The pedal that changes everything now with 10 free ePedals included!

The DigiTech® iStomp™ is an entirely new concept in pedals. It works just like a traditional stompbox with one huge exception. It can be completely reconfigured by loading it with any of the many e-pedals available in the Stomp Shop app. The iStomp now comes with 10 of the top ePedals, right out of the box!

Unlike devices that require you to stay tethered to your iOS device, the iStomp does all of its processing internally. This means professional-quality, high-definition signal processing with no latency and you don’t need your iOS device while you’re playing.

See what the new world of e-pedals can do for your music.

Each iStomp comes with two e-pedals: Total Recall digital delay and Redline Overdrive. The first time you connect to your iStomp you can choose one more e-pedal from the different DigiTech pedals for only 99¢. After that you can download new e-pedals for as little as 99¢.

Stomp Shop App
Connect the iStomp to an iOS device using the DigiTech Smart Cable. In about the same time it takes to download a song, you can completely reconfigure the iStomp with any e-pedal from your virtual road case using the Stomp Shop app. Disconnect the Smart Cable and you’re ready to use your iStomp just like you would any traditional pedal.

e-pedal Trial Period
The iStomp is the only stompbox that allows players to demo different e-pedals using their own rig before they buy it. Through the app you can listen to a demo of all the e-pedals but unlike all other stompboxes you load any e-pedal for up to 5 minutes to see how it sounds through your amps using your guitar before paying anything.

e-pedal Virtual Road Case
The Stomp Shop saves a record of all the e-pedals you purchase becoming your e-pedal virtual road case. You can now carry your entire e-pedal collection with you on your phone. From the Stomp Shop app you can reload any e-pedal to your iStomp at any time.

e-pedal Custom LED Color
You can choose one the color of the 9 dot LED light on their iStomp when you load an e-pedal from the Stomp Shop App e-pedal store and virtual road case. It is a great way to identify each e-pedal when it is loaded on your iStomp.

DigiTech Smart Cable (DSC for iOS)
The new DigiTech Smart Cable (DSC) is a proprietary cable developed by DigiTech in conjunction with Apple that allows direct communication between DigiTech products and iOS devices such as an iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad. The iStomp along with the Stomp Shop App are the first DigiTech products to incorporate the new DSC cable and DSC Port.

    I think this pedal sounds fantastic, and it's built as well as anything else I've used. The configurable LED is pretty cool as well. I know many guitarists are hung up on the true-bypass issue, and I am as well to an extent. BUT, the very first thing on my board is a BS-2 buffer/spliiter, from Axxess Electronics, which converts my signal to low impedance, and from that point on, there is no signal loss, extra noise, or any other audible issues. I can run true bypass and buffered devices w/o any problems. It's all in how you set up your pedal board.
    It's a simple stompbox, but I love the fact that I can use it as a supplement to my pedal board. I find that on occasion I need an octaver, or a particular overdrive and with this I don't have to buy an additional pedal. I can just download the model from my iPod touch and for that night, I have the extra flavor the gig calls for. I only have to buy it once and the models are inexpensive.
    This unit is built quite well. More importantly, I love what my ears are hearing. The models are very, very accurately done. I've owned, or have borrowed friends pedals from which some of the models are derrived, and I can say that DigiTech did an amazing job getting them to sound authentic. The dynamics really shined: the Redline overdrive, as well as the Glimmer and Rodent drives cleaned up when rolling off my volume, and they didn't color the sound of my guitar. I've played a couple of different guitars through this pedal, using several different models and they all let the natural characters of each guitar shine through. I'm very picky about what I put on my board, and I wouldn't hesitate to add this pedal. Most of my other pedals are from Fulltone, Xotic, Axxess Electronics, and HardWire, and this fits in nicely.

    I would love to have the option of downloading some of the more quircky pedals DigiTech has produced in the past, such as the Gonkulator, or some of the stranger modulation effects that the Space Station was capable of.
    You buy one box and for a little more, each, you can have several different effects to choose from and download them in between sets from your phone. That's a great value.

      Comments about DigiTech iStomp Downloadable Stompbox:

      So far, every one of the 15 effects I've gotten for the iStomp have completely exceeded my expectations. The 'Swing Shift' pedal became an instant favorite, inspiring me to write a whole bunch of new riffs and revisit some old ones. Previously, I had never really messed around with delay pedals much, except to use them for a little slapback echo. The 'Double Cross' delay has changed that for me, making learning EVH's Cathedral a breeze. I could probably go on all day extolling the virtues of each of the effects and how much they've helped unleash my creativity and inspired me to write new material, but, enough of that, it's time to play!

