Basically, analog pedals have a circuit board (Here is the circuit board of what is probably the most infamous fuzz of all time, the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, which Dave used multiple times). It's very simple and has a natural tone.

Digital pedals will have chips in the circuit, similar to that of a computer. (Here is a photo of the inside of a digital effect pedal...note the Texas Instruments chip). Digital pedals don't sound as full, instead they are more thin and a lot of purists despise digital pedals. However, because digital pedals have chips, they are able to have many settings, because the differences are saved on a chip, much like a computer.

I believe that this is another digital pedal circuit board, but I'm not sure.
