Overall, I settled for this unit because of the price it was presented to me for, as well as the name brand, but, if money was no issue, I do know the newer units have a tube built in for that warm distortion that this unit lacks. But, overall, for the price of what a couple stomp boxes would set you back new, you can purchase one of these used and have alot more at hand to tweak with. It just takes a couple weeks of really tweaking with it to understand how to achieve that really great tone you been lookin for. |

Features:
This Unit is AC power only, with an inline transformer that connects the power to the unit via MIDI style connector. It is a non tube pre-amp effects processor. The biggest feature that it does NOT have, is a power switch (makes NO sense to me). Effects in the analog section (so the effects are warmer) include Compression & Distortion (3 solid state types), and the Digital section includes 2 different EQ's (Full bandwidth 10 band, and a 4 band parametric), Cabinet Emulator, Reverb (3 different types of reverb), Delay (5 different types), Sampler, Pitch Shifter (5 different ones including Pitch Shift, Mono Detune, Dual Detune, Whammy & arpeggiator, Chorus (3 different), Flange (2 different), Phaser (2 different), Mono & Stereo tremelo, Auto Panner, Noise Gate, Stereo Ducker, Phase Inverter, Traditional Wah, and AutoWah. |

Sound Quality:
I play with a Jackson with a Dimarzio Tone Zone Humbucker and stock Jackson J-103 Single coils thru a Samson Servo 170 power amp and 4 x 12 cab, the tone is very warm and crisp, and extremely versital. It is very quiet, but seeing it has an onboard noise gate, it should be ... lol. THe effects are all VERY versitile and the parameters have a very wide range of 'tunability'. About the only thing that tone wise it is pretty much unable to deliver, is the nice warm crunch of a set of tubes, IE marshall and older fender amps. |

Ease of Use:
The unit has 100 factory presets, and 100 user programable presets. The presets are kind of awkward to really get the hang of dialing a specific sound in. But the unit is capable of doing patch dumps back and forth from a computer, if you have a program available online for free called RPEdit21. With this program, the parameters and EQ's are all done graphically on your computer screen. The MIDI patch cords set me back 20 bucks at Circuit City, and like I said, the software was free. The software, according to the writers, was written with much help from Digitech programmers, although I dont think the program is endorsed in any way from Digitech. Seeing this is an extra, I will not include this software interface within my rating, the rating reflects ease of use and programming parameters direct from the front of the unit. |

Durability:
Ive been playing thru this live for the past few months, and it has performed absolutely Flawlessly thus far! I have spent a considerable amount of time tweaking 'MY' sound out of it, and thus far, everyone that is a guitarist that listens to me, loves all my tones I have coming out of it, Distortion, Clean, Dirty Blues ... it has done me great justice. |
