Congratulations and special thanks from DigiTech® for choosing the  
Expression FactoryTM Pedal.  
When you want to express emotion with your guitar, two hands are great,  
but two hands and a foot are better.Years ago, pioneering musicians and  
engineers developed technology that let your foot alter and enhance your  
guitar’s tone while your fingers are busy playing the notes.These pedals  
were so revolutionary, they’ve endured and evolved through the years: the  
wah pedal, the flanger, the rotary speaker, the pitch bender, the chorus,  
and the volume swell.These pedals placed guitarists’ feet on the path to  
the future of modern music.  
The DigiTech Expression Factory captures seven of the most versatile and  
dramatic pedal-controlled effects in guitar equipment history: theVox®  
Clyde McCoyWahTM* and the Dunlop® Cry BabyTMWah*, the Leslie®  
147 Rotary Speaker*, the A/DATM Flanger*, the Unicord Uni-VibeTM*,  
the DigiTech® XP300 Space StationTM Synth SwellTM*, and the DigiTech  
Whammy®*.The Expression Factory lets you walk in the shoes of many  
mighty guitarists before you, who discovered that with one foot on the  
stage or the studio floor, and the other foot on an expression pedal, the  
journey through exciting and dramatic guitar tones will never end.

MODEL DESCRIPTIONS  
MODEL 1. Dunlop® Cry BabyTM  
As theWah pedal increased in popularity, slight changes were made to the  
original design. One of the most popular versions of theWah pedal was  
(and is) the Dunlop® Cry BabyTM. By using an Italian-made Fasel inductor  
(and making some other design alterations), the Dunlop Cry Baby creates  
a slightly thicker tone that is reminiscent of guitar legends of the late 60s  
and early 70s.  
Control 1 (tip): Frequency Range – Changes the high and low fre-  
quency centers of theWah sweep.  
Control 2 (tip): Q (Shape) – Changes the bandwidth of the frequency  
centers. Lower settings produce a mildWah effect, higher settings pro-  
duce extremeWah filtering.  
Control 3 (tip): Volume – Boosts or cuts the output level when the  
Wah is enabled.  
Expression Pedal – Controls theWah effect.

MODEL 2.Vox® Clyde McCoyTM Wah  
In 1966, an L.A. session guitarist and aVox® electrical engineer tinkered  
around with an amp’s tone circuit and created an archetype of elec-  
tric guitar tone: the original Clyde McCoyTM Wah pedal. Though it was  
designed for the guitar,Vox initially thought they’d sell more to trumpet  
players; that’s why trumpet player Clyde McCoy’s name graces the pedal  
to this day. Few horn players use the pedal today, but countless guitarists  
know the unmistakable tone and range acheived by this pedal, thanks to  
its active circuit and dinstinctive high peak.  
Control 1 (tip): Frequency Range – Changes the high and low fre-  
quency centers off theWah sweep.  
Control 2 (tip): Q (Shape) – Changes the bandwidth of the frequency  
centers. Lower settings produce a mildWah effect, higher settings pro-  
duce extremeWah filtering.  
Control 3 (tip): Volume – Boosts or cuts the output level when the  
Wah is enabled.  
Expression Pedal – Controls theWah effect.

MODEL 3. DigiTech® XP300 Space StationTM  
Synth SwellTM  
This model recreates the most popular tone on a rare and hard-to-find  
pedal. The DigiTech® XP300 Space StationTM Synth SwellTM packs an entire  
outer-space string orchestra into your guitar, and lets you create other-  
worldly effects and flourishes which you can

Expression Pedal – Controls the input level (volume swell).  
MODEL 4. DigiTech Whammy®  
Model 4 captures the unmistakable sound of DigiTech®’s legendary pitch-  
bender, theWhammy®. You can now command smooth pitch bends, rich  
detuning, accurate dive bombs, and fast-tracking harmony shifts, just like  
the original.

MODEL 5. Unicord Uni-VibeTM  
This is the one that set the standard for all chorus pedals. The lush Uni-  
cord Uni-VibeTM chorus effect adds depth and dimension to your music  
that is both subtle and spectacular. No wonder the Unicord Uni-Vibe was  
the choice of so many guitar greats when it was created in the late 60s.  
True to the original, this model also offers a vibrato option.  
Control 1 (tip): Chorus/Vibrato – Selects either the chorus or the  
vibrato effect.Turn the knob all the way to the left to select chorus, or all  
the way to the right to select vibrato.  
Control 2 (tip): Intensity – Adjusts the amount of the effect.  
Control 3 (tip): Volume – Controls the output level of the effect.  
Expression Pedal – Controls the modulation speed. Rocking the pedal  
all the way back (toe up) bypasses the effect just like the original pedal.

