i bought the digitech rp355 a year ago and after reading the handbook was well under way setting my own presets.(make sure you take the protective film off the unit as it makes pressing the buttons easier.)the range of sounds are varied and very good.i have had loads of effects pedals and multi effects in the past(boss,zoom,korg) which i have sold and this is one i'll keep.it does all i ever wanted.all the effects built in are very useable.the built in drum machine does a good job.to go into all the effects would take to long to review. i currently use a gibson sg standard,fender super champ xd(valve amp)as my guitar and amp.other set up may have a different sound to mine.

Always looking to lighten the load to gigs, I bought this because it had a huge number of plusses: a good price, a wide range of effects, lightweight with a small footprint and most importantly for me, XLR outputs for going straight into a mixing desk without needing a DI box. This is very useful in that you can leave your amp at home and just ask understanding sound engineers at gig venues to run the unit straight into their mixing desks. (You are then at the mercy of said sound person and the on-stage monitoring, but that's the trade-off.)There is a very good selection of amplifier and cabinet combinations, modulation and delay effects and a nice sounding wah too, but nothing stands out as amazing. I would say that it's a brilliant unit for bedroom use and for trying out sounds in a rehearsal room. However, the sound of this unit quickly becomes fatiguing. There's a high-mid-range peak that you can never quite get rid of no matter how hard you work the equaliser (even with its helpful sweepable mid-band). Once that sound runs through at full-band volume for a while it begins to be the only thing you hear.The amp+cab combinations, whilst solid, do tend to become same-y after a while and some of the distortions are just poor. The filter effects like wah and the phasers are good, as are the modulations (chorus, flanger, vibe) and delays. There are some nice Lexicon reverbs here: not as lush-sounding as Lexicon studio reverbs, but this whole unit is a tenth of the price of a rack-mounted Lexicon processor so it's hardly surprising! There is also a Fender Deluxe reverb that does that nice "boink" sound when you hit the strings too hard.I wish I could have used it live a lot more, but the depth of quality is missing from the sounds (especially the distortions), there is a noticeable break in the sound as adjacent patches are selected and that frequency peak is irritating. In terms of construction, too, I think it's limited to bedroom use: there's no on/off switch; the plastic top panel is easily bent out of shape; and the first pot, with the push function, can easily be crushed in a gig-bag, requiring you to pull the plasic knob off and press the pot itself in order to work it. Also, with such a small form factor, the three pedals feel very tight and in the heat of a gig it's easy to accidentally kick in the bypass, switch to "stomp" mode or worse, start the looper recording!I've also recorded using this unit and it is fine for rough demos. For all its shortcomings, this unit is a great introduction to the world of effects and does away with a lot of complications, but the limitations do mean that it probably won't go much further than your bedroom or first 10-20 gigs.

This arrived very quickly within 2 days.its a great effects board. I had the older RP300 for 12 years ago and gigged it too death for live. it was so worn i had to get another one. So i got this one which is more up to date. at half the price which is good. i really like the 4 outputs feature as its more for a pro setup. it suits my band setup. 2 outputs are line plus 2 xlr to a mixing desk. so i run the xlr to our monitor desk with headphone feeds to singer,drummer with click track etc and the line out to my Marshall stack. plus the other good feature is you can program patches on your laptop as it has a USB socket. this saves me bending over for 5 mins programming when at my ripe old age you dont want to bend down to long. lol.they have added two extra features compared to the old RP300 which is a harmoniser and looper which are both great.The only niggly thing is sometimes when i switch the wah pedal on it sometime switches to volume pedal and i cut my volume off.but with a bit of foot practice i managed to get used to it. you may be able to program it in so it doesn't do this. i havent tried yet.the distortions are not as varied as the old RP300 as they had good blues,crunch sounds and one metal sound. but they replaced the blues and fender crunch sounds in this unit with more varied rock and metal sounds, new dark and heavy sounds are great for all types of rock and metal from metallica to Korn. this suits my metal band so im fine with this change. but if you like blues you can always get a few pedals of your taste. best of all it has the digitech whammy which boss or Line 6 don't have so i like this for the crazy vai and satriani solos.great load of effects for your buck compared to Boss and Line 6. highly recommended.
