It's always difficult to emulate a "real" instrument with an electronic one.  In this case, it works very well.  Tubas huff and puff, and a decent player can capture that sound without a lot of work once the tone is set up properly on the Digitech.

Octave doublers, up or down or both, work very well with harp.  Like I said before, it's the effect that made up my mind the first time I tried an RP200 in a store.
