I've published four patches for the RP200, using diffferent amp models
and effects, to my website at:
http://hunterharp.com/effectset.html

These patches are, if I may so, excellent stuff, suitable for a wide
range of blues and rock.  The Blackface patch is a dead ringer for Taj
Mahal's harp sound circa 1970, for example.  I have won ovations on at
least two occasions with the auto-wah patch -- audiences can't quite
believe their ears when that thing kicks in.  These patches are also a
good basis for further experimentation -- just take the basic amp model,
cabinet model, and EQ settings, strip off the other effects, and start
playing around.  

Hundreds of patches can be found at Digitech's web site (digitech.com);
they maintain an extensive downloadable library of patches there.  Some
work very well right away for harmonica.  The ones that use high-gain
amp models tend to need a lot of work to get them to work with a
microphone.

Any patch might need to have its EQ adjusted to sound best with your
mic.  In general, I recommend that if you decide to use an RP or other
amp modeler, choose one mic to use with the unit, and stick with it.

Other than the above, it took me over 50 hours of work to develop a set
of 40 patches that range from very good to excellent in quality, and I'm
not giving them all away.  I've considered selling those 40 patches as a
set for a modest price.  If you're interested, let me know. 

Thanks and regards,