MODEL 6. Leslie® 147 Rotary Speaker  
Long prized by organ players for their rich sound and spine-chilling effects,  
rotating Leslie® speakers caught guitarists’ attention after being masterful-  
ly applied by experimenting vocalists and guitar virtuosos in the mid and  
late 60s. Many stompboxes simulate a rotating speaker effect, but Model  
6 approximates the sound of the Leslie 147 rotary speaker specifically,  
with all its subtle nuances and characteristics.  
Control 1 (tip): Drive – Controls the preamp drive/distortion of the  
pedal.  
Control 2 (tip): Minimum Speed – Controls the minimum speed  
reached when the pedal is rocked back (toe up).  
Control 3 (tip): Volume – Controls the output level of the Leslie  
effect.  
Expression Pedal – Controls the rotary speaker speed.

MODEL 7.A/DATM Flanger  
Model 7 recreates the granddaddy of all flangers: the A/DATM Flanger. This  
stompbox set the stage for all flangers that followed in its footsteps. Af-  
ficionados recognize its dramatic jet-engine flyby sweep and appreciate its  
utter lack of background noise.  
Control 1 (tip): Range – Controls the amount of delay time variation  
from the Speed control. When Range is set to its minimum position, the  
Speed control has no effect on the delay time. When Range is set to its  
maximum position, the Speed control sweeps the entire delay time and  
the Expression pedal is effectively disabled.  
Control 2 (tip): Speed – Controls the LFO speed of the flanger effect  
based on the Range setting. When Range is set to its minimum position,  
the Speed control is effectively disabled and the flange sweep is controlled  
by the Expression Pedal.  
Control 3 (tip): Enhance – Controls the amount of feedback in the  
flanger effect. Higher settings produce more dramatic comb filtering.  
Expression Pedal – Manually controls the sweep of the flanger effect.  
The Expression Pedal acts like the Manual knob on the original pedal.

Settings to GetYou Going  
To recreate each Effect Model’s original tone and behavior, set Control  
Knobs 1-3 to the 12 o’clock position. And here are a few famous and  
familiar settings to get you started.  
Cry Baby® This setup models the stock Cry  
Baby® wah tone favored by giants like Page, Slash,  
and Hammett. Adjust the Frequency (Control 1)  
and Q (Control 2) settings for a customWah.  
Vox® Wah – Set the Control knobs in this fashion  
to make theWah pedal behave like a tone control  
on your guitar. Or set the Control knobs to 12  
o’clock to recreate Jimi Hendrix’s and Stevie Ray  
Vaughan’s favoriteWah.  
XP300 This setup gives you an octave synth  
swell effect very similar to what you hear in  
Audioslave’s “I AmThe Highway.”  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
WhammyTM This setup models the octave  
WhammyTM shifting made famous by Rage Against  
the Machine. Set theWet/Dry Mix (Control 3)  
knob to 12 o’clock to create harmony shifting.  
Uni-VibeTM – Setting the knobs to this position  
and rocking the Expression Pedal just off of the  
heel gets that great Gilmour “Breathe” tone. Kick  
in the Big Muff® model and rock the pedal forward  
a bit for theWoodstock national anthem sound.  
Leslie® – Set the knobs in this position to give  
you a great rotary speaker tone.This effect added  
a subtle aura of mystery to the intro to “Hotel  
California” and the guitar solo in “Let It Be.”  
Flanger – For that classic jet flange sound, set the  
knobs to this position. The setting may remind  
you of the unmistakable intro toVan Halen’s  
“Unchained.”

