With 11 amp models, 20 effects, 40 user presets, a drum machine, chromatic tuner and more, the Digitech RP55 pedal is an unbelievable value.

Introducing the RP55. Equipped with 11 Amp Models and 20 Studio Quality Effects, up to 8 effects can be used at once for unimagined tonal possibilities. The RP55 is the easiest RP product to use; just simply dial up your choice of amps and preset effects settings with no deep parameter settings. All settings come from the years of experience with the pros.

The RP55 uses the AudioDNA(TM) DSP chip to produce effects and amps that studio-class. Add 24-bit A/D/A conversion so that no frequency response is lost between inputs and outputs. Also included is a drum machine with 30 patterns and an easy-to-use 13-LED chromatic tuner.

Whether you're just starting in your quest for tone or need many choices, the RP55 fits your needs.

Money is tight so I don't see buying another pedal any time soon. For cluba & bars, its all i need.
Sound
I've been using all sorts of Digitech pedals over the years. I play 4 string bass but I have had great results using guitar pedals (I never use bass pedals, they don't fit my style) This pedal, like many other Digitech brand pedals) can give you great tone & sound if you just take the time to mess with the settings...I swear by this pedal & brand & i've been playing bass for over 20 years. Check out how it sounds on my music page & judge for yourself: http://www.reverbnation.com/alexcastel
Features
No power cord but I have extra cords that work just fine with it.
Ease of Use
Very easy to program tones to your liking...ie; don't like the distortion? then change it by pushing a few buttons, I did and now I have a WICKED bass-distortion tone!
Quality
Plastic BUT its thick plastic, holds up well for gigs as long you dont beat on it. Bright led readout is very helpful in dark clubs.
Value
10 on value. For the money you cant go wrong, nothing better in this price range that can do this much!
Manufacturer Support
Great support though I have not needed it in a couple of years.
The Wow Factor
I dig this little black box...nice design and rugged for being plastic..lots of helpful lights too!
