MGR/Dave « Digitech RP350 »
Published on 12/30/06 at 15:00I have been a guitar player for over 35 years--mainly as a hobby. Sometimes in church.
I purchased this unit yesterday from Musician's Friend--needing a good multiFX pedal. I paid $180.00 for it.
What attracted me to the unit was that it had a USB port for use as an interface for recording guitar on computer--also Digitech provides [through their website] software which allows the user to edit and save patches on computer. In addition, the unit has two XLR outputs (L/R) which allow the user to run it direct to a mixer for either recording to run signal through onstage monitors in live performance.
The quality of the unit is crap. It has a metal case--which should indicate a stageworthy unit. However, if the casing was made from gold or platinum, this would still be worthless junk since the circuitry inside is crappy. Having owned this less than a day this thing shot craps when I tried to make some usable patches for myself.
As noted earlier, the outside construction is heavy duty--however digitech must not be putting quality circuitry in their units since it died after less than a day of light use.
Save your money and keep looking--this is junk.
