Jeffery,

I guess you're new to the list...  Anyway, I post here frequently about the RP355.  I make sets of pre-configured sounds, called "patches," for the Digitech RP series of devices.  You can find out more about my patch sets, and hear samples recorded with those patches, at:

I've been performing with the RP355 for over two years, most recently with The Committee, a San Diego based blues band, on Tuesday night, and it's a great tool for harp players.

Regards, Richard Hunter
