Features:
Not a bad little unit. Especially for those who don't like to jack around with a bunch of parameters. You can use battery power or a wall wart.(as usual, it doesn't come with a wall wart) It has most of the effects that the RP-100 has, a few less I believe. And also a little less control of the parameters. No knobs, just push button controls. I was also surprised to find that the unit housing is made of plastic, which looks like metal. The RP-100 has a metal housing. I wish the RP-50 did too. It also has a drum machine, which does the job.
I use this a lot with head phones and my amp. I have a fender twin. |

Sound Quality:
I play a Yamaha Pacifica through it, and it suits my needs perfectly. This is my first effects unit, so I really can't compare it with anything else. I have noodled with some effects units while in a store. But not enough to make a sound comparison.(no pun intended) One thing that i noticed was a little noisiness. Not too bad but still there. A friend who owns a RP-100 told me i need to balance the input level with my amp. I also think that an external power supply will quiet it down some. I haven't bought on yet, still using batteries. heh heh. |

Ease of Use:
This is the beauty of the unit. It's easy to use. I tend to like things on the simpler side. This thing keeps it simple. |
|
Durability:
I haven't had it that long.(I wish it had a metal housing!) We'll see. I'll keep you posted. |
