    Default Digital Pedal or Box

    I am looking to buy a new digital pedal/box. I want something that can be connect to the computer via USB. Normally the digital units do not come with good presets, so being able to download from the internet is preferred or tweak others that are good. I want to be able to move the digital unit from room to room with minimum setup. I also would like to have one with some descent volume when using a head set. Does anybody have suggestions?
    Guitars:

    Electric: Washburn HB-30, Squier Tele Custom Deluxe, Jay Turser Strat.
    Acoustic: Seagull S6.

    AMPs: VOX AD30VT, Peavey Envoy 110.

    Modelers: V-AMP 2, Digitech RP-100A.

    Pedals: Boss RC-2 Loop Station, Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, Digitech Bad Monkey, Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo, DOD VFX40B 7-Band Graphic EQ, Ibanez CS-5 Super Chorus.

    Does anyone have experience with the Zoom G2 1.u ?

    http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/g21u/

    I had the G2 for a short while before I got my Tonelab. I didn't have the chops to really put it through its paces (not that I do now).

    Yep, I've got one. Works well, 40 presets + 40 user made patches, USB port. Only downside is you can't disable an effect while you're playing, you can only change the patch.

    There is no USB or amp models though.

    Ok, so re-reading Tim's post, what about the Pod series? Line 6 has tons of great patches on line, and lots of great cab models etc. Plus the Pods you can take with you and use your patches wherever you are, right?

    Default RP 350 digitech

    I have an RP 350 and it is great. The price has come way down on them probably because of the new RP 500.

    The usb part works fantastic and it has xlr and quarter inch output jacks to go to your amp or PA, selectable. It is an awesome pedal. I'm sure there are better ones but this is the best one I have right now.

    I have a zoom G2.1u that I like alot. I find the effects more useful than the modeling, I don't use the modelling much at all but mainly use it as a delay/chorus/flanger. You can't use the usb to edit the patches though so I'm not sure it really suits your needs.

    For ultra portability the line6 pocket pod might fulfil your requirements. There's a large online patch database, you can edit patches via usb and it fits on a gig bag.

    I'd agree with Warren and Duffy. I have the Digitech RP-250. The usb works slick on the computer, X-Edit is way faster and easier than tweaking knobs to get the sound you want, plus you can save it to file to use anytime you need it. The website has lots of user-built presets you can download, the built-in drummer's not too bad, and the drum and preset volumes are independent of each other. You can find a drum pattern you like, set the bpm to a speed you like, adjust the drum volume, then jump to your preset guitar sound and start playin'.
    I had a P.O.D., but it was the one w/o usb. The sounds were great on it also, but I honestly don't think any better than the Digitech.
