The Daft Punk Pedal
The Digitech Bass Synth Wah is a curious artifact from the early 2000’s. They’ve long since been discontinued, but they’ve remained popular with fans of Muse, Buckethead, and of course, Daft Punk.

Can you please do more gear roast videos like the t-bird, o-bass or this one. you have such a great sense of humor and i would need to make sure i am not eating or drinking while watching to keep my surroundings safe… xD
gay
That album sucked
For anyone in the comments crying about the Bad Monkey -please stop breathing air.
"This pedal sucks and the sounds are too awful and cheesy to ever use"
also
"I've used the pedal so much that not only has the actuation finger worn away due to erosion, I've repaired it"
I loved and still love the Human After All album.
I'm buying one of these tomorrow from fb marketplace for $60.. It's just missing one knob. (which i ordered from germany lol). But every other listing recently has this pedal from $300 to $350!!!!
I had the guitar version and actually used the mixer out lol. the band I was in at the time I also played keys and had a guitar solo that I doubled with synth, so I ran the pedal to my Roland KC and kicked it on for the doubled part of the solo for an Alt-Dream Theater (what!?) kinda thing. I used it a lot on bass too.
one thing that never gets translated in pedals like these are their effects on sound systems. I played in an electronic dance improv band, and as a young bassist fought to get this pedal on my board, and it worked really well when we started to plug it into subwoofers. I will say– switching to the boss SYB-5 was a major upgrade, but sub/synth pedals can sound really rough until you get enough wattage behind them.
I smoke crack ????
A frettless, a good echo and this pedal are cosmic.
wish i’d seen this video when my friend lent his to me i couldn’t get it to do anything useful and then i looked at the manual and just gave up
I've used this pedal to make some amazing sci fi dirty synth sounds for my ugly industrial metal music.
I have the bass and had the guitar Synth, the bass synth is great on guitar so I sold the guitar version
That shirt… You've a good taste, sir
Buckethead can be heard using this (probably both the bass and guitar version, since he plays both) on a lot of different songs of his. I never knew what it was until watching this video. Just hearig you play it made it instantly click in my head haha
I have one, but if I didn't I wouldn't buy one at current high prices. Better to get an EHX Mono Synth–much better pedal, much less money. BUT if you have the Digitech already, then it is worth keeping and totally useful.
I agree you need the manual, which specifies that the cab sim is for running direct or when recording 2:24. As far as 3:05, the dual outputs are very, very useful (4:40 is not correct, because if you use both channels, you can blend a dry bass with the effect beautifully). If you use both outs, you can use 2 amps and blend dry with wet. But for most of us, instead try running each output on the pedal into a separate channel of the Behringer MX400 micromixer ($20 USD and very small, fits nicely on a pedal board). The out on the Behringer mixer can then go to one amp or to your next pedal. It works GREAT. This allows you to blend in as little or as much of the effect and control the volume. This is great for the synth settings, much more control.
The EHX Monosynth has a blend, and has better synth sounds. But if you have the Digitech, ignore the hate, get the MX400 (see above) and make it sing. Or don't blend and get crazy.
Well now I know what pedal Buckethead uses
These are loads of fun! I regret ditching mine back in the day.
Damn this pedal doesnt sound that good lol
You think you can sneak up the lick without us noticing?
the donny benet shirt goes hard
I see that greenies treat bag haha
That pedal sounds focking ace. I don't care what this guy thinks, I'm getting on of those.
So odd. That pedal I’ve run into in countless stores, unsold or used. Now you tell me it’s valuable? Haha.
I prefer digitech to boss. Am I weird?
Chris Wolstenholme had one in his pedalboard..
That pedal fuccs, ive been searching for one in good condition.
Also sounds a bit like it mightve been used by justice
I found one of these at the thrift store for like 5 bucks def inspires you to play some crazy stuff
love for donny benet!!!
"Amp sim be the end of the signal chain"
A what? thats sounds weird. NO, the amp pedal is ALWAYS the first pedal after your guitar. Yes, even the Tuner is only after that. Maybe a do a YT video about it 😉
5:56 BUY IT USE IT BREAK IT FIX IT
I believe this is more the "Buckethead pedal"
Cheesy forgotten about DigiTech pedals and Daft Punk go hand in hand
I sooo bought that thing simply because I'm a huge daft punk fan and i don't regret a dime i spent on it
THANK YOU! I always thought my pedal was broken but this video cleared up alot of confusion for me in using this thing in the studio.
I had one of these years back, my issue with a lot of “bass synth in a box” pedals from that era (the Boss SYB-3 and Akai Deep Impact also spring to mind) was the lack of flexibility. I could find sounds I liked but they were never useful or tweakable enough to get a permanent home in my rig.
One of the only “synth” pedals I liked from that era technically wasn’t a synth at all, the Ibanez SB7 Synthesizer Bass from their Tone Lok series. It’s an analog circuit that combines octave, distortion and envelope filter effects similar to an EHX Bass Microsynth, it wasn’t super flexible (for example the filter decay is controlled by a two-way slow/fast switch rather than a knob) but I found it incredibly useful.
