Feature:
Mine came with a power adaptor,which is great because you sdon't have to get and get batteries,thus saving you some cash,because this thing eats up batteries very quickly I might add.I use every feature on here except for the drum machine,which to me,isn't that good.

Quality:
As we all know,this un it has a plastic casing,whereas the other RP models have metal casings.I have read a lot of reviews where people were saying that the casing breaks very easily.Well guess what? If you don't stomp on it and take care of it,it'll last you a long time.Like I mentioned earlier,I've had mine since 2002,and not once had I had to worry about breaking the casing,because I baby my gear,and money doesn't grow on trees.

Value:
I originally paid $59.99 for mine,and now I see that they're going for $49.99.For the buck,this is the best effects processor out there,bar none.I would definately buy another one if I had to.I couldn't see myself without it.

Desirability:
Nothing spectacular about the look of this pedal.The only thing that's appealing is the fact that for the price,you can get a ton of effects and save some serious money on having to buy pedals.

Sound:
I cannot believe how many great tones I can get out of this little unit.I have used this in a live setting many of times and have had no problems with it at all.One of my favorites on here is the acoustic tone,along with the talk box effect that I can get.Simply put,this pedal rocks!

Ease of Use:
It's very easy to use.I bought mine brand new in 2002,and it only took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to set it up and program it.This pedal will make any type of amp sound great,no matter what it is.

Support:
Never had to contact them.

Overall:
I've had this for 6 years now,and it ain't going nowhere!

Feature:
I can't even begin to say. just buy it!

Quality:
It's plastic but It holds like a tank.

Value:
Good price i'd pay more.

Desirability:
Very pertty

Sound:
Very nice sound. The factory settings are pretty good but i encourage you to make your own. LISTEN TO ME NOW! If you have any other pedals in your pedal bord you must put this one as the first one comming out of your guitar or the bypass will sound like crap!

Ease of Use:
Really nice, if i'm in by bare feet, i can still fool with the setings.

Overall:
I just love this processor. I will never get rid of it.

Feature:
it has a built in beat system to add a drum background sound to your playing it also has a tuner i like. it really has a great selection of opitions for a very little price.

Quality:
i am a bull in a china shop and it`s still standing so i think that says enough.

Value:
it is worth the price

Desirability:
I loved the look and feel of this little jem.

Sound:
I am A novice player and it makes me sound as if I have been playing for years I LOVE IT!!!

Ease of Use:
like i stated i am a novice and find it very user friendly to adjust

Support:
have`nt had to deal with the company so i can not answer this question.

Overall:

Feature:
I use a lot of features from this but I still don't know how to use everything on it. I had to go buy an adapter because this thing makes me waste my money on batteries. Uses 6, they last about half of a week until it goes all static-y and I have to run over to the amp before the static gets too loud. Ouch

Quality:
Wouldn't work too great if I dropped it.

Value:
I would pay more than the original price for this (I forgot what it was exactly, but that's what I was thinking when I saw the price).

Desirability:
Sex appeal? (Ohhh... shiny...) What does that have to do with a pedal? Well, knowing the features, it was something I wanted to buy.

Sound:
Well, I can pretty much get all of the different sounds I want. I use the default effect 29 without the echo or whatever it had on it.

Ease of Use:
Well, because the screen can only fit 2 characters on it, it gets a little tricky to use and I usually have to open up the manual to find out what the abbreviations mean, but it's worth it.

Support:
No service required for me.

Overall:
I have spent a great deal of time with this and I am satisfied! Go buy it now! OR ELSE

Feature:
Comes with power adapter. Batteries last along time. I got a Yamaha FC-7 volume pedal of course from Zzounds.com to go with this and it works great.

Quality:
Plastic But tough. Just don't throw it or jump on it. It's a fine piece of gear. Treat it with some respect.

Value:
The Best Effects Pedal for the Buck.