Selecting and Activating a Distortion Model + Effect  
Model  
The Expression FactoryTM has seven Distortion Models that can be  
selected using the MODEL knob. This is done by accessing the Distor-  
tion Model Select mode. Once this mode is accessed, the MODEL knob  
selects a Distortion Model while the rest of the knobs maintain their  
labeled functions. To enter Distortion Model Select mode, follow these  
steps:  
1. Rock the EXPRESSION PEDAL forward and then press and hold  
the TOE SWITCH for three seconds until the INDICATOR LED  
begins flashing yellow. If the distortion was already active, it will turn  
off first, and then turn back on once Distortion Model Select mode is  
active.  
2. Once the INDICATOR LED begins flashing yellow, use the MODEL  
knob to select between the different Distortion Models. The Effect  
Model that was selected prior to entering Distortion Model Select  
mode remains active and does not change as the MODEL knob selects  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
the different Distortion Models. This lets you audition different Distor-  
tion Models with the current Effect Model. Use the three ring knobs  
labeled DIST LEVEL, DIST TONE, and DIST GAIN to adjust the  
distortion settings.  
3. Once a distortion model has been selected, you can exit Distortion  
Model Select mode by pressing the TOE SWITCH again. The Expres-  
sion Factory will then return to normal operation with both the effect  
and distortion bypassed. (The MODEL knob now might be on a dif-  
ferent Effect Model than before it was entered; if so, just turn it back to  
the desired Effect Model and press the TOE SWITCH to activate it.)  
NOTE: Once Distortion Model Select mode has been exited, the Distor-  
tion Model that was selected will be saved off with the Effect Model that  
was active when the distortion was selected. This lets you select and save  
a specific or different Distortion Model to use with each Effect Model.  
For a list of Distortion Models, refer to the Distortion and Cabinet  
Models section.

Distortion and Cabinet Models  
Each Distortion Model also has CIT™ cabinet modeling associated with  
it when using the Out 2 (Mixer) output or when the pedal is in Stereo  
Mixer mode (see Flexible Output Mode)*. Here is a list of the cabinet  
models for each distortion:

plied to the Distortion Model in any output mode.  
Flexible Output ModeTM  
The Expression FactoryTM has four Flexible Output Modes: Mono, Stereo  
Mixer, Stereo Amp, and Amp/Mixer.These modes let you send a mono sig-  
nal to an amp or a mixer, or a stereo signal to two amps or two channels  
of a mixer, or a mono signal to an amp and a mixer simultaneously.  
Mode 1 (MONO) is automatically selected when only one cable is  
plugged into either the OUT 1 (AMP) or OUT 2 (MIXER) output. Mode  
2 (STEREO MIXER), Mode 3 (STEREO AMP), and Mode 4 (AMP/MIXER)  
are enabled when two cables are plugged into both the OUT 1 (AMP)  
and OUT 2 (MIXER) outputs. Mode 2 (STEREO MIXER) is the factory  
default stereo output mode. Mode 3 (STEREO AMP) and Mode 4 (AMP/  
MIXER) can be enabled using the Flexible Output Mode Setup (Modes  
2-4 are all selected using the Flexible Output Mode Setup).

Calibrating the Expression Pedal  
If the Expression Pedal’s range becomes diminished over time, it may be  
necessary to re-calibrate the pedal. Here is the procedure for calibration:  
1. Begin with the power disconnected from the Expression FactoryTM.  
2. Select Model 1 using the MODEL knob.  
3. Insert a standard mono (TS) guitar cable into the FOOTSWITCH  
jack.  
4. Connect the power supply to the Expression Factory. The INDICA-  
TOR LED begins flashing green.  
5. Rock the EXPRESSION PEDAL forward (toe down).  
6. Select Model 2 using the MODEL knob. The INDICATOR LED  
begins flashing yellow.  
7. Rock the EXPRESSION PEDAL back (toe up).  
8. Select Model 3 using the MODEL knob. The INDICATOR LED  
should flash green three times if calibration was successful.  
If the calibration procedure fails, the INDICATOR LED will flash red  
instead of green during step 8 and the unit will not return to normal  
operation until the Expression Pedal has been properly calibrated. Select  
Model 1 using the MODEL knob at this time and repeat steps 5-8 until

Expression Pedal calibration is successful.  
Using the Optional FS3X Footswitch  
The Expression FactoryTM accommodates the optional FS3X 3-button  
footswitch.  
When an Effect Model or an Effect + Distortion Model is enabled, the  
MODE footswitch toggles between Effect Model only (green LED) and  
Effect + Distortion Model (red LED), until either the Expression Factory’s  
TOE SWITCH (Effect Model) or HEEL SWITCH (Effect Model +  
Distortion Model) has been pressed to put the Expression Factory into  
bypass.  
The DOWN footswitch selects the next model down. Pressing and  
holding the DOWN footswitch for three seconds selects Model 1.  
The UP footswitch selects the next model up. Pressing and holding the  
UP footswitch for three seconds selects Model 7.  
NOTE: Use only the stereoTRS cable that ships with the FS3X  
Footswitch to connect the Footswitch to the Expression Factory.
