exceptional accuracy from the amp/cabinet sounds. With the option to model my own preset sounds I can make each song unique and even musos in the audience can't quite figure what is going on. he other band members love the sound too as it gives our band a sound/feel that is not easy to replicate.

no power supply provided & on the bp200 the verification part of setting up the unit is a bit of a pain. It should automatically be pedal responsive to the units sounds output annd in bypass mode.

tuning leds could be a bit more distinctive or have an led note display.Very roadworthy product.

Speaking to company reps they were fantastic.

practical addition to my set up and sound.

Digital modeling only get you so far, but this unit sounds pretty good in most of the patches. The autowah algorithm is a difficult to tweak so that it triggers properly and shapes the Q envelope in a useful way. The speaker modeling isn't particularly subtle. Editing the chorus effect takes some trial and error. The reverb patches are not especially distinguished, but are quite usable. I bought this unit to replace a pedal board full of gadgets in my live rig, and it serves that purpose perfectly. I might have some doubts about using it in the studio. As with any multieffect, some of the preset patches are just plain silly, and most of them benefit from judicious editing. The distorted sounds are decent. The octave patch is as good as a Boss OD-3 (my standard for live octave gadgets). The amp models range from sexy to ugly; anyone should be able to find four or five that work for them. And yes, this device flattens dynamics and sucks some tone (especially on the more extreme patches) -- but that's just the nature of effects in general. My advice is, stick with subtle, and save the wacky stuff for one or two standout passages.

No power supply included. Purchased separately. The best feature, in my opinion, is the editing interface, which is common to many Digitech multieffect devices. Easy to change (even on a dark stage 2 minutes before show time), once you understand the parameter matrix concept. More than enough slots for user-edit patches.

I have no problems coaxing good tones out of this unit. Your mileage may vary, and depends on your willingness to edit your own patches. The expression pedal takes some getting used to -- I use mine strictly for volume now, although I like the idea of using it to control triggering sensitivity for certain patches (like autowah). The tuner works reasonably well, but I rarely use it.

Sturdy, solid, should last me a while. No backup -- without it, I could still get through a gig (although it might not be quite as much fun). Generally, construction quality is good.

Plenty of features for the price. And in my case, it may save me some medical costs associated with hauling a giant pedalboard around, ha ha.

No dealings with Digitech support. Perhaps that tells you something.

Cosmetics are so-so. But on the floor of a dark stage or dim tavern, who cares?

Some interesting sounds."Fretless bass" sound disappointing. "B-Stock" unit did not work, new unit does work fine - I am sure I will find some interesting use for this versatile device.

As with many bass processors, this has a lot of features that are seemingly just carried over from guitar units - speaker cabinet modeling is pretty good, I'm going to need some time to develop my own settings for this to be really useful, however. At ther price, it was worth getting just to play with.

Presets aren't that great, but there are a lot of possibilities here.

Well made, sturdy. After two bad experiences ordering "B-Stock" equipment, I'd say only buy brand new stuff online. Otherwise, shop at your local independent music store for used or demo equipment.

Good value.

Excellent support, thank you.

Just something to play with, see what I can do with it.

I use it mainly for the tuner and volume pedal. I was dissapointed with the chorus, it is too shallow. the delay is great. I edited two presets to give me a "solo" setting by adding more mids and highs and a little delay. the case is well built and solid. I do not use the amp or cab settings because they interfere with the EQ on my HARTKE 4000 head. Anyone who has a small amp or a practice amp might find these settings very usefull for geting a fuller sound out of what they are using. I have had SEVERAL occasions when the unit cut out and once the tuner froze up. My dealer said the problem was with the power supply, time will tell.

delay is good, wah is lame. chorus is shallow,octave divider is pretty good. Tuner can be a little jumpy untill you get used to it. Just hit the string ONCE with a good stroke, judge the reference about 1 second after you hit it.

it is pretty solid. It has FAILED several times since I bought it,the dealer replaced the power pack and assured me that was the problem. (time will tell). I will not TRUST it for about another 3 to 6 months.

I think it is a little overpriced. its worth about a hundred bucks in my opinion.

the local dealer quickly helped me when the unit froze up. have not contacted them myself.

I bought it because I needed a volume pedal and tuner. Seperately I would have paid about $ 60 for the ernie ball pedal and about 150 for a rack tuner. so I opted for this toy. looks and apperance had no influence on my decision.

The sound is amazing.

Confusing at first but it gets easier everytime

I bought this b-stock and it looks and works like new. I could not tell the differnce.

Yes.

The color is a weird blue color unlike the sliver picture shown online.

most of the effects have a very muffled sound to them so you have to set everything just right to get it to go away.

most of the effects sound the same

It is the best bang for your buck@

It looks so great in pictures but it looks even better in the box

wah pedal gets harder to press after a while, and one of the buttons doesnt click anymore

150 bucks may be a bit expensive, but its worth it

I have owned this pedal for almost 10 years. The sounds are just lame. Many of the presets outputs are at different levels, which makes it useless for live playing - you switch from one preset to another and your volume can vary by 50%.

Should come with a power supply. Making your own patches is quite difficult.

I have given up on using this - bought a Korg AX3000B which is light years better and easier to use to boot, although it is about four times as big - and it came with a power supply.

After a couple of months I noticed a rattling coming from inside the case - opened it up and one of the screws holding the PC board had come loose and was rattling around in the case - ridiculous. Re-installed all the screws with Lok-Tite

Buy separate effects - the Boss ones are quite good, and the Behringers are an amazing deal. Or get a better multi-effects pedal.

Haven't used it.

I haven't used this in years. I really should put it on eBay.

some of the sounds are quite good but you have to do some fiddling to get them really nice. alot of them sound like guitar effects which was quite dissapointing cause they dont suit the bass. i thought they could have done better

the wah i liked but i was a little dissapointed with the fretless simulator, the reverb and amp models are also really good. shame you cant jump effects tho, and the scroll it to fast to stop with any accuracy. the tuner is also really jumpy and can be quite aggrovating when tuning in a hurry. there are also alot of gimicky effects ull never use in a band

good for a multi effects pedal the fact that it is metal is also good cause you know it wont break. the expression pedal can creak sometimes which makes solos sound....wierd

dont know i bought it in the US and i live in Australia so i dont think ill b using this bit

looks pretty cool but doesn't have the sex appeal of having 5 or 6 pedals at your feet
