zZounds Gear Experts Say...
With over 30 effects and preset tones, this multi-effects processor is a workhorse of a pedal. You can use up to 11 effects at a time.

The RP Legacy Continues. DigiTech invented guitar multi-effects. They've satisfied more than a million RP owners. Now they've RE-redefined the product category with the most powerful guitar processors ever -- a totally new generation of modeling technology with awesome effects and amp models so rich they should carry a cholesterol warning.

RP150 Modeling Guitar Processor AudioDNA2 -- The power inside the pedal. USB connectivity for recording, preset editing/archiving/downloading and more.

With 400% more horsepower, no wonder the RP150 sounds so good. You're looking at the world's most advanced audio processor, the 'engine' that gives the new RP models so much more raw impact and subtle detail. Other manufacturers use general- purpose, off-the-shelf chips. But creating the best guitar tone requires a 100% specialized, optimized processor.

Being total audio processing fanatics, DigiTech's Chip Wizard engineers set out to create a super-processor specifically designed to power a whole new generation of effects and models. The design team worked for over 2 years, literally re-defining audio signal processing at the chip level. Then their Tone Guru engineers -- fresh from Production Modeling triumphs like the Jimi Hendrix Experience Artist Series pedal -- set to work taking adavantage of all this new raw processing power.

When you hear what AudioDNA2 does for the tone of the RP150 you'll agree it was all worth it.

Sound
I've gave up on rating things highly so don't ignore this because I've given it a 7. For 60 bucks it has 18 amp sims and 13 cab sims. A pickup sim (humbugging or single coil). 4 wah wahs. 2 compressors, 9 distortion pedals(including Ibanez TS-9 tube screamer,DOD 250 O/pre, Rat, Boss DS-1, digitech grunge, Boss metal zone, DOD Gonkulator. Arbiter Fuzz Face, EH Big Muff pi(e). Full EQ if using a USB Computer. An excellent noise gate(I'd buy this for this alone). Chorus/FX, Flanger, Phaser, Vibrato, Leslie sim, Tremolo, panner, envelop filter, AutoYa, Step filter, Pitch shift, Detune, Intelligent pitch shifting(If you read more want good quality harmonizing get something good cause this doesn't do a 1/1000th of what it says it will do only on the IPS and PS. 5 Delays digital to tape. 6 re-verbs. A set of drums with variables 0bpm 99bpm and lots different kits and metronome(very impressive for the price). 50 preset and 50 user defined preset.

Features
Did the product include accessories? No. What are the most useful features?Flexibility. What are the least useful features? The USB for my setup anyway. Are there any features you wish it had? Yeah a Eventide Harmonizer but I don't ask much, hee hee. All is good, really.

Ease of Use
All is great most especially the manual. Clear and concise. No learning curve, just hook up and play. 2 months in and I'm still trying to get great sounds from this product from this thing. That's not to say it doesn't have great sounds. I'm trying for perfection.
