I have a Fender Frontman 25R amp, and i can get a lot of good sounds from the RP350. I have only 2 years of experience in guitar playing, so the sounds suit me just fine. The effects are various, and can be customized in many different ways, and they sound good. Distorsions, Amp Models and Wah sound great to me. I still haven't tried everything on it, and i have it about 2 months by now, and for now, i have only the best words for its options. I recorded some things over the USB cable, and it sound very good.

The most useful features, as for me, are the options to record things to a computer using a USB cable (this is perfect for me, because i have some retarded board that doesn't recognize the guitar when i plug it in the sound card), and the X-Edit program is just great and very easy to use. And of course, there is the V switch that allows you to activate the Wah-Wah effect any time you want, it's VERY useful. There is a stereo output system, and it has some more outputs, i'm not quite sure what they are for... :)

There are knobs, you turn them, and get many sounds. What's more easier than that? When you want to customize it more, there are 2 buttons (up and down), one pressable knob and more knobs to adjust the sound that is perfect for you. Even if that's not easy enough, there is the X-Edit which is super easy to use, no problems at all.

Knobs are very turnable, no problems there, the pedal is big enough for my foot, it's not loose, not too tight, it's just like it needs to be. It's made out of some metal, not sure which exactly, and it seems quite endurable.

In my opinion, it is definitely worth the money.

Didn't do anything about this, yet :)

It looks nice, has nice features, has that extra DNA chips and everything, it looks... Attractive :)

Some of the effects are a little over the top, but the ease of use and tweakability are top notch, and the sounds are excellent.

Wish it had a plain-jane metronome to go along with the backing tracks, but otherwise it has it all.

Excellent.

It's metal, other than that is it still newish, can't say about durability.

You can't beat it at this price. I snapped one up.

Lot's of patches, software, and firmware updates on Digitech's site. It's an "old-stock" product, but still supported, which says good things about Digitech.

There are newer and sexier products, but this is still way above entry-level for multi-effects pedals.

After a tweek on the presets it's teriffic.

It's got it all.

No brand is flawless here. But this one ain't bad.

Like a tank.

The DigiTech RP350 and the Rocktron Utopia are currently the best out there.

Had questions and they were answered right away.

A must have.

See the features section. They all, for the most part, sound good. Thats all that needs to be said.

I try not to give out 10s much, but this pedal just deserves on the features area. Heres the idea. There are seventy factory presets and seventy user presets. Thats 140 effects combos. Then add thirty sound chains and thirty effects chains that can be combined w/ each other in NINE HUNDRED ways with the twist of two knobs. So 900 effects/sound chains + 70 factory settings + 70 user settings = 1040 overall combinations of effects. And that is without any true fine tuning whatsover. When you get to fine tuning, then the effect combos are literally ENDLESS.

With 1040 settings without any fine tunings, it can be easy finding your sound. Fine tuning can be time-comsuming, but once you get the hang of it, its easy. My recommendation is get the X-Edit computer software. That just makes it quicker.

Its basically made of all metal, but I havent had it for too long, so Ill give it an 8 by default.

Its $200 for about infinite FX settings. Wow. Its worth it.

I tried to e-mail them because my X-Edit was causing problems, and they gave me an answer very quickly. So Ill give them a 9.

OK. Its not so sexy, but who cares? Youll get the chicks through some of the sounds you get through this thing.

This is a great unit to own. The best that I have ever had. The sound that it puts out is fantastic and has enough voices on it to fit my needs. I was wanting a unit that had a good selection of voices that would help me play different styles of music. The 350 has done this for me. At this time, I am running it through a small epiphone guitar amp.The results are great!!

So far this unit has everything that I need

It does take some getting used to but once you spend enough time with it, the magic begins to happen.

For what I need, this product is made well and should be with me for years to come.

Amazing value for what you get. I priced it at one of the local music stores and I wold have paid over one hundred bucks more.

Have not yet had to contact support.

Very sexy!!I like the looks of it.

