I've got to throw my .02 in here, I'm afraid. I've had terrible results 
with 
DigiTech equipment (guitar processors) for three reasons:
1    The basic pedal activation design is inherently flawed and certain to 
fail over time (foot switch compresses a rubber square that then depresses 
the switch on the circuit board). Rubber compresses and then hardens after 
time and doesn't bounce back anymore..
2    As far as the RP series goes, the pedals are so tiny and close 
together 
that you need to turn your foot on its edge to avoid hitting adjacent 
pedals.
3    Ridiculously long dropouts when switching between patches. Absolutely 
unacceptable for live performances.

For those reasons alone (and there are several more) I would never invest 
in 
another DT product again until I was certain that these issues were fully 
addressed.
