DigiTech RP-350

The RP350 is very simple. I suppose that you should consider my perspective, though: I replaced a Boss GT-8 with the RP350. The GT-8 has features that few owners ever discover. It's deep. You could (and I did) read the manual several times and still not grok everything. The RP350 is really simple: nearly as simple as a digital alarm clock. The manual is thin and more than sufficient. You could probably figure out everything you need to know about the RP350 even if you never read the manual.

The stock patches cover a fairly wide range of sounds. As with any modeler, you probably won't like most of them. Fortunately it's really easy to tweak an existing patch or to create your own.

Some people make a lot of the fact that you need to hit two pedals at once to engage the tuner. This is not a big deal. You get used to it.

I play a pair of Koll DL Thinline guitars (one with humbuckers and a hard tail, the other with P-90s and a Bigsby). I pair one of these through the RP350 when I want to have some control over the tone and effects of my instrument. (Just as often, I'll play through a DI straight to board and let the sound guy worry about EQ and effects.) The RP350's built-in stereo DI is ideal for the kind of live performance situation that I most often play.

I use effects sparingly. I almost always have a hall reverb program. Sometimes I'll add a bit of chorus or echo. These effects all sound great. For just messing around, there are about 15 factory patches that I've collected into a contiguous set of user patches. These also sound fine.

There's no noise to worry about. From my perspective the RP350 has less self-noise than the Boss GT-8.

I don't try to copy sounds. I've been able to get usable sounds out of the RP350 with very little effort. The simplicity of the unit means that you don't get a huge variety or deep editing. I've found that this can limit my ability to get an amp model sounding and behaving exactly the way I'd like.

I've only had the RP350 for about seven months. So far there have been no issues of any kind.

Short of downloading the patch editor for my Mac, I've never had any dealings with the company. I don't expect to need support.

I play whatever comes to mind. No specific genre or artists. It's pretty much all improvisation. I use a lot of fingerpicking and voice leading.

I started playing many years ago, quit for about twenty years, and have been playing "seriously" for almost nine years since I started again.

My main gear consists of my two Koll guitars and a very small number of pedals and amps. Lately I've come to value simplicity, portability, and a really great clean sound. My gear choices reflect this.

The one thing that annoys me about the RP350 is proximity of the third stomp switch (A/B selector) to the expression pedal. It's quite easy to hit the A/B pedal by mistake when using the expression pedal. Like the "issue" with enaging the tuner, this is also something one can learn to deal with. Unlike the tuner issue, this is more likely to happen in the midst of a performance.

In closing I'd like to say that I had overlooked the Digitech RP line due to its relatively low cost, thinking that the lower cost must imply lower quality. I was mistaken.

for me .. the sound you want is a personal thing. the RP350 has a wide range of sounds. Editing for me was so easy. the FX u are editing has a LED by it so u cant go wrong. it wont be easy straight out of the box .. but once u get the hang of the functions its easy. i did read the manual when i got stuck. the firmware was recent.

ive just moved on to a 25.5ins scale Ibanez. my previous guitars are of a Les Paul type .. Washburns with fixed bridge and shorter scale. both my new Ibanez guitars have Humbuckers and single coils.
---
the gate i found a bit sharp .. but ok.the sound i was trying to get i couldnt.
i tried hard with one patch to get a fat clean tone .. with loads of sustain .. kinda bluesy i guess .. but i couldnt get it. no matter how much sustain i dialed in .. it just decayed too quickly.
in case someone argues this point .. in a live situation it mat be ok .. but i use the pedal in a studio enviroment. im not in any way slagging this RP350 off .. just saying its not right for me.
---
my unit did have mainly gritty distortion tones. they were really good .. and with the wah pedal were great .. powerfull sounding tones .. really brilliant for Thrash metal and the like .. perfect.
.. but it was the edgy-ness i was trying to break away from.
---
switching to the Clean acoustic tones without distortions .. one particular patch & my electric guitar sounded very convincing. on par with my electro acoustic id say.
i will give an 8 even though i couldnt get the tone i was looking for

no idea

no idea

ive never really been ito FX .. but do like a good sustain. just fancied the wah pedal and maybee something inspiring.
it had some interesting patches and new fx. in the past i had built my own tremelo and distortion boxes. very limited sounds. mind u they were Analog.
--
1999 i bought a Zoom 505 and its been working fine.it has NO pedal on it .. so i sometimes connect up a external pedal. but not very often.
its just a pain to wire it all up
in buying the RP350 i was hoping to shelve all my old junk and gain extra space. unfortunatly not. im still in search of THAT tone. i have 2 patches that i programed on my Zoom505 that is close to the tone i was after. ive read all the slaggin the 505 gets .. and even for me u can count the amount of good tones on one hand .. but ...
---
i cant run this pedal down. it has some different tones to the 505 but although useable hasnt really got the fat clean sustain i am after.
--
you know i think most manufactures have their own sound .. after all thats why we go for a certain brand .. in doing so it can make it harder to get a certain tone. (hence the need for one of these devices .. and more)
--
its quite large .. but i found it easy to edit & use .. PLUS you can NAME your settings ... no stupid numbers like on the Zoom .. and STILL numbers on the NEW zoom !!

