Members chrisjnyc Posted November 4, 2011 Members Share Posted November 4, 2011 Anyone compare the two Digitech pedals? XP300 vs the newer EX-7? I had the EX-7 for a short while, and it didn't seem to get the same range of synthy sounds.... at least from what I have seen on vvarious space station demos.

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted November 4, 2011 Members Share Posted November 4, 2011 The EX7 only uses the Synth String settings from the XP300. The XP300 has more to offer than just the Synth Strings, IMO. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=7557041 http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=7562331 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members manymanyhaha Posted November 5, 2011 Members Share Posted November 5, 2011 I have an xp200 that was modded with the space station chip by jetpacks and later acquired the ex-7. Obviously the space station is much larger and has a lot more sounds. If you just want the synth sound though, the ex-7 is more editable. You can control the attack and release with knobs while the space station has different presets with basically no editing. Also, on my guitar, the space station synth sound has a tendency to be a bit more like a ping pong delay with some fade out regeneration while the ex-7 tends to be more synthy. Hope that helps.

Members boringmachine Posted November 5, 2011 Members Share Posted November 5, 2011 as much i love my XP300 (my secret weapon), i have some issues with it. 1) the bypass sucks2) wonderful patches of synth and strings, but kinda digital sounding.3) no Mix knob/features.4) not much editing or tweaking of each presets. just the exp pedal to tweak the limited range.5) it's discontinued and i've to make sure that i maintain my current one. those issues can be solve with additional pedals, e.g true bypass looper with mix knob, analog amp simulato, eq pedal). but gonna cost u some money.

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted November 5, 2011 Members Share Posted November 5, 2011 I agree about the xp300 sounding digital. In fact it is so digital, it sounds like a cartoon or video game. But that is its strength. What other pedal does that effect better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted November 5, 2011 Members Share Posted November 5, 2011 A bit crusher? The space station has a pseudo bit crusher, and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted June 18, 2015 Members Share Posted June 18, 2015 I recently picked up a Digitech EX-7 for a good deal. I wanted to compare the Synth Strings with the original XP-300. Has anyone else noticed that they don't sound the same? They are similar of course, but by no means identical (no matter how you set the knobs). I'm trying to pinpoint the differences exactly. For starters, the stereo separation is distinctly more subtle on the EX-7. And the 4th interval seems more subtle as well. Not that this information is very useful now 10 years after the EX-7 was released. I'm really late to the party. i miss the days when you guys used to care about stuff like the BOSS PS-3 and the Digitech Space Station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
