The Black Eyed Peas 'Monkey' Around with Digitech® Pedals

(DigiTech | Posted 2006-07-16)


The Black Eyed Peas 'Monkey' Around with Digitech® Pedals

GRAMMY®-award winning group The Black Eyed Peas have won mass appeal amongst critics and fans alike with a stream of Top 40 hits and fervent live performances. The Black Eyed Peas’ fourth album, 2005’s Monkey Business (A&M Records), further demonstrates the band’s solid connection with their audience. Headlining a world tour in support of this extremely successful release, The Black Eyed Peas are plugging into pedals from DigiTech®, a leading manufacturer of guitar signal processors and a Harman International company (NYSE-HAR).

On the road with The Black Eyed Peas, guitarist George Pajon, Jr., and sax, flutist and guitarist Tim Izo are getting lots of mileage from the acclaimed line of DigiTech pedals. Tim, who is a longtime user of the DigiTech Whammy® pedal, creates unique sounds with it for his wind instruments and guitar. Tim has also started using the new DigiTech JamMan® Looper/Phrase Sampler for creating loops on the fly during The Black Eyed Peas’ shows.

George incorporates the DigiTech Jimi Hendrix Experience™ Artist Series Pedal along with the new DigiTech EX-7 Expression Factory™ in his setup. Speaking of the Jimi pedal, George enthuses, “This pedal is amazing! I cannot believe you can get all of his tones in this box!”

Paul Muniz, DigiTech Artist Relations, notes, “Having such creative and high energy musicians as George and Tim endorsing our products shakes it up, and it’s always a pleasure to see our products being used on instruments other than guitar.”
