Digitech CF-7
Digitech CF-7
Inspired by 7 of the world's most sought after chorus pedals.

The CF-7 features models based on both classic and the latest modern chorus pedals including the DigiTech® Multi Chorus™*,Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus*, TC Electronic® Stereo Chorus/Flanger*, Fulltone® Choralflange™*, Boss® CH-1 Super Chorus™*, EH® Small Clone® and Boss® CE-5 Chorus Ensemble™.

Equipped with three two-in-one concentric controls, the CF-7 adjusts the standard Speed, Depth, and Level functions found on most chorus pedals, plus three extra controls for each chorus effect. Two outputs offer either mono or stereo operation.

In addition, the CF-7 also features DigiTech's exclusive Flexible Output Mode™ allowing you to plug it directly into amplifiers or into a mixer with their acclaimed CIT™ cabinet modeling.

And the cast metal chassis and a sleek carbon fiber finish make it an industrial-strength creative tool. If you are looking for an unprecedented collection of the world’s finest chorus effects in a single stompbox, check out the new X-Series™ CF-7 today.

• Seven classic chorus effects models
• Level, Speed, Depth plus three extra controls for each effect
• Flexible Output Mode™—configure outputs for amp or mixer
• Cast-metal chassis
• Unique carbon-fiber finish
• Non-skid rubber base

Maybe you’ll only use one model, on one setting; or maybe you’ll explore all seven classic models to their full capacity, and use both the CF-7’s outputs to connect to two amps for the full stereo experience. Either way, you’ll have a full arsenal of rich chorus sounds!

You will definitely appreciate the sonic richness of each model, thanks to DigiTech's® custom AudioDNA2® DSP chip. The CF-7’s models were meticulously designed to capture every nuance each pedal has to offer.

So plug in a CF-7 and get ready for takeoff. You’ve got a whole world of choruses and mod effects to discover.

MODEL 1. DigiTech® Multi Chorus®
This setting models DigiTech®’s Multi Chorus® pedal. The first multi-voice (16 voices) chorus pedal ever!
LEVEL – Controls the effect output level. Turn clockwise for more effect, or counter-clockwise for less effect.
CNTRL 1 (EQ) – Adjusts the tone of the effect. Turn clockwise for brighter tone, or counter-clockwise for warmer tone.
SPEED – Controls the rate that the chorus modulates. Turn clockwise to increase the rate. Turn counter-clockwise to decrease the rate.
CNTRL 2 (Pre Delay) – Determines the amount of offset between the two signals that create the chorus effect. Turn clockwise for a looser chorus effect, or counter-clockwise for a tighter, more flanger-like effect.
DEPTH – Controls the depth of the chorus effect. Turn this knob clockwise to increase the depth for a thick chorus sound, or counter-clockwise to decrease the depth for a shallow, light chorus sound.
CNTRL 3 (Voice) – Controls the number of chorus voices used. At the knob’s minimum position, only a single chorus voice is present. Turn clockwise for more voices. At the maximum position, 16 voices are heard interacting with one another (when using stereo mode).

Model 2. Voodoo LabTM Analog Chorus
The Voodoo LabTM Analog Chorus pedal has a distinctively organic tone that faithfully clones the 1976 Boss® CE-1.
LEVEL – Controls the effect output level. Turn clockwise for more effect, or counter-clockwise for less effect.
CNTRL 1 (EQ) – Adjusts the tone of the effect. Turn clockwise for brighter tone, or counter-clockwise for warmer tone.
SPEED – Controls the rate that the chorus modulates. Turn clockwise to increase the rate. Turn counter-clockwise to decrease the rate.
CNTRL 2 (Pre Delay) – Determines the amount of offset between the two signals that create the chorus effect. Turn clockwise for a looser chorus effect, or counter-clockwise for a tighter, more flanger-like effect.
DEPTH (Intensity) – Controls the intensity of the chorus effect. Turn the knob counter-clockwise for a subtle effect. Turn the knob clockwise for a richer, deeper, processed sound.
CNTRL 3 (Stereo Width) – Controls the perceived width of the stereo effect. Turn clockwise for a wider sound, or counter-clockwise for a narrower sound. This control only affects the sound when both outputs are used.

Model 3. TC Electronic® Stereo Chorus Flanger
The classic TC Electronic® Stereo Chorus Flanger is the choice of many pros and still remains known as a state-of-the-art unit with incredible dynamic range.
LEVEL (Intensity) – Controls the effect output level. Turn clockwise for more effect, or counter-clockwise for less effect.
CNTRL 1 (EQ) – Adjusts the tone of the effect. Turn clockwise for brighter tone, or counter-clockwise for softer, more diffuse tone.
SPEED – Controls the rate that the chorus modulates. Turn clockwise to increase the rate. Turn counter-clockwise to decrease the rate.
CNTRL 2 (Pre Delay) – Determines the amount of offset between the two signals that create the modulation effect. Turn clockwise for a looser chorus effect, or counter-clockwise for a tighter, more flanger-like effect.
DEPTH (Width) – Controls the intensity of the chorus effect. Turn the knob counter-clockwise for a subtle effect. Turn the knob clockwise for a richer, deeper, processed sound.
CNTRL 3 (PM/CH/FL) – Selects Pitch Modulation (turn all the way counter-clockwise), Chorus (12 o’clock position), or Flanger (turn all the way clockwise) Mode.

Model 4. Fulltone® ChoralflangeTM
This setting models the Fulltone® ChoralflangeTM, known as the ultimate analog modulation pedal: versatile, transparent, and flexible.
LEVEL (Mix) – Controls the balance of processed and dry signal. Turn clockwise for more processed signal, or counter-clockwise for more dry signal.
CNTRL 1 (Chorus/Flange) – Selects Chorus (turn all the way counter-clockwise) or Flanger (turn all the way clockwise) Mode.
SPEED (Rate) – Controls the rate that the chorus modulates. Turn clockwise to increase the rate. Turn counter-clockwise to decrease the rate.
CNTRL 2 (Delay) – Determines the amount of offset between the two signals that create the modulation effect. Turn clockwise for a looser chorus effect, or counter-clockwise for a tighter, more flanger-like effect.
DEPTH – Controls the intensity of the chorus effect. Turn the knob counter-clockwise for a subtle effect. Turn the knob clockwise for a richer, deeper, processed sound.
CNTRL 3 (Narrow/Wide) – Select Narrow (turn all the way counter-clockwise) to apply the effect to one octave of frequency range, or Wide (turn all the way clockwise) to apply the effect to two octaves of frequency range.

Model 5. Boss® CH-1 Super ChorusTM
The Boss® CH-1 Super Chorus™ pedal is popular for its offering of frequency range with a versatile tonal control.
LEVEL – Controls the effect output level. Turn clockwise for more effect, or counter-clockwise for less effect.

DEPTH – Controls the intensity of the chorus effect. Turn the knob counter-clockwise for a subtle effect. Turn the knob clockwise for a richer, deeper, processed sound.
CNTRL 3 (Stereo Width) – Controls the perceived width of the stereo effect. Turn clockwise for a wider sound, or counter-clockwise for a narrower sound. This control only affects the sound when both outputs are used.