Very easy to use

I use this with an Fender Strat American Std or a Hamer Duotone USA straight into the mixer(Yamaha EMX 2000 With 600 watts yorkville powered sub).Use some of factory presets that I tweeked .The unit is not noisy at all.All the presets that I use sound great.I play in a duo in wich we do all covers This unit allows me to get very close to the original sounds.

I use this unit 2 3 times a week without backup.No problem. Very sturdy.

Did not have to deal with customer support. Good point

I play all style from country to blues,rock,jazz etc...Been playin professionally for 27 years. I chose this for tha A/B setting. So easy to go from clean to solo sound. This unit does it all. Like the amps,effects and so easy to use.If it was lost or stolen would definitely get another one or maybe the RP 500'

OK, I had a hard time getting the sound that I was looking for. The distortions all seemed to have too much gain for me for rythm parts. I ended up putting all the distortions and amps at 1 or 2 and even then I couldn't get that nice light crunch that can be controlled by how hard you pick/strum.

Editing the patches was pretty easy for this type of multieffect unit. IT was easier than with my Zoom 505 but a little more difficult than with my old V-Amp II because the V-Amp has more knobs to work with.

The manual is fine.

I wasn't very impressed by the phrase trainer. I found it awkward to use. I did, however, like the onboard drums. Great for working on new ideas.

I tested this unit with an old Fender SuperStrat direct to PC through a M-Audio Fast Track USB sound interface. I was interested in using it exclusively for recording.

I had the chance to test the sound of this against a friend's Digitech Grunge pedal which I was seriously considering buying. I liked the Grunge pedal's sound more than the 350's Grunge setting even though they are both made by the same company. For me these digital multieffect units just never can match the old pedals. I don't know how or why but I always seem to like the sound of individual pedals more. The sound seems more "real". The other distortions on the 350 sounded OK but again did not stand out at all.

The pedal is quiet, no issues there. I was mainly interested in find ing good distortions but I did play around with the other effects a bit. The delay was REALLY cool. I got some great effects with it. The wah was OK but if you push the expression pedal too far you can accidentally turn the effect on or off. This happened to me a lot. The flanger and reverbs were decent but once again I prefer individual pedals.

I only had this unit for about 3 weeks but it felt really solid. I never had one single glitch. I would use it for a gig if I had a gig.

I did not deal with the company at all.

This unit was not what I was looking for. The sound quality is decent but really no better than my old Behringer V-Amp used with an ART valve preamp. I think for playing live it could be good since you have the A/B amp selector and the expression pedal. However, for home studio recording I think I will stick with my old setup which also includes Native Instrument's Guitar Rig 2 and maybe pick up a Grunge pedal some day.

I returned this before the 30 day trial period was over and I don't miss it.

Like I said, the delay really caught my attention. I thought about keeping it just for that.

I compared this unit with the Zoom G 2.1U, my Behringer V-Amp II and an old Zoom 505. I ended up returning the Zoom G 2.1U as well.

Overall, I think this is a good unit for people who want a decent set of effects at an affordable price. Since I already own a couple similar effects units I didn't find it necessary. However, if I were playing live or doing much playing outside my house I probably would have kept it.

Very Easy. Mainly I use to set it with my mac & X-Edit. So I can save the patch.
Fast editing wih knobs when on gig when small corrections are needed.

Very good quality, for my experience.
I hate effects, but playing I need a more versatile sound when playing with some female singers (alone or in a band). Often I play without amplifier, direct in the pa system and the two balanced output are a must.
Sometimes I must use other people amplifier so I can carry with me my tone with small adjustment.

Noise only with hight distorsion & compression. The noise gate kill the notes when set to hight level.

Only one year but non problems at all.

Non need, but I found all I need on website.

Direct connection to pa, with my Jazz box (Ibanzez Artore Af125) or my acoustic (Guild F4cehg), I've always found my tone. Good with my resophonic too.

