GMC Forum _ GEAR & PRODUCTION _ Digitech Rp250...

Posted by: Nick_GibsonLP May 11 2007, 12:30 AM

I've been thinking about picking up this pedal but I wanted some opinions on it before I decided to buy it. From the guitar center reviews it seems to be a pretty good multi-effect pedal, I just wanted to see if anyone has tried it. I like how it has a built in drum machine and usb connectivity. Also, how well does the expression pedal work with the pedal? I play mostly heavy metal and blues if that helps.

I actually own an RP350 and for something to toy around with new effects with, the digitechs are great in my opinion. Got one for my 16th birthday that a friend broke by the time I was 18, it's been 3 years since I've owned one and I'm glad to have one again.

It's good for home practice but sucks for rehearsals with bands and gigs. These multiFX can't deal with high volume! I had RP100 before and played a gig with it - it sucks!

I would really only be using it at home anyways, the only traveling I do with my guitar is playing for family and friends and I play sometimes at my school for different events, other then that I mostly just play at home. I figured it was the most versatile option for its price range. I've been looking for a good wah too (I've been trying to nail a good Jimi Hendrix sound and a good wah for Electric funeral, by Black Sabbath), so hows the wah effect on it?

I had a cry baby wah before I owned my digitech and I think the cry baby sounded alot better than the digitech. Having a wah on it for practice at home is great, but I believe any stand-alone wah would be alot better if you are looking to perform with it.
