guys if you have experiences in using the digitech peds especially the x series, please post your reviews here! thanks!
btw, let me start with my review on the digitech SCREAMIN BLUES overdrive/distortion pedal.
pedal construction:patterned after a BOSS, so its very sturdy. the push-button thingies on the left and right side of the battery lid/stomping surface takes a while to get used to especially if you're a boss user. it's actually easy to pop. the battery is held snugly so its very secure as well. the plastic knobs look a bit flimsy. however, since it is depressed with the construction, you wont be able to accidentally step on them. the blue paint looks thick and hard to scratch (although ayoko mag-experiment, hehehe) and the pedal name is cheesy, to say the least.
tone:very transparent, not as midrangey. you wont get metal tone, of course, but you could be able to dial in something close to iommi if you max out the gain and boost the high freq option. but then again, i think the pedal is perfect and meant for blues/classic rock tunes. dial in the gain to about 3:00 and boost the bass a bit and leave the high freq at 12:00, you'd be able to nail ebe's rhythm work with sugarfree. (u wud have to be using humbuckers, though. if not dial in more bass) if gain's around 9-12:00, you get a fine amount of grit.
the high and bass freq dials made this pedal stand out among other overdrive/distortions i have ever used. it gives you great control over your tone. because of that, there's probably a multitude of tones to choose from depending on the combo of your guitar, this pedal, and an amp. not only that, it cleans up well with the guitar's volume knob. oh, and did i mention that it responds very well to picking intensity, just like your favorite saturated tube amp?
i've never really used the mixer out function so i can't give any reviews for that.
at P3500 brand new, it's a keeper for me.
