PlaySport digital vid cam that will be really fun for videoing adventures, but that is for a different thread.
