Congrats on getting it going Warren.. look forward to some clips..
Really enjoy that OLDGUY and his 250...
well i played around with my digitech rp250 this morning for the first time....i haven't actually read (or even looked at the manual yet) but i am definitely going to keep it!
I think it is just the ticket for practicing here in my townhouse. Found some cool sounds (by accident) as i haven't read up on it yet. I also hooked up my mac laptop to the auxiliary in (a feature i wouldn't want to do without) and played along to a couple of backing tracks from cd (at some point i will probably move all my backing tracks to an ipod to hook to the rp)....i also enjoyed the drum feature and dialed in a groove that i could play along to (practicing those scales up and down the neck).
not a very in depth report but i haven't really gotten to deep into the rp yet but i know i am enjoying it! :

Another rookie question - is this the same as a Boss ME-50 as far as what it does? I'm not referring to one being better than the other, just curious if they accomplish the same thing?
If they are I will widen my search so that I am not limited to the ME-50.
Warren, sorry for the hijack or at the very least, side track.

Thanks, Justa.Originally Posted by Justaguyin_nc
Warren, I've liked mine ever since I got it. Never had a problem with it yet.
Glad you're enjoying it. I also like the drum patterns....much nicer than a metronome.
I won't say you should read the manual......but.......I downloaded the link to change parameters online, and it's awesome cool and easy, plus you can store the presets, name 'em, keep 'em on file till you need them, etc. Pretty handy.
And WAY quicker than tweaking those knobs on the unit.

Warren,
Yep, it appears to be basically the same thing at least to this rookies eyes. Be interested in hearing more from you as you get more familiar to it. I'll have to check here to see if there are more threads on the subject.

* Loud is good, good is better!
yeah...it's definitely gonna take some time to figure everything out but i am impressed with it so far!
It's just nice to be able to play through this with headphones so i don't disturb anyone and really like the audio in so i can play to backing tracks.
i haven't played it through any of my amps yet but did at my friends music store and it sounded pretty good through an amp too.....definitely good enough for a strictly home player like myself!
i'm sure the boss would be just as good!...the main thing is to have fun with it!

What is the casing on the RP's - plastic or metal? I cannot find anything regarding the materials used.
found the answer: "Durable die-cast chassis"
