[Harp-L] American Musical Supply blowing out Digitech RPs

[Richard Hunter <turtlehill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

The latest American Musical Supply catalog says that they're selling B-Stock Digitech RP150s, 250s, and 350s at a substantial discount.  The 350s are going for under $130.  The 250s are selling for under $100.

The RP250 and RP350 are very similar to the newer RP255 and RP355.  In terms of sound quality, they're indistinguishable, at least to my ears.  The later models have a few more amp models and cab models, and a 20-second one-layer looper, which I tried once and did not like much compared to my dedicated loopers.  Otherwise, the 250/350 are the same devices as their more recent counterparts.

These devices are B-stock, but they're selling with the manufacturer's 1-year warranty, along with AMS's 45-day return policy.  To my mind that makes them a better deal by far than a used piece off eBay. It certainly reduces the risk of buying a b-stock piece.
 
My first choice for an RP device remains the RP355.  But if you've been holding back  on getting an RP in hopes of a deal, this might be it. I think the RP350 is an especially good deal, given that the $130 price is about $70 less than the price of a new RP355 for a piece of gear that's very similar.  (I should mention that AMS is also selling B-stock RP355s for less than $160.)  You can find them at:

You can of course hear lots of samples of the sounds I get from these devices at:

--where just about every one of the clips of my playing was done with an RP or two loaded with my patches.