        Comments about DigiTech iStomp Downloadable Stompbox:

        I love having a Stomp Shop full of options! I can try out any pedal before I buy and then I only end up spending 1/10th or less the price of the standalone effect. The quality is fantastic. My favorites so far are the Red Compressor and the Tape Delay.

        The easy workaround for the lack of multi effects on this pedal that some complain about is to just use more iStomps! When you do the math it's hundreds of dollars cheaper than buying a full pedalboard and you maintain the quality that is often lost in some multi effects pedals.

        Very cool idea and the pedal effects sound great. I play in a couple cover bands and can change my iStomp to what I need. Like being able to try new pedals for 5 minutes for free. Really like the Redline and Lexicon reverb pedals and new pedals keep coming. I have a permanent place for iStomp on my board.

        this is digital? you'd never know it by hearing it.  this is by far the best sounding digital pedal i've ever heard, and i've tried them all.  plus i can change it if i want to try something new or get sick of an old sound without having to pay the price of a new pedal.  I'm excited to see what pedals they come out with next.

        Digitech's iStomp

        Comments about DigiTech iStomp Downloadable Stompbox:

        Definitely something to have in the arsenal of pedals. This thing sounds great, easy to use and set up. Things to remember. This IS NOT a multi-effect. You simply load the sound you choose from the stomp shop and voila; You have the sound of your choosing on the istomp.
        Almost any kind of sound you want via stompbox format? I'll admit, I was a little shaky at first with but having tried the istomp in my chain with other pedals, it shined. I play a lot of different music from jazz to rock to pop and r&b. I set up a tubescreamer and the redline overdrive (one of the istomp's drive tones that comes with it). Nice crunch sound with a lead boost. Great sounding delays and a tap tempo feature as well. Haven't even tried out all of the sounds because there are so many, however the guys at digitech seem to be quick on the updates and new pedals pop up in the stomp shop often.
        Durable chasis, very lightweight. Great for travelling to the gig. For school I use it as a reverb and it fits nicely into my gig bag. Also very compact with as far as board real estate is concerned.
        Amazing value. Whatever sort of sound you need is there. No need to run out and buy that flanger for one tune. Just load it on the istomp and you're good to go.

        a lot of potential here.

        Comments about DigiTech iStomp Downloadable Stompbox:

        So long as you're comfortable having a digital pedal in your loop, there's something here for everyone. The iStomp has potential.
        The iStomp's customizability makes it both perfect way to start your collection, while fitting onto even the most expansive of boards.
        The box seems compact and durable. The footswitch and encoders have a solid feel to them. The configurable color LED and custom labels are a nice touch. No noticeable noise issues.
        Even if you never buy another effect beyond the first 3 What's not to like?

        Be careful - must buy effects seperately

        By Ken Ingle

        from Undisclosed

        Comments about DigiTech iStomp Downloadable Stompbox:

        This is NOT a multi-effects pedal. You can only use one effect at a time. You have to pay for them, and of course the better ones are aroud $10 each. And it takes about 30 seconds to switch between effects so its not like you could switch in the middle of a performance. For this price, why not just get a multi-effects processor? Or buy a Line6 amp with built in effects? You can get a dozen built in effects in some pedals already. Can't use with a battery either and doesn't have a stereo headphone jack. I don't get it. I'm returning it 1 hour after buying it.

        This pedal sounds amazing

        By Kelly Ritchotte

        from United States

        Comments about DigiTech iStomp Downloadable Stompbox:

        This a cool pedal. I would love to see DigiTech make available some of their more unusual effects, such as the "Gonkulator", and perhaps some updated versions of the other weird modulation effects like the ones found in the old Space Station.
        Firstly, yes, only one model can occupy at a time, but the modeling is so good, it's amazing. I have owned or borrowed most of the models I've downloaded and these sound like the real thing. The dynamics are very nice, which is where many modeled effects fall short. Another plus was that when trying different guitars through it, the transparency was terrific. It allowed the natural tone of each guitar to come through. The models are quite inexpensive, and I like the idea of using this for the more obscure effects which I would use on occasion, but don't wish to invest in the actual pedals. I can buy one pedal, purchase the models, keep them stored on my iPhone and download them to the pedal as I need them.
        The iStomp seems to be designed and built very well. The sound quality is very, very good. This would be a nice addition to my board, which contains many 'boutique' units.
        I quite like the fact that the iStomp is relatively inexpensive and that the models are all fairly priced as well. It's definitely a great bang for the buck. I'm absolutely going to purchase one, so I can quit bothering my friend for his.
