Introducing the DigiTech iStomp

[DIYDSP]

we're doing some stuff like this on DIYDSP, but this is excellent!

[DigiTechFX]

@DIYDSP if you have any links or info on your projects I'd love to see them.

Looks cool, but digital effects will never beat analog ones when it comes to sound

[DigiTechFX]

@AndreasSku93 you might be right but digital effects have come along way in 10 years. There will always be those who won't play anything but analog and that's totally fine. creating music is about making the sounds you want and for yourself. the tools we build are meant to help musicians do that.

[aikeeramz]

If you would buy two of these, and would want to use them for different effects, would you need two iPods? Thanks!

[DigiTechFX]

@aikeeramz nope. you only connect your ipod or iphone to change the pedal. you could program as many pedals as you own with just one ipod, iphone, or ipad.

[MannyBlue65]

So this iStomp pedal cost $149 and I can download and I turn it into any effects pedal that I want and only use one effect at a time. I can turn it to a distortion pedal that cost $49 to a reverb pedal that cost $99, a phaser pedal that cost $69, or to an overdrive pedal that cost $49. I don't get it. Why not just by the effect pedal you want or better yet, why not just buy an RP155 for $99 and have them all.

[DigiTechFX]

@MannyBlue65 Some people want pedals some people want multi-effects. we have the solution for both types of players.

[Tmidiman]

Nice! Very nice!

[vendettav15]

Look neat! I wonder how much this thing is gonna cost?

[nsndrtKatzjb]

I hope one day Digitech will make some cool acoustic guitar products, Maybe Acoustic guitar/Vocal processor. This new gadget seems a bit trendy.

[SlaughteredDecay]

Do you need the Iphone/Ipad/Ipod plugged in all the time or just for loading presets?

Regards,

Erik

[DigiTechFX]

@SlaughteredDecay You only connect your iOS device when you want to completely change the pedal. All the processing is in the actual pedal and none in the phone.

[AlexNC]

Please make an Android version. I would buy one of these today if you did.

[Insinfier]

Neat, but there are other devices that can do this without having to use my cell phone...and I don't have to buy all the individual effects. They come with the device I already purchased.

[loganarchermusic]

Lol so gonna jailbreak this.

[TheInjonction]

Why don't you let us hear the actual sound instead of a generic background music?

Cool concept, but the video is frustrating.

[DigiTechFX]

@TheInjonction that video will be posted soon. This was just an announcement video.

[bryanbelial]

Holy Shit!

[Darkwarrior006]

Why cant it support both android and iOS out of the box? Not including over half of the mobile landscape is a mistake.

[DigiTechFX]

@Darkwarrior006 iOS devices have one type of connector 30-pin and one central market, the app store. Android devices have many different connectors, across multiple types of devices without a centralized market. It makes developing hardware for android very difficult. We're not neglecting the android customers. We are actively working on a solution but there is no reason to not release a product when 200 million compatible devices are already in the market place.

[Wenceslao316]

@DigiTechFX Can you use it without an iPhone. for example just with your macbook?

[superchillin85]

First! haha.. Cool concept..

[Gerrardeos]

Awesome, how much will it retail for?

[DigiTechFX]

@Gerrardeos $149.95

[Gerrardeos]

@DigiTechFX Its Retailing for £159 in the UK... Doesn't sound right?

[AntharesRock]

wow. i want one of this...

[Makiezzz]

Awesome Concept just loved it .............

[TheBlackxism]

[StatusMusicDesign]

Old....curmudgeony...mind...wa­nts to resist change....but admittedly, this is pretty honkin' cool.
