MGR/Anonymous « DigiTech RP300 »
Published on 07/06/01 at 15:00I started playing guitar in our church's praise and worship team and was in the market for a new chorus pedal. I decided to look a little further at a multi effects box since they are not that much more expensive than a box. I researched on the internet and found that the digitech rp-300 looked to be the most versatile in my price range. I decided to try the unit at a local music store and decided to purchase it from them after they let me experiment with it for about 45 minutes. I paid 179 dollars for the unit.
I like the fact that it is pretty versatile and is also easy to use and program. It appears to be solidly made and has some decent presets which are good starting points. I never had an effect that had "amp modeling" and am satisfied with the the sounds that it can produce. I also like the multitude of on board effects.
The overall aethetic appeaance of the unit leaves a little to be desired, but the unit is functional. I wish that there were a little better control "while playing" of some of the effects like the delay and the flanger. I personally don't like to stand still while i am playing and have accidently "stomped" the unit to a sound that i didn't want (to my embarrassment.) Some of the presets are kind of gaff but they can be over written easily. I also find my self wishing i could easily turn on an effect without having to program the sound.
The unit appears to be well constructed and has held up to what I have been putting it through so far. I'm not so sure that i like where the power cord plugs into the unit as it appears to be a little flimsy if one were to step on it.
Overall I am happy with the unit as it serves my purpose and i think that it is a pretty good value, although i wouldn't mind paying a little more for more control and more sounds.