The Amp Modeling Is Dead On, which allows individuals with limited financial resources to experiment with guitar tones of the greats, inclucing VanHalen, Eric Johnson, Satriani, Vai, and SRV. Balanced Stereo and XLR connections provide easy connectivity to any live situation. The FX chain provides creative guitarists a wide range of tones to experiment with.

The X-Edit software is easy to download from DigiTech. Also downloadable are new firmware updates and the USB drivers are ASIO compliant and I get no recording lag using the USB on my RP350. A/B Switch Pedal allows switching from a Hot Lead Amp Model to a Clean Amp model, just like the pro's. I would say the display is a bit lacking in size forcing creative patch naming.

Considering the complexity of such a device DigiTech has come up with a solid ease of use device. Editing is not too difficult if you take the time to read the manual. Factory reset is explained in the manual despite what a previous reviewer stated. Stepping through the pedal level editing process is intuitive and logical. A plus side is the ability to edit patches with the X-Edit software. No freezing up of the device or the computer. No need for Factory resets and the software is easy to download.

It definitely has the GIG Stompable quality a performer wants on stage. The Expression pedal pre-programmed as a volume control can be programmed to control any of the numerous expression settings of the FX. Expression pedal casing are high quality metal and built to live a long life. A V-Switch on the Expression pedal alows individual to turn on WAH FX or any number of other availble FX settings.

Compaired to the Zoom and Line6 products the RP350 meets and beats them with more features and capability. DigiTech didn't waste a dime researching and developing the AudioDNA chipset and the tone quality and model matching is dead on.

I have not had to deal directly with the company. However, the company provides a user community forum that is very active and supportive. Users are posting patches, songs, and messages daily. the RP350 is for the creative guitarist who not only wants to be able to properly cover a famous song, but also wants to find his/her own tone.

Sleak Silver and Black are colors that can never go wrong on stage. Small and hidable yet eye catching.

Just like any other multi-effects. Lot's of sounds.

Came with powercord. No manual. Had to download it off internet.

If you can press a button and turn a knob, it's easy to master in seconds.

Headphone jack went out before even two hours of use.

I wouldn't buy another one. I can get the same effects with my amp head.

Fast to reply. Repairs are costly.

Looks like any other cheap multi-effect's. Not made for a true working stage musician at all!

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she just loves it. I think it sounds really good. She thinks it sounds awesome!! She asked for the RP300 but they are no longer being made so I purchased the RP350 and she said that it sounds better than her friends RP300. Fast shipping too by the way.

Ive had it for almost a year, and use it every day, and i havent even used all the features yet. there are so many sounds, i never play my guitar without the rp350 or else i get bored.

70 preloaded sounds, and room to make 70 more, what else do you need, you can't even imagine how many sounds you can make with all the effect you can tie into the pedal alone. it also has all the input output ports you need for anything. i actually once used it to connect my computer to my school's PA system so we could play music during a rally.

when i bought this, i didn't really know what i was doing when it came to foot pedals, but the layout is clean and easy to understand, im glad i chose this pedal.

sturdy, tough, long lasting. nothing has ever broken after a year of pretty tough use.

200 dollars for the best pedal i could find, its a totally sweet deal.

the warranty saved me when it froze this one time after i hooked it up to my computer and screwed around with it. i sent it in and they sent it back in a timely fashion, no charge.

its sleek, with its thin design, bright display, and easy foot buttons.

The AudioDNA2 chip on the new RP series is a definite winner. I can get some great tones that are quite authentic, and tough to tell apart from the real things at times.

For $199 you can't expect more. Sure a few more models of some more effects would be great, but the RP350 has most of the decent ones covered, and they are modeled very well.

Very simple to use. Manual editing of patches and settings via knobs is quick and intuitive. With the software and USB interface, it is child's play! The interface blows the PodXT out of the water for ease of use.

Seems sturdy. Better built than my old RP80!

A+++ Coming from a PodXT (which I wasn't too keen on) I was very surprised at what the Rp350 could do. In fact, I first bought an RP250, and now the RP350. The RP250 is great. The RP350 is even better. My PodXT is now sold to some unfortunate person. I guess I should have told them about the RP250/350 LOL.