With solid body and pa not so good, with amps (various Fender) I've foud a fantastic blues sound and smooth jazz / fusion sound. It sound better with my Fender solid state (Deluxe 90) rather my valve amps. Heavy distortion is not my way.

I use it as backup amplifier too.

Easy to use (if one can spell their name)
Editing patches is a breeze. See above.
The manual is well written in English and straight-forward. If one can read.

When recording, I prefer to use high quality head-phones straight from the unit, but I also use a Fender Blues Deluxe 40 watt tube amp when I want to make my ears bleed a bit. My axs of choice: Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster.

The unit is very clean sounding on most settings. It's digital, so you might expect that.

Effects are SUPERB, and certainly no shortage of them. Anyone who likes the 'Tube Screamer' or the '808' will find them also included.

With this unit, I imagine one can render almost any vintage, classic or modern guitar 'sound' one wishes. Hendrix, no problem. Eric Clapton, sure. Joe Satch? Definitely. AC/DC, u-huh. Bee Gees? Huh? Well, why not. A lot of famous artists signature sounds are already included in the factory presets library. You name 'em, you can get 'em with a little tweaking of the knobs.

The unit has ALL the best distortions, amp models, reverbs, etc. that were ever made. Emulations of the classics, and including DigiTechs own custom sounds.

All in all, it sounds great, with excellent stereo separation and deep, rich, complex textures. Through a mono guitar amplifier you get, well, mono sound. But it goes far beyond that.

DigiTech has been around for, what, a few years now? I think it's a fair estimate that the stuff they make is reliable. This is my first Digi-purchase, made with confidence as I did a little research on their products first. With the exception of a few, uh, mentally challenged individuals who may or may not be able to spell their names, I found the reviews to be largely positive, not just about this unit, but most DigiTech products.

I emailed DigiTech with several questions about their RP line and received a prompt, professional, and intelligent reply.

I have been playing around with a guitar for, like, thirty-seven and a half years.

The style of music I play varies from early rot-and-roll to later rot-and-roll, to contemporary blues and a little head-banger stuff (Who doesn't like to bang their head?) Perhaps some occasional Zappa, Ludwig Van and a tad of Glock and Spiel.

So didn't we all at least LOOK at other guitar FX processors in or near this price range? And weren't we fairly impressed by MOST of them as being decent quality? Well sure. But, as the brass tacks go, and since many of us like to, on rare occasions, get a huge value for our bucks, that pretty much leaves us with . . . DigiTechs RP 350!

There is one thing I wish it had, and I don't really know why it doesn't: a power switch. To turn it on you plug in the power supply. Maybe that's all it needs.

I don't really like the way it switches from the effects bank to bypass and tuner modes (which is accomplished by pressing two of the foot buttons simultaneously). Most often it zips through the effects library instead of going into bypass. It is a bit persnickety here, as it is not all that easy to hit both buttons precisely at the same time.

The RP 350 fairly oozes sonic delights and quitar-jammin' kick-butt with practically no rocket science degree necessary! Using high quality headphones or speakers, it sounds fantastic, with excellent stereo separation and deep, rich, complex textures. Through a mono guitar amplifier you get, well, mono sound. But it goes far beyond that.

Should I say I like this unit? Okay, I do, but what I mean to say here is, the RP 350 WAY exceeds any expectations I may have had prior to giving it a really good workout both with and without my computer and X-Edit software (that which allows one to create and save their own custom configurations from a computer-screen interface). I also discovered I could record AND play back THROUGH the RP to and from my audio software, just like an audio interface! I did not know it could do that.

Speaking of X-Edit, if you don't happen to dig creating your own custom sound/FX combinations, you can get a whole bunch of other peoples patches from the DigiTech website. Some are so good, you can't even believe it.

That said, I give the RP 350 an 11, even though the rating system here only goes to 10. Be fair to yourself and give one a try. DigiTech will get you where you want to be, I think.

well this is a serious no brainer if you can grasp the ideals of an extremely well thought out pedal board but with the inability to switch the individual effects on or off with your feet.you just need to skim through the small manual and play around with the pedal and it is a breeze and alot of fun and i cant seem to get a bad sound out of this unit even if i tried.

