"Great pedal but it has flaws."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Once i get to know it and tweak out my kind of sound a bit better i will more than likely use this pedal as much as i use my Boss MT-2 Metal Zone. Both have really unique sounds for me, this pedal can bring out any pinch harmonic to the max, i played pretty much from an open string to the 21 fret on my guitar and squealed every note flawlessly.
Sound
It has some pretty intense sounds, type 7 is really cool, and the sitar simulator im definately going to take advantage of but im really disappointed in the phaser/ramp distortion tone and the "auto wah/distortion" sound, both distortions are really hard sounding and some types on the pedal are much louder than others but it is still a cool pedal
Features
7 different sounds, would be better if you didnt have to manually turn and tweak knobs everytime you wanted a different type. Came with a pedal bag (doesnt matter to me i strapped it to the pedal board already) a dan donegan pick which looks like a dunlop tortex pick just with the disturbed logo. Power supply always nice when a company throws that it.
Ease of Use
Took some tweaking to get the tones i wanted, i wasnt going to just use the "dan donegan" sounds cause thats cheating, Changing between settings is kind of a pain in the @$$ but pretty much plug in and play its really simple. Just like any other stomp box.
Quality
Looks solid as a rock, well built, heavy, sturdy, gonna be taking a beating from my foot so we'll see, I do like having this pedal in my chain it adds a nice crunch tone to what i have.
Value
A bit pricey, but i mean when you think of it, its a stompbox with 7 different type settings and its sturdy as hell so i guess what i paid isnt too bad, the whammy pedal costs like twice as much as this pedal and i use it half as much, i paid 240 for this pedal.
Manufacturer Support
Havent used them yet but i trust digitech enoguh to know that this pedal more than likely isnt going to break and if it does they'll be more than supportive
The Wow Factor
Its a kick @$$ looking pedal, i love the finish on it and i think a lot of other people will be jealouse as well. The looks dont hinder the overall use of it and doesnt take away from its ease of use. I know the whammy pedal has a tiny little knob to turn it on and off that i think is goofy and hinders how easy i can turn on and off that pedal.

"THE WEOPON RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
The sound rules!!!! I went into my local music store looking for a better distortion pedal than my Death Metal and I tried out The Weopon because I thought it looked cool but it sounded incredible! After 5 minutes of riding the lightning my first words were "Sounds like Disturbed." then I realized it was a Dan Donegan series pedal. I actually don't plan on replacing my Death Metal with this one I think I'll play with a different pedal for like every other song.
Features
I don't even know what the control 1 and control 2 are for yet cuz the pedal came at the rise & intoxication setting wich sounds pretty cool so I left it and didn't change anything.
Ease of Use
Usually I like to have a billion pedals to have every possible sound but with The Weopon you just need a good amp, a good guitar, the pedal, and lots of volume!
Quality
Tough as nails, won't ever break
Value
Worth tons more than what it costs!
Manufacturer Support
DigiTech is a great company!
The Wow Factor
I like how it's all metallic.

"Awesome Tones"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I will most likly use this product 75% of the time I play. Impossible to ware out. I like the sound and the feeling of playing better with this modulator.
Sound
This pedal sounds great!! The effects sound just like the real thing. Quality wise its unbeatable, Its very compatible with my music style. All of the effects are modeled near perfect. I am currently using a kustom halfstack the drive through this amp is wild. The only thing I would want changed with the pedal is more tones from other popular songs like "Stricken". The "Voices" effect is awesome. The fading in and clean dropout just makes this pedal more fun to play on.
Features
The case is nice for someone who dosent use pedalboards. The smiley pick is sweet. Its also nice to have an extra 9v adapter laying around. The booklet that comes with it is cool because it shows you the presets to use for a spacific tone.
Ease of Use
Very easy to use just dial in the tone/sound you want and play. The manual is flawless and in my oppinion you dont even need it its so easy to use.
Quality
Very well built (its definatly built to last). The finish is awesome The brushed metal look is sweet.
Value
A bit pricy but the sounds worth the money if you love to dan donegan tone.
Manufacturer Support
Digi-tech is a very reliable company hands down.
The Wow Factor
The finish to me looks very agressive. The size is perfect it doesnt hog space on my pedalboard and packs a punch.

"Diversify Pedal"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
High Quality
Sound
The Pitch Shifter,Sitar Synthesizer,Whammy,Phraser Is Good...but the wah effect is not too clear..also the distortion sound is a bit "quite"..not blend well with my yngwie malmsteen preamp overdrive..but the clean phaser is good...when you press and hold,the distortion will fill in gradually and left the distortion at last...
Features
includes adapter,pick and gig bag.... just try the phaser ramp into distortion...it's cool~
Quality
Good~~but I am not satisfy with the distortion
Value
Worth ...better than buy a lot of pedal

"Be careful, this weapon is lethal!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Pretty damn cool pedal if you ask me. Whether you are after that "disturbed" sound or not, this would be an awesome addition to any pedal collection.
Sound
It's hard to describe because there are so many cool ones. You just need to hear it for yourself.
Features
It's SO cool how Digitech can include SO many different sounds inside such a small pedal.
Ease of Use
As with most pedals, you just connect it to something and your ready.
Quality
It seems like it's made to last
Value
I think that it's kinda pricy, then again, I really want it. So I guess Digitech has me in a vulnerable position. It's like dangling cheese in front of a mouse.
The Wow Factor
Its looks intrigued me, its sounds impressed me. I have to have it, I have to have it. It even has a cool name.

"Finally a boss tone replacement!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Love it. Simple the best for a LP guitar. Get a Jimmy digitech instead though if you own a strat.
Sound
Exactly what I was looking for. I like one trick ponies like the old bosstone that plugged into the guitar which was all you needed. This has two tricks that work for me setting modes 1 and 7. Excellent even with and especially with a solid state amp.
Features
I may have two buy two as like I said settings 1 and 7 are like nothing else out there!
Quality
Having owned other digitech these pots won't make noise ever. Built like a brick potty house.
Value
Not bad given the sound is better than a tube preamp in my opinion.
Manufacturer Support
Cause I haver never ever needed them. The absolute best kind of support in the world! Products built that completely obsolete any need for support, thats digitech!
The Wow Factor
Appeals to me as that Crate Block amp style hand done labeling and that laquer clear finish is awesome.

"beautifull metal sound even if you arent a disturbed fan"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
last time, only complaint is the manual switching to get different sounds... well, it is a stompbox, so what can you expect? that and the auto wah feature doesnt come up well on my practice amp, hope it does on my half cabniet
Sound
the sound is amazing... i just got it, and i used my practice amp, which is a tiny old piece of crap... but it sounds AMAZING.. cant wait till i use my marshall 2x12. well, the only complaint is i cant hear the auto wah feature very much, maybe its the amp.
Features
wow, i am a disturbed fan, an when i set it right, this sounded almost EXACTLY like the songs... its very good
Quality
very very strong, made of a heavy and powerfull metal that i can trow around, and it will still work fine... not that i will, but it feels good right out of the box
Value
for the proce, which may seem high to some for a single stompbox, this has so many different effects.. again only complaint is that i have to manually switch it each time.
Manufacturer Support
i give this a perfect rating, because i have yet to call for support, which means that this is an exellent product
