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.
