[Harp-L] Digitech RP-50 etc.

Richard Hunter said:  I gather that you're using the RP50 primarily for FX,
not amp modeling?

Actually, my experience with the Digitech is ongoing.  My go to patch right
now is a combination of delay, reverb, compression, chorus and EQ.  I use a
clean tube amp model presuming I will get some of the benefits I would get
from a tube preamp.  I usually plug straight in to a PA system but
occasionally work through whatever amp is around that has a free channel.
This set up definitely fattens up the sound and gives me some to good
feedback control.  I have other amp models and patch sets programmed based
on a Blackface and a Classic Tweed but I am still experimenting and learning
to use them.

I am sure that you get a lot more control and for that matter a lot better
sound out of the larger models.  I have listened to your MP3's.  They are
amazing.  And, I have thought about going to a larger unit that has a built
in expression pedal.  But, I keep remembering that the little guy fits in my
small harp case with my mic and 18 harps.  And, there is something to be
said for traveling light.
