Digitech RP50
Earlier today my step sister's boyfriend came to the door with a digitech RP50 saying its a late christmas present from him and Tracy (they just got married like a week earlier) and so we went in my room and played with it for a bit.
now I've never been much of a multi-FX sorta guy but this thing has got some good stuff: I don't think I would play a gig with it but im definitely bringing it to band practice from now on

You young punks are probably harder on gear than us old catsbut don't be afraid to take your RP to a gig. I gigged an RP80 quite a bit before upgrading to the GNX3000 I use now. Even if you don't use the amp models, the reverbs, delays, modulation effects etc. are quite useable. Run in thru your effects loop - you'll like it!

They can do some killer high-gain stuff, but they're a little noisy, but real ballsy.

I got one a few months ago. Since I play blues almost exclusively, most of the presets aren't useful to me. Basically, I got it as a cheap way to get a bit of delay, reverb, and compression.
I did actually program a patch to use on Red House and used it in a live setting: lots of delay and fuzz. It sounded pretty good, I thought.
Other than that, I haven't used it out. I play mostly at jams and 2 pedals (I always bring an OD pedal) seems like overkill and would likely interfere with the scarce setup time you get.
However, we just moved to an apartment where I have to keep the noise down, and I can just plug headphones into the unit and practice, which is pretty sweet.

Give it a chance to catch a place in your live set up. Digitech stuff has a great aound quality and for sure there will be something that you could use in a live situation.

I must say I sure did the pitch shifter.
