DigiTech DF-7 Distortion Factory mode 4(proco rat) vs Proco Rat(Genuine)

[StringSlinger26]

This pedal is not the best drive unit on the market. But it certainly is the most versitile. The trick is you have to spend time to properly EQ each pedal model. The right EQ on one setting usualy sounds horrible on another. Over all worth the money if you can find a good deal on it. Got mine used for $45!!

[PlainLazy182]

cool 2 pedals

[juanolazabal]

@ciadude2 i have one too but i preffer use in the mixer output. the sound is much more warm

[watchtail]

that song sounds a lot like the opening credits song to tenacious d and the pick of destiny

[19ZoSo93]

Well I would say the DF-7 sounds like the Rat, and as a bonus, it has more EQ options.

[chrisdunne]

your song?sure its not frances farmer will have her revenge on seattle by nirvana?sounds exatly the same even the tone(which is very good)

[catvsate]

@chrisdunne hi~guy, i love nirvana too.

i just used 3 code and rhythem, it not copy any song

cause it was test riff for these pedals. no more means.

[lucasjsev]

rat is definitely more creamy and toneful. sustain is great too

[frankz00]

Digitech's distortion emulations are great! I have the RP250 and the RP155 and the sounds are good enough to replace the originals. I use the Rat and the TS-808 emulations on both of them. I turn off cabinet emulation though...

[robjavi90]

rat is better than df-7

but rat + equalizer.... the best combination

[finalstrike8]

I love this Pedal too

[Axeman2006]

Thanks for this comparison!

DF-7 is boosting upper mids a db

makes it sound louder,clearer,etc

VERY similar tone though eh!!! lol

Nice one digitech, I own the DF-7

Of course you can also tweak the shit out of the DF-7, much more than any of the original pedals, lower noise too

[j9o9h9n9n9y9]

I actually prefer the DF-7; the midrange sounds richer to me.

[strabbs1]

wow thats close i reckon the digitech has thicker mids but its a real descent attampt

[minibikedude04]

both these pedals suck assssss.

an seymour duncan twin tube will rape both these pedals

[frankz00]

@minibikedude04 I use the Twin Tube as well but you're talking about a different type of pedal. Twin Tube ads alot of warmth but is more of an overdrive than a distortion...

[XlonewolfXcubX]

i just bought the df-7 and im a metal head and i love this pedal so much its amazing

[thebearer]

the digitech just sounds of a higher pitch

[erressal]

Thank you ! Great video! =) I also have a distortion factory and it's worth having if you don't play hard rock or anything heavy!

The ts-9 is a great simulation!

[DoubleHeliX1337]

what song are you playing?

[catvsate]

it is my song^^

[ych3620]

this song like kickapoo~~

[ultrakool]

@DoubleHeliX1337 sounds like temporarily expendable by urban dance squad

[DoubleHeliX1337]

idk they sound PRETTY similar soI think the DF-7 should beboguht cuzyou can get more tones that are almsot the same as the original pedals it ripped off

[sunp]

the rat sounds tighter (if thats the word for it). very close tho! im impressed, digitech.

[DoubleHeliX1337]

actually the Digitech sounds tighter :P

[catvsate]

i think it is less sustain than original pedals.

[juanolazabal]

hey, nice post. i have the same DF7 I Iike it sound. it has more control of sound. normaly i use it in the drive channel of my amplifier for a more crunch tone.

Good luck
