All user reviews of 4/5 for the DigiTech RP350

Digitech is passed to higher model, but the CPU and treatment remain the same, and the format of the pedal.

For the types of effects available (complete list on the site builder) we have:
-A compressor, a microwave simulator (single to double or vice versa)
Wha-a (very correct)
Disto-modeling
D'ampli-
-Equalizer
-Noise gate (very handy for "breath" and parasites)
-Variety (chorus, delay, tremolo)
-Reverb.
To this was added a few drum machines (fairly basic, or even ugly) and a signal generator (sine, triangle or square) which can couple a parameter (volume, amplifier gain, chorus level ...) for sounds weird but potentially very attractive.

Each "floor" effect is fully adjustable (between 2 and 5 or 6 settings) which is an advantage of a view specs.

The technology is obviously digital, and connectivity is provided (TRS, XLR, USB, ...)

Frankly, I watched quite a competitor, and RP is the most complete multi in its range.

UTILIZATION

So to use, two options:
1. build his own sound from the "bricks" already pre registered in the multi (eg choosing a distortion overdrive, a fender amp, a bit of reverb for effect and here). It's simple, and the resulting sound and completely editable: ideal to approach what we want and then refine.

2. to fully exploit the RP, it is best to start with a blank database and add its modeling / effects one by one: it is long, laborious, it requires several weeks of experience (at least) but the output THE sound that you have running through your head ... except that sometimes one circles, and that the RP has its own limitations sound ...

In summary, the use is laborious if one wants to harness the power of the machine, but given all the settings arranged (many, which is an asset to a multi like this), the 350 did not fare badly

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality ... To be honest, I carry around the same amp for 5 years beginning (roland cube 15X) which I think does not do justice to the sound of RP. Let's say it is very decent but we keep this side slightly cold and "thick" of numerical modeling.

But for trying to headphones, the sound is really good. The models look perfect (the marshall is a marshall, the vox vox a) and far less artificial effects.

So lets say its chemical side comes from the amp, the notes on this part is to be taken lightly ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 5 years (and I had time to go around). I have not tried other models, largely because this type of multi remains relatively rare.

The use for which I bought it was true: my amplifier coupled to the base to 100 €, Father gave me flexibility and versatility and saved me to reinvest in a separate amp ... for a while.

For me, it is ideal if you want: to offer a wide range of sounds real cheap, make it last a very average amp or even a year gain in versatility lives on.

For lovers of his who want something specific and characteristic, or for allergic settings, go your way.

Made in America, not in a cave in Mongolia minor (I have nothing against Mongolia ...).

What are the effects or types of effects available?
Just about everything needed by the scratch, see the opinion of manson.reznor for the total.

Are they edited? Via an editor Mac / PC?
Yes on PC / Mac via Xedit Digitech

What technology is used?
Full digital.

What is the connection?
Input jack, headphone / Aux in mini jack, line out, line output 2 mono jacks / 6.35 amp switchable asymmetrical output 2 XLR / line amplifier, USB port for editing and recording.

Is this a rack or rack-mount model?
No, crank ground.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple?
3 Stomp: 2 to increment / decrement the patches (70 factory 70 user), a switch for channels A / B, 1 assignable expression pedal (wah, volume,

It is clear that for a novice, it can seem complex at first, but not rocket science either, just be trial and error, is to look at ...

The manual is clear and sufficient?
For once a book is really useful and well done, you should take advantage!
Digitech The site is a good source of information.

Editing sounds and effects is it easy?
Once largely digested, do not worry, it's childish. Via Xedit is even easier if you know what one is seeking.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
Excellent overall, the distos are varied and realistic emulations of amps and speakers allow an infinite number of sounds and textures while some are downright gaudy (but that is corrected for equalization), the modulations bluffing, the wah correct. We obviously have not rebounded lamps, but we are not in the way chemical Pocket POD sounds far from it!
Rendering the headphones or output of 2.1 of a PC is very good, excellent in the return of the effects loop of a good all-tube (tested on a Hughes & Kettner Tube 50).

Which ones you prefer, you hate?
My favorite: the distos, the Tube Screamer overdrive so, the delays and chorus superb.
I like less fuzz, and the whammy Picht shifter, but more because I have no use for anything else.

Which instruments do you use?
Ibanez RG1570 Prestige, Gibson Les Paul Studio. I play mostly 80's metal.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
Since 2008.

What is so special that you like most and least?
+: Versatility (edition, 2 channels, cumulative effects), realistic effects / emulations (distos, delays), solid case (aluminum), alphanumeric display for naming patches.
-: Some effects / emulation (see above), no on / off button, a few bugs (patches that overlap or lose the settings, simply power cycle).

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Pocket POD and POD 2, not like at all, VOX AD30VT amp too hairy ...

How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent, and prices have fallen again in time (about 100 €)

With experience, you do again this choice?
Without hesitation, it's really a very good gear, reliable and affordable.