Desirability:
Smallest complete effects package available

Sound:
Great Sounds Go to Digitech.com and join RP-50 Webboard and there is an Entire Patch Library made up by RP-50 Guru's that is Totally Awesome. These guys have done the work for the rest of us. Go get the Patch Library. Most Excellent

Ease of Use:
Easy to operate. Takes some patience to load patches but you can load up a list of the Top forty of your choice from Patch library in a couple of hours for all 40. Great Tone Action.

Support:
Never Needed Any

Overall:
Pint Sized Stomper. I use it with a volume pedal and an Eq. Using an extra Compressor and distotion box on your favorite clean channels works good also to eliminate live mistakes and to really tweek in the Tone Action. Keep it Simple Stupid!!

Feature:
the features are absolutely amazing for the price. B-stock for 40 bucks?! you get like 11 amp models with full gain conrol with a bunch of other effects. Don't forget a tuner.

Quality:
it is made out of plastic but just don't be too ruff on it and it'll be good.

Value:
amazing value. next thing I'm getting is the rp-350.

Desirability:
pretty good. maybe a little nerdy looking.

Sound:
the sound is great. it's quite advanced.

Ease of Use:
they give you like 70 presets which is hwat i used before i knew how to actually tweak it to get my own sound. when I did decide to learn i found that it wasn't hard at all.

Support:
haven't dealt

Overall:
it's great. the one thing i don't quite like is that it makes it hard to get feedback. which for me is a bad thing but not a big deal. you might like that better.

Feature:
It has more than you could possibly use. Take a look at the Digitech website and manual, you'll see.

Quality:
I bought a B-stock. I've only had it a few weeks and it hasn't destructed yet. If plastic keeps the cost down then fine with me.

Value:
Incredible value. $40. Think about what players had to pay in the past tio get all these sounds. Sure the pedals were metal, but it cost an arm and a leg. Think of all the junk $40 buys today. This is not junk.

Desirability:
I don't care how it looks, only how it sounds.

Sound:
I sounds fine. I have a Zoom G1 and they both are pretty much the same sounding. I just play it out of a solid state 10 Watt amp and it is more than good. You can't just judge it on the presets. You have to make your own sound. No guarantee that it will make the sound you want, music is subjective, but you'll get close

Ease of Use:
I haven't created any patches yet but it doesn't appear to be that difficult. I'll follow the manual.

Support:
Haven't needed it yet

Overall:
I have no idea what equipment a professional uses or how such equipment would be set up. I can't imagine a pro buying a b-stock for $40. If you're not a pro, what I got for $40 is incredible. Playing guitar becomes a blast. It makes you want to be creative. Go ahead and buy other pedals for enjoyment but this is sufficient for most players. $40 for all that you get. Outstanding!!!!

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
Strong features, able to tweak the various factory settings to meet your specific needs. One negative noted is that the drum machine doesn't work when in "bypass" mode. Need to either create "bypass" preset or allow drums to work in "bypass"

Quality:
New use. Seems rugged.

Value:
A good all-around product for the price. Selected this product because of good price to practicality issue.

Desirability:
Not sure how sex appeal equates with a pedal, however, it is a very practical addition to my deployed military setup.

Sound:
Adapts well to achieve the various sounds used/needed in contemporary Christian worship services.

Support:
Not needed, yet.

Overall:
Works well for a deployed military guy playing contemp Christian in the middle of Kuwait...

Feature:
I like the fact that it came with a power cord.

Quality:
Only had it for a month, but so far so good. I am concerned about the outer shell being plastic, but I'm not kicking the crap out of it anyway.

Value:
Next closest for this price is the Zoom. This one's got the drum machine and is $10 cheaper. The drum machine pushed me towards this one, even though the drums aren't the best.

Desirability:
I wanted a cheap processor to try out. I like it and will definitely be moving up to bigger and better models.

Sound:
Cool sounds! Extreme delay effects, wide range of the best effects out there!

Support:
Haven't needed it yet.

Overall:
I'll use it until I'm ready to upgrade. Great entry level effects processor (or whatever it's called).
