SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – HARMAN’s DigiTech today announced the
introduction of its Dirty Robot e-pedal for its iStomp programmable pedal. The
Dirty Robot transforms the sound of a guitar with sub-harmonic and filter
synthesis, providing low-end sub-octave and synth-like filter sweeps.
“The Dirty Robot gives guitarists the ability to modify their sound with a wide
range of filter synthesis effects that go far beyond the capability of a
standard ‘auto wah’-type envelope filter,” said Scott Klimt, marketing manager
for DigiTech. “It also enables the player to mix the effected signal with the
dry signal to get sounds that range from subtle to outrageously funky.”
The DigiTech Dirty Robot’s Mix, Filter, Envelope and Trigger controls offer
enable total control of the pedal’s guitar synth capabilities. The Mix knob
blends dry signal with the synth effect. Filter controls the amount of waveform
synthesis that is added to the sub-octave signal. The Envelope knob selects the
type of filter sweep with both Rise and Fall options and variable time ranges,
to create long filter sweeps, classic auto wah sounds, “reverse wah” and more.
Trigger controls the envelope sweep sensitivity, for touch-sensitive control of
how the effect triggers – the harder the player picks, the more the filter
kicks in.
The
DigiTech iStomp is a new concept in guitar stompboxes that allows musicians to
turn the iStomp into any pedal in the Stomp Shop online pedal store. Offering
almost limitless sonic possibilities, the iStomp connects to an Apple iOS
device where musicians can use the Stomp Shop app to load it with the e-pedal
of their choice. The Stomp Shop is a free app and comes with ten of the most
popular requested pedals. It gives
access to more than 40 additional pedals that musicians can browse, try out and
purchase, with more pedals added every month.
