The HardWire range of "Extreme Performance" pedals from Digitech have the look and feel of what you might call boutique pedals even though Digitech are one of the big boys when it comes to stomps. With rugged construction and a refined tone, they've become quite the thing to step on.
Our man Chappers, requested a look at this range after having heard good things about them in his travels. He was rewarded by the arrival of a lovely show demonstration floor unit containing the entire range.
