DigiTech

DigiTech is a brand of guitar effects pedals and related audio equipment. Founded in 1984, the company has produced a wide range of products, from basic stompboxes to advanced multi-effects units and signal processors. DigiTech is known for its innovative features and often incorporates digital signal processing technology into its designs.

Over the years, DigiTech has released many popular and influential pedals. These include the Whammy pitch shifter, the PDS 1000 and 2000 series delays, and the GSP series of multi-effects processors. The Whammy pedal, in particular, has become a staple for many guitarists across various genres, recognized for its distinctive pitch-bending effects.

The company has been part of various larger music equipment corporations throughout its history, most notably being a subsidiary of Harman International Industries, which itself is owned by Samsung. This has allowed DigiTech to leverage advanced technology and manufacturing capabilities. While the market for guitar effects is competitive, DigiTech has maintained a presence by continually updating its product lines and introducing new technologies, often focusing on user-friendly interfaces and comprehensive feature sets within its digital offerings. Their products are generally aimed at guitarists and bassists seeking to expand their sonic palette.
