The DigiTech X-Series DigiVerb is a digital reverb pedal: a stompbox that adds room, hall and spring-style ambience to your guitar signal using digital processing. DigiTech markets it as the "X-Series DigiVerb Digital Reverb," and among its reverb types is a spring reverb that RockBoard's PedalPedia describes in characteristically vivid terms: "These include a Spring reverb that sounds so real that you can almost hear it rattle inside the box."1
Spring reverb is the old-school sound of an amp's internal tank, the twangy, boingy ambience associated with surf guitar and vintage combos. Having a spring type on a digital pedal means you can get that character without carrying a physical spring tank, and dial it alongside other reverb types on the same pedal. For a broader look at what reverb pedals do, see Reverb Pedals.
Controls
The DigiVerb keeps things simple with four knobs1:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Level | Sets the overall output level of the pedal |
| EQ | Shapes the tone of the reverb |
| Decay | Sets how long the reverb tail lasts |
| Type | Selects the reverb type, including the spring reverb |
Stereo operation and outputs
The pedal has two outputs: Out 1 carries the mono signal, and Out 2 is provided for stereo operation1. Running a second cable from Out 2 to a second amp or a stereo input gives you the pedal's stereo reverb; a single cable into Out 1 works as an ordinary mono setup.
Power
The DigiVerb runs on 9V DC, center negative, the standard polarity for most pedal supplies1. It draws 148mA1, which is a relatively heavy draw for a compact pedal.
At 148mA, the DigiVerb is beyond what most daisy-chain outputs or a battery can comfortably supply. Plan on a dedicated output on a pedalboard power supply rated for at least that figure.
Where it sits among DigiTech reverbs
DigiTech has produced a number of reverb pedals over the years, and the DigiVerb is part of that line. Later models include the DigiTech Polara Stereo Reverb, the DigiTech Supernatural Ambient Reverb, and the DigiTech HardWire RV-7 Stereo Reverb, as well as the earlier DigiTech XP 400 Reverberator. Each takes a different approach to reverb, from the Polara's Lexicon-derived modes to the Supernatural's ambient textures, so the DigiVerb's mix of types, including its spring reverb, is one option among several in the maker's range.

Questions
Does the DigiTech DigiVerb run in stereo?
Yes. The pedal has two outputs: Out 1 carries the mono signal, and Out 2 is there for stereo operation. Running a cable from both outputs into two amps or a stereo rig gives you the pedal's stereo reverb, while a single cable into Out 1 works as a normal mono setup.
What power supply does the DigiTech X-Series DigiVerb use?
The DigiVerb runs on a 9V DC supply with a center negative plug, the standard polarity used by most pedal power supplies. It draws 148mA, which is well above what a typical daisy-chain output or a battery can comfortably provide, so a dedicated supply output is the practical choice.
Is the DigiTech DigiVerb analog or digital?
It is a digital circuit. DigiTech lists the X-Series DigiVerb as a digital reverb pedal, which is how it produces its range of reverb types, including the spring reverb the maker describes as sounding real enough that you can almost hear it rattle inside the box.
How much current does the DigiVerb draw?
DigiTech lists the current draw at 148mA. That is a relatively hungry figure for a single pedal, so it is worth checking your power supply's per-output rating before sharing a daisy chain with other pedals.
