Feature:
For the money, I am amazed at all the features. Tuner, Drum machine, Chorus, Reverb, Octave, Noise Gate, Compressor, Sitar, etc, etc, etc... The Expression Pedal - this thing is too small for any normal-sized foot, but I think it is worth the money even without this, so I am not going to lower the rating.

Quality:
It is made of heavy plastic. I'm not really surprised considering how inexpensive the price is. It seems sturdy enough. Anecdotal evidence from other reviewers seems to indicate it can withstand gig use...

Value:
This would have been a great deal at a hundred bucks. I love this thing, it has made my electric guitar much more fun to play, and gave a beginner guitarist tons of effects to play with.

Desirability:
This was purely a practical addition, the device actually LOOKS kind of hokey and cheap compared to the heavy-duty, professional-looking BOSS brand gear.

Sound:
I am a beginner guitarist, and let me tell you, this is the best money I ever spent. It makes my cheap Fender Frontman 15W amp and Epiphone Special SG sound incredible compared to directly plugging into the amp. I used to avoid the electric guitar for any playing except distorted, but that has all changed now! The best part of buying this product, aside from it being the equivalent of a dozen pedals or so, is the noisegate. No more blasted hum!!!

Ease of Use:
Could have used it without a manual, but it is simple to operate after reading the manual, although programming is tedious.

Overall:
I think this will be my effect pedal for the next few years as I learn guitar.

Feature:
Everything you need is in the box, except for te guitar of course. Power supply is included, and the instructions are easy to read and follow.

Quality:
The build quality is perfect. I only have one gripe. The expression pedal is a hair to close to the up down buttons. It is very easy to bump the up button while going to town on the expression pedal. Once you're conscious of it though, it is no problem.

Value:
Absolutely, hands-down, the best multi-effects for the money. Great sound, ease of use, easy editing, all for under $100.

Desirability:
I wanted this pedal as a practical addition to my guitar rig (which uses 6 different guitars and one Peavey half-stack. I'm primarily a rythym player, and I got tired of setting up a million different stomp boxes, connecting them together, etc. This pedal is everything I need, for both stage (in a band playing @150 dates per year) and in the studio.

Sound:
The sound of the effects in this unit are really good. Some of the effects are better than others, as is the case with all pedals. However, overall the effects and models are good, and easily editable to grab the sound you are looking for. Absolutely the best sound for the money on the market. It doesn't sound like a lexicon, but it doesn't cost $500 either.

Support:
Haven't had any problems with this pedal (only had it a week), but I have dealt with Digitech before and the support was top notch.

Overall:
I will keep this pedal till it dies. I see no use for anything more expensive or flashy, all the other stuff just gets in the way. Direct this pedal may hum a little, but recording direct, wouldn't you just use the studio's $2000 effects processors anyway? Overall I recommend this pedal to all guitarists looking for fabulous effects and still saving enough money to take one of the groupies out for dinner.

Feature:
The drum machine is a great way to create songs that i can really listen to. Also, with over 11 effects(9 of them can be played at the same time), you won't be able to put this thing away. easy to use and it truely makes a difference.

Quality:
Terrific Quality!!!

Value:
Great value, great price, great product!

Desirability:
I've been wanting this product for over a year!! But, with a thirteen year old's allowance, i can't really afford it. Thanks Mom!

Sound:
Listen, you are crazy if you don't pick this thing up. I, being a 13 year old guitar player, want a lot of options to mess around with to create my own sound. This sound is great. If you mix certain sounds together, you can make something that is truely unique. The sound in this product is absolutly what i needed.

Support:
i haven't had a problem yet

Overall:
Terrificly (<--- spelling?) awesome product, the sound is great, and the price is right, so this product is the best. Buy it if you want a great deal and great sound for the price.

Feature:
Too easy to use...they need to redesign it...make it a little harder to use so you can feel like you have done something when you program it. I will try to post some sound clips on the web and come back with a link soon...

