DIGITECH EX-7
Expression Factory
PERHAPS NO EFFECT in history
has achieved such a post-flop cult status like the DigiTech XP300
Space Station. It’s warranted though, because the unit makes
sounds that newer pedals still haven’t been able to recreate.
The public has clamored for a reissue, and the prices reflect
this. DigiTech has been mum about a reissue of the unit, but
the company covertly equipped a newer pedal—the EX-7
Epression Factory—with a number of these hallowed patches,
plus many others. One of the most egregious gripes about
the Space Station (other than its outlandish price, though it’s
getting better) is its horrific bypass tone. Thankfully, the bypass
on the Expression Factory is just fine, and doesn’t obliterate
one’s tone as the original does. So yes, this is essentially all the
good bits of a real Space Station without the gripes of price or
spatial consumption. These aren’t the cheapest pedals (around
$130) but it’s half the size and less than half the price for the
greatest hits version of the almighty Space Station.
