Digital Pedal or Box

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?

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.

hey duff....do you use the x-edit software? if not i highly recommend you download it (for free) from the digitech website! :

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.

I downloaded the X-Edit software, I forget why, but I needed it for something like hooking up to my Lexicon Omega, or something. I think I had to update the software to the most current version. Yeah that was it and that was like a year ago. I wonder if there is a newer version of the software, internal software to the pedal itself.

I really should get into some recording because my playing has progressed to the point that I can share some decent clips.

I should learn some of the additional aspects like the Xedit and the stuff on the Sony Acid recording program that I like better than the Cubase LT.

hey duff....i had to update the firmware on my rp250....i think there are instructions on the digitech website on how to check the firmware version of your pedal...if it needs to be updated you just download thye software to your computer and run the update with your pedal attached via usb....really simple....
