What are the effects, types of effects available?

They are quite numerous and it would take too long to list, but there are all major (delay, reverb, whammy, wah, chorus, phaser, flanger and many more)
Note the ability to simulate a cab, and the ability to simulate a specific type mic for your guitar.

What technology is used?

Digital Technology

Are they edited? Via a publisher Mac / PC?

Yes they are, a CD is normally supplied with for this.

What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)

It features a dedicated input jack on the guitar, two line inputs (where the effects can be allocated a dedicated XLR microphone input, two output jacks 6.5 (right and left) with two XLR outputs (right and left ) and a USB port for connection to PC.
(He also has a connection for the footswitch)

Model pedal not rack!

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple?

She is and provides quick Many features of the pedals, however, to fully exploit the possibilities of the beast, a careful reading of the record will be essential.

Editing sounds and effects is easy?

Editing sounds is both simple and complete and leaves many possibilities of adjustments to the user.

The manual is clear and sufficient?

The manual is clear, accurate and complete, SIR!

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?

Rated effects, it is very good and very realistic, we have a condensed small wonders in ptite box.
Modeling side, a clean sound is excellent, its crunch is also Hon. Distortion in prices for many will find them, I only regret that distos has a tendency to be either too noisy or too muted. it is nevertheless well made and it is possible to use the pedal only multi-effect on the loop of your amp. on the other hand not only distal effect, it will go through one of the amp simulation for that or go through a pedal external damage.
Which instruments do you use?

I use a jackson Jsr30, a Fender Stratocaster Mex, but I sometimes use some effects hard bass ibanez sr 300.
In all these situations it is doing very honorably.

Which ones do you prefer, you hate?

No particular preferences for every situation I use a different effect. Some nevertheless seems more gimmick than others as Yahyah.

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?

I use it for 1 year and a half

What thing do you like most/least about it?

What I like most is his versatility, and the absence of restrictions from digitech, it is thus in the twinkling of an eye to integrate a configuration already include the effect or pre amp and switcher in the blink of an eye.
Note also the possibility once connected via USB to the PC to register by checking all the pedals, foot, therefore very valuable because it avoids asking the guitar.
What I like least, that defects in the distal but now I pass by a foot outside no longer a problem.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

I actually saw a few models including rotating a pod xt live. THE RPX 400 has nothing to envy and some aspects demonstrated more versatility

What is your opinion about the value for the price?

Well it depends on the use that was! Compared to focntion of the beast, because it is EXCELLENT that you have with a turnkey solution for playing, connect the headphones to a string of pc speaker or an amp or whatever, it works and many beginner budget restricted will be more than happy. Now, to use as I did today, ie use it only multi because I think I could find cheaper (300 euro nine when he was still manufactured)

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?

Yes, without hesitation, because for a while I largely used all its capabilities, and even today, I only use some of its functions, it is not always stored in the closet. But if you have the means are planning to buy a distortion pedal tube and there you tighten on your crankset to worship!