I am running it through the left and right inputs of a crate powerblock and then into a 4/12 crate cab that i wired stereo and this is where i discovered that this is by far the best sounding modeler that ive ever heard or used and on that note through this setup I have run the Pod xt,a digitech gnx3,a zoom g9 2tt,behringer v,amp2 and i found none of them to be convincing but the rp 350 truly sounds like a real concert live sounding amp or should i say many amps. as for the effects again the best ive heard,the lexicon reverbs are so lush its amazing,the wahs and theres 3 models to choose from sound and feel like a wah pedal should.the stomp boxes truly do what real stomp boxes should do.as for the amp models here again just plain sound like the real deal and not digital at all.how quiet is this unit dead silent even when playing death metal full rippin shred.even the pickup simulation does what they say it does which for me makes is real nice when using the acoustic simulator.you can turn a humbucker into a single coil for a convincing acoustic tone.really nice!and finally as for the other effects such as delays and modulation etc,well {here we go again} all seem to be consistant with everything else on this unit, it just seems like the guys at digitech were having one of those really great days when they conceived this pedal,in case you didnt notice, i really love my rp350.

it appears to be rock solid in a metal chassis,I truly hope it never fails.ive had it for about a year.shows no signs of any problems

called digitech once to find out when the release of the rp500 is going to happen and i didnt get put on hold once and actually got my answer from a real live human person in the tech department.

i like to play all kinds of rock based music from seventies to rippin shred.ive been playing on and off for about 25 years and i have all kinds of toys like zoom stuff, a gnx3. a crate vintage club 50.god only knows all the stuff ive owned throughout the years all for the sake of trying to get that perfect tone but to know avail, until now.i really love this modeler because it is all about tone at least through a 4/12 cab using a power amp.iwould like to mention that i tried it through some studio monitors and through the effect return of my vintage club and it didnt have quite same magicaltone as it does through the 4/12 and i wish that it had pedal switches so you turn on and off the individual effects in performance mode,but digitech is going to release the rp500 which will have those controls and my only hope is they wont take away any of the great features of this model as a trade off,time will tell.if it ever got stolen i would replace it immediately.i feel that this unit can give you literally any guitar sound in any genre and do it better than any of the units like this that ive tried and or owned from boss, vox ,line6,korg,etc.i also know that nothing is perfect and this no exception to that rule but if you decide to try out the rp350 try it to find the right cabinet and power amp that suits your taste and think of this as a versatile preamp and i think it will inspire you to play as it has definately inspired me

Easy enough to use,grid type system with knobs to adjust parameters
all the relevant info included in the manual

Excellent sound quality provided you use it correctly,if you`re using
a decent valve amp,set it to neutral eq.then switch off the amp
simulator,use it like a pedal board,i.e.o/d box of choice,mod,delay
reverb etc.you do lose the amp channel switching but you can still use
two differing eq settings,tried it with my old park and Kelly(Selmer)
valve amps,best multi I`ve tried so far,(and I`ve tried a lot and not
liked the way they taint the sound),reacts well to pick attack and
guitar vol/tone control.The pickup change patch is brilliant for making
a strat playable again,used Gibsons for years with strat left in case,
it`s now out regularly.

Not had it too long,but it`s sturdily built,cheap enough to replace in
case of accidents,then again,if you abuse your gear you`ve only got
yourself to blame for reliability issues.

Have used several Digitech units over the years,never had any cause to
call for support,seems well built stuff which is how I like it!

Best multi effect I`ve used so far,beats Line 6 stuff into the ground,
amp simulations for recording are good,effects are excellent,not
perfect with regard to ultimate versatility,but pretty damn close in
the sound stakes.I`m very happy with it.Used it with valve amps and sounds good,tried it through a crap 50 watt tranny amp with the amp
simulators on,sounds good too!(a miracle).Has a useful range of outputs
XLR and jack with Speaker simulation defeats on both outputs,useful
for recording using your amp for monitoring and a balanced feed to a
mixer,highly recommended

How easy is it to get a good sound out of it?
* Relatively easy. Yeah, you do have to tweek it quite a bit. I think the best way to do this to just sit down, put on a good set of headphones and go to work. Finding your sound is something worth putting the time and effort into, and when you do have your sound, it's worth all the work you put into it. Everything is included in this little grey box for you to create YOUR tone, and that's why I love it so much.

How about editing patches?
* No problem there. Just a few turns of the knobs, and your good to go.

How is the manual for it?
* Honestly, I kinda liked the fact that it's on the smaller end of things. It lets you know what you need to know and gives you room in the back to take notes. I don't like feeling like I'm trying to learn how to fly a Boeing 747; I'm much more interested in knowing what's there and finding what I like.

Can you get the sound of your favorite artists, and who are they?
* Yes you can get those sounds if you really want to. My ideal sound distortion-wise is a mix between the rythym guitar sounds on Joe Satriani's album "The Extremist" and Def Lepperd's "Hysteria". I also love the crystalline sounds of Eric Johnson. I'm more about finding my sound, and when I mix all of these elements together I find creating my own sound is very easy.