Quality:
as i said it might break...or it just might not be breakable

Value:
VERY WELL WORTH the $80 bones

Sound:
I have read lots of reviews on this and the RP200 as well... most of what i read is true...It seems a LITTLE on the breakable side, but i dont mind going easy on it...But i also havent really tried to break it...it may be tougher that it looks... as far as the distortion sounds go...(and let me tell you...this hurts me to say this, me being a BOSS owner) i honestly think i get as good a sound from the RP80 as i do from the DS-1. noise...ya its kinda noisy but luckily my amp has a seperate gain and volume knob(as most tube amps do i suppose) so it pretty easy to control. here is my setup... Straight from my (only) guitar a Hamer SFX series (a cheaper line but plays good)into the RP80 and into my Pignose GV40 AMP(all tube with one 10" spkr) I think it sound great...

Feature:
My unit came with the ac adapter but I noticed some do not depending where you buy it. I got it with mine so i rate it a 9 :)

Quality:
The unit is all plastic but seems for far to be usuable in most applications however i wouldn't recommend such a small processor to be used on the road for any live gigs.

Value:
Worth every penny!!!

Desirability:
It's a nice and sharp looking unit.

Sound:
The unit overall is a 9 however in this price range there of course will be things it will lack. The gain for one isn't too bad however just a tad more would have helped it for heavier music such as old thrash and death metal. Some of the other effects i found distorted out a bit such as the phaser and needed to oddly turn the level in the unit down quite low to fix the tone. Bottomline is the price for the amount of effects and portabilty makes it worth the small price tag.

Support:
Not sure as of yet about this category but I'm hoping the service would be good.

Overall:
I use this unit for recording and online chat. That would be about the extent of what I would use it for.

A bit buzzy, but it's got great amp modeling.

Never needed it.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
The included power supply was definitely a plus. I don't really use the drum machine at all, but it does sound just fine. A bunch af amps and effects for this price; definitely worth it.

Quality:
It is made of plastic, but don't underestimate it's strength. It hasn't shown a scratch of even a noticiable mark and I dropped it and "stomped" on it.

Value:
The price of this can easily equal the price of one stomp box. Defifinitely worth the $$$, especially that it has the power supply included.

Sound:
Going through my amp, this thing sounds terrible. It's extremely muddy no matter what if I adjust my amp and/or this. Just using by itself however, it sounds very nice. The rectifier sound is awesome, especially when you scoop the mids. The fuzz sounds do sound mostly the same though.

Support:
I haven't had any problems, which is definitely good.

Overall:
If I did lose it or break it somehow, I probably wouldn't buy another one. I might look for a higher up model of one though. I usually don't use most of the effects either, because they just plain old get annoying after a while.

Feature:
No accesories cam with mine, although right after I bought mine, Digitech had a special offer. This has an astounding number of features for a pedal of this price.

Quality:
I have dropped it plenty of times and it still works perfectly.

Value:
Definitely

Desirability:
There's nothing really appealing if you were to just look at it.

Sound:
I don't really like the noise gate thing on this pedal because it can get very annoying, sometimes it won't let you make any noise.

Ease of Use:
It is easy to use with other stuff and there is a bit of hidden stuff that you really wouldn't be able to figure out if you hadn't read the instructions.

Support:
I haven't had to use it, but I bet it is good.

Overall:
For a good long while because I have been playing for only two years and it is just great, this is definitely perfect for a beginner who wants a lot for a little.

Feature:
For the price, this pedal is awesome. So many different posibilities that it is difficult to choose which sounds to fill the programmable banks. The drum tracks leave a bit to be desired, but for a low end pedal, this is not a problem.

Quality:
This thing is very well built for the price, however, it is not the highest quality out there. Almost everything on it that is going to get use is plastic. It is not made for touring by any means. Maybe gigging at local bars and clubs. Recording is probably not something you would use this pedal for either.

Value:
I would say that for the price, this is definitely a good buy. Especially for someone like me who is a weekend warrior of sorts. I play in my free time. I don't record, or record very little only for practice sake. If you are in a professional band, I would say, buy something else. You can get better pedals for sure. But for a person not in a pro band that is looking for something easy to use that has a decent sound at a great price, the pedal rocks.

Desirability:
It's average.

Sound:
Some sounds are a bit fuzzy, almost full of whitenoise. However, most of the effects are clear and sounds great. Probably not the greates for recording, but for club/bar gigs, it would definitely suffice.

Support:
Haven't had to use it.

Overall:
FOR THE PRICE, this is a great piece of equippment. I would definitely recommend it to any friends looking for a pedal to use in the manner I use it in.
