I "thought" this happened to me once. The patches are there, you just
wandered into another area of the RP300 and can't see them. Look at the
chart that should have come with your rp300. There are several areas of
its memory, where presets 1-xx are held (ones that can't be changed),
then another group of presets 1-xx (ones you can change), and so on. I
accidentally (or someone else was fooling with it) went into another
area, and when I got to preset "3" my patch wasn't there. Then I
realized later what was going on and after tapping the pedal enough
times I got into the right area and saw them all.

Subject: [Harp-L] Digitech Rp300 again
Hi all,
Ok, I bought it. A used RP300A. I've borrowed for some time a V-Amp to
use with my guitar, but, since its owner "strangely" wanted it back, I
decided to buy something with a more large harp player's user base, and
I found this RP300A. I played a little with it, and then I programmed
into it the patches by Richard Hunter and Chris Michalek. Great sounds,
I was very happy with them. Since my old V-Amp used to lose all my
settings between a power on and another, I've tried several times to
turn the effect on and off, and everything went fine (the patches were
still there). Last night I brought my new toy at a local jam, and, of
course, all the patches but one (?!?) were gone. Luckily I had some
other stuff with me and I played without the Digitech. Has something
like this happened to you, my fellow digitech owners? Is there a battery
inside, to keep the patches into memory? Do I have to open the panel
which touches the ground? I'm going to write to Digitech, too, but I was
curious to check if somebody else had this problem.
Thanks,
Claudio
