MGR/Ruben « Digitech RP80 »
Published on 07/11/04 at 15:00I purchased this unit at Guitar Center. What prompted me to buy it was the affordability of the unit and that I would be getting more for my buck $79.99 plus tax.
Initially, I liked the the description of the unit and what it was able to do. but more importantly I thought the price was fantastic.Ultimately, I like that you can create your own settings and save them on your user settings a total of 40. The drum machine and the tuner are a great option and are very useful.
I disagree with some of the reviews... the presets are not all that great and are somewhat annoying unless they are tweaked. Secondly, the battery option is ok but not really needed since it comes with an AC power cord.
The box is most certainly a little tank and can take a bit of a beating...it is definately built to take a stomping.
There are alot of other things I could mention about the rp80, but the bottom line is the pros definately out way the cons. I discovered that I can get some real nice results from some of the factory presets by tweaking some of my amp settings which I don't normally like to do. But I was able to get close to Tom Shultz, Judas Priest and Van Halen tones just by tweaking those amp settings and that is a plus if you are in a classic rock band like myself.
