DigiTech S-100
Not much is documented about the DigiTech S-100. What the record shows comes mostly from DigiTech's own promotion. The unit was part of the late-1990s Studio Series and was also called the Studio 100 in advertising. A February 1998 Sound on Sound advertisement (p.211) described it as a wallet-friendly Studio Series multi-effects processor with a dual-engine design. It promised an effects menu covering reverb, a 16-band vocoder, delay, chorus, flange, detuner, pitch shifting and more. The same ad claimed 20-bit A/D and D/A conversion and a signal-to-noise ratio better than −96dB.

EQ (July 1998, p.131) gave it a short product item rather than a full review. It described the S100 as "the first glimpse of the future from the DigiTech Studio Series" in paraphrase and highlighted the dual-engine configuration. Beyond those advertisements and product blurbs, the S-100 seems to have left a thin paper trail. Exact production years and any later revision history are not documented.
