Digitech X Series Digidelay and CF-7 Chorus Factory
Has anyone heard about these pedals in terms of their reliability and
sound? I know in the distant past Digitech=cheaply made pedals. Sort of
like Behringer now. Thanks!

I don't have either of the pedals you mention, but I do have the Multi-
Chorus, Digiverb and Screamin' Blues. I don't really abuse mine, but
they seem well made. Maybe not as bulletproof as the Boss pedals, but
I think they could stand up pretty well...

I have the Digidelay and the Digiverb. Both have a nice feature set
and I've had no problems. The Digidelay has a simple 2-second looping
function that's mostly a novelty, but fun. The Digiverb spring reverb
emulation is surprisingly useful (but both my amps have spring reverb
so this won't get much use...). I haven't tried the built-in speaker
emulation mode, but expect I will plug the Digiverb directly into the
board at some point.
Both have stereo output, which is nice, too. Neither supports a
stereo input, unlike one of the Boss delays. Battery life is a joke -
you'll need a power supply to play more than your 15 minute slot at
the local jam night...
I recommend both very highly for sound quality. Now if only I could
find a good adhesive that would keep the d**n velcro strip attached!

On the velcro issue...
I've had to carefully peel off the rubber backing on some pedals, clean
the metal with acetone, then use the "industrial" tape. My Digitech
DF-7 required that. I don't know if they're using some sort of silicone
rubber or what, but the tape kept peeling off. Since sticking to the
metal, it works great. And I put the backing in an envelope in a
drawer. If I ever want to sell, it's very easy to put it back on with
contact cement for "good as new" appearance. Heck, I could give the
buyer the option of velcro or rubber back. And you don't destroy serial
numbers if you remove the backing before putting on the velcro. I may
just do this as a preferred method from here on out. My pedal board has
carpeting, so cushion isn't an issue.

Industrial VELCRO tape, that is.

Yah - I suppose that's the solution - and I think you may be right
about the silicone. Whatever it is, even industrial Velcro doesn't
want to stick to the rubber they're using. And even if you do get it
to stick, after a nice warm afternoon, you'll still find a pedal or
two dangling from those fancy short cables you built and flopping
around loose in the pedalboard case.
Are we having fun yet? You bet!
