Digitech "The Weapon" on Bass

Sign in to disble this ad
Last night I received a Digitech "The Weapon" pedal as a door prize at a event & I must say I'm stunned by this pedal!

It has 7 modes & most of them work very well with bass.

3 distortion modes: the bottom does not drop out! The second dirt mode is more like overdrive ... I like this one very much.

2 octaves up or 2 octave down mode: it tracks very well & it has a wet/dry blend in this mode!

Phaser/distortion mode: some bottom loss in this mode but usable if you have a blend pedal of some sort. ( LS-2)

autowah/distortion mode: some bottom loss in this mode as well

Sitar mode ... I found this to be mostly useless on bass ... to bad you can't keep the reverb part & loose the sitar part.

Never messed with much Digitech gear & its very unlikely I would have ever even tried out a pedal like this if it hadn't fell into my lap.

This pedal is going on my board.

The Octave mode tracks very well with my active Pbass in 3 of the 4 ranges that it does .... the 2 Octaves down does not work well unless you play above the 12th fret.

This tracks as good as the Octave patch on my GT10b & the old OC2 I once had.