Dunno yet

Good solid unit.

Great Sound. Almost all the presets are useful. Like any new toy ti will take some time to master but within minutes and a few pedal presses the machine kept me at my guitar all weekend just enjoying the stock prgrams

I bought this pedal so i can just plug and play. IT does that More features for me to ponder later.

Manual is clear. This pedal is not over kill but it does what I bought it for. Nice tones in a neat package and it works.

Too soon to tell but 9 for now, i am a skeptic.

Good bang for buck

Never had to deal with that yet

Comparisons to things like the Line 6 Pod XT Live are expected. I own both. I purchased the RP350 as my "emergency backup" unit. I planned on buying the RP250, but the XLR outs convinced me to spend the xtra $$. Amp and cabinet models are overall more authentic on the Pod, but not by a lot. The RP350 models are excellent, and sound quite good. I find the FX models on the R350 to be better, especially the chorus effects, which are much more "lush" and "smooth" than those found on the Pod. The Whammy and Pitch Bend effects are quite a bit better than those on my Pod.

The presence of both 1/4" AND XLR outs, with switchable amp/mixer weighting on each, should be on EVERY product like this.

Dead simple. If you can't figure out "turn knob A to select an amp/cabinet combination" and "then turn knob B to select an effects setup" ... you need to just give it up. You can get lots of different tones this way, and many people need never dig further. The indepth editing is pretty easy as well, and the USB interface and software make "tweaky" editing a joy.

Very good ... excellent for a product in this price range. Metal where it needs it, and tough plastic where it doesn't need metal. Cheap plastic knobs, but they're recessed and unlikely to be mangled.

It's $199 @ zzounds ... what else do you need to know?

My questions about USB support were answered directly and accurately.

It's not a sexy looking beast, buut it looks good enough and does what I need.

This model comes with many presets, in many different playing styles. There's sure to be something to fit your playing, and if there isn't then you can just make your own. It sounds absolutly incredible with headphones on (cheap, $20 sony ones), which I use much more than my amp. It makes crystal clear sounds, and I don't have any buzz or background noise, it's completely clear.

Tons of customization, with computer recording and editing programs, good stuff.

I learned how to use it very quickly, common sense and a few knob turns is all it needs, but the manual is needed for certain instructions, such as how to perform factory reset, ect.

It's digitech, very good quality, and durable as hell.

EXTREME value, think of the cost it would need for all those effects, and amps!

Never had to deal with them.

I'll always have this, and buy another if i lose it.

Speed, shred, and melodious clean tones.

If this unit delivered the goods promised, I might rate this higher. As it is I give this only a "1" out of "10" because this unit quit working after less than two hours of use when I was attempting to edit the patches.

Digitech promises a lot but delivers nothing. This unit promises the ability to edit patches on a PC or Mac and then allow the user the capability to download the edited patches to the unit from the computer. The editing software is not included in the package--it has to be downloaded from Digitech's website. Logging in to download the software is no easy task in and of itself. The owner's manual provides no instructions for restoring factory default settings.

If this unit worked as designed it would rate a "10" for ease of use. Since it shot craps after less than an hour, "freezing" in the middle of attempting to edit a patch, I have to rate this a "1"--and that is only because this site does not allow a negative score.

This is a totally unreliable unit. Since it died after only an hour of use, I cannot consider this to be a high quality unit.

I had dumped an Alesis GuitarFX for this. Now I wish I had kept the Alesis and saved my money. This product is a total POS--to be avoided at all costs. What would I pay for this? That's absurd--Digitech should pay people to use these!

I have sent a couple of e-mails to Digitech to see if there was a something overlooked in the owner's manual which would remedy the problems. That was three days ago and Digitech has not responded. Not only are their employees stupid--they appear to be lazy and inconsiderate as well.

Unfortunately, this is packaged with a lot of visual appeal. But all the pretty packaging cannot make up for the fact that this is worthless except as a paperweight.
