Hi there Richard,
  Are you aware that Digitech's GNX and current GenetX series are based on
the same technology of Johnson Amps J-Station?   
  A definite step above the RP series.  The J-Station came out within
months of Line6's POD. Line6's POD series (even today) only use 16 bit
audio, where as the J-Station had 16 bit processing.  Digitech bought the
technology and have used it in their discontinued Genisis series and later
incorporated into their GeNetX? technology used for the GNX series.
  I was curious to hear from pro harp players who've used this.  All the
statistics don't give any indication of how good they work and sound.