Are certain effects very good or bad?
* I think the effects are pretty good. Everything has a real quality to it that really makes the guitar shine.I've listened to the effects on the RP350 and listened to the actual pedals used, and I think they're as close as you're gonna get for this amount of money.

What setup are you using this with?
* I'm using a G&L Climax Plus (Swamp Ash body, HSH p-up configuration, FR Tremolo) as well as a Crybaby Wah, Boss TU-2 Tuner, BBE Green Screamer, and a ZOOM 505II Multi FX (use this for adding a few more effects to the RP350 to really make it sound good). As for amps, none yet. But I have played this thru multiple amps and every time they sound great. Keep in mind that if you are going to use this through an amplifier, especially a tube amp, you have to turn the EQ off in order to get the best sound out of the amp by letting the EQ of the amp do its job.

Is it noisy, and on what settings?
* Yeah, it can be noisy. Mainly when the distortion/amp modelers are on. But if your guitar is shielded well (as my G&L is), just kick on the noise gate a little bit and you'll be fine. You don't wanna dime it at all because it'll kill off the notes. I think I set mine at about 30 for both the ATTEN & THRES settings.

Can you depend on it?
* YES! I have taken it to jam sessions, shows, practices, etc... and it hasn't failed me yet. I think it's not only because of the metal casing, but I think the tone freaks at DigiTech have really made sure that the insides are able to take a beating, too.

Would I use it on a gig without a backup?
* Yes, and I do it all the time.

What style of music do I play and is this a good match?
* I play more of an alternative/modern rock mix. It's perfect for me because I need a whole lot of tools to create the sound that matches my other guitar player, and this does the job very well.

How long have I been playing?
* I've been playing the guitar since I was 5 years old. I was raised with a dad that had a healthy respect for the greats of rock music. So I'm pretty picky when it comes to what sounds "good" to my ears.

Did I compare it to other products?
* Yes, I thought about going with either the Boss GT-8 or this. I went with this one because the AudioDNA chip made this thing sound miles ahead of the GT-8 in my opinion. I found out the reason for this was that chip can only be used within DigiTech products. Boss basically uses generic computer chips for their processors, and to my ears, I could hear a difference.

Anything I wish it had?
* Yeah, I wish I was able to run two different delays much like Joe Satriani does at times. But that's why I decided to use my old ZOOM for that. Nothing a little brain muscle couldn't fix, though.

Does it help me make my music?
* Absolutely.

With a day or two's worth of fiddling, you can get some great sounds out of this thing. It's a floor pedal, so the biggest pain is constant bending, stooping, sitting... but, then you just get what you want and set a preset... BOOM, easy access. Right out of the box however, you've got a few cool factory presets to play with, that provide great templates for future editing...

One thing I would love to hear is this in front of a tube amp (which I have yet to own). But right now, on a budget, I'm running a pretty simple, inexpensive practice rig that consists of this pedal through a Randal RG75 Solid State 1x12 combo that cost me $200 brand new on ebay... I bought this pedal from a guy on Craigslist for $100... the sweet tones I can conjure up for $300 is insane... Not to mention the cool drum machine that is also fully tweakable... I'm able to kick out some tasty jams and for now, pretty happy with it. I play an ESP Eclipse with EMG's, which is one of the finest instruments I've played... Bottom line, this unit makes my otherwise cheap Randal combo sound like something that would cost at least $1000 more... So, for those on a budget, you can avoid Line 6 (I've been a Line 6 user for years) DIY a bit, sound quality surpases line 6 by a mile...

Seems solid enough, it just sits on the floor and I'm pretty gentle with it... I'm not stomping it or running it over with my car... should last a while..

???

I play everything, I'm leaning more towards clean sounds today more than i ever have, being a Metal head that's saying a lot... But I also listen and play country and blues... The clean sounds are great, not "tube" great, but a far cry from solid state clean (The Randal clean by itself sounded like crap) this pedal cleaned it up nicely... Better clean sounds than Line six... the distortion is pretty close to how I like it, but I'm always messing with my sound, I'm moody that way and it makes playing fun... Tons of great USEABLE, effects.. the echoplex delay is phenominal... that paired with the fender twin model: Pink Floyd or U2 instantly!! My next amp will be a Fender, just because I've never heard better clean sounds in my life... Bottom line, sorry for all the rambling btw... If you've got a cheap-O solid state amp and want to drastically improve the quality of your sound, scrounge one of these up on eBay or Craigslist for around $100. Great, inexpensive investment. RoCK\m/.

Most of the presets are good and can be use without adjusting them.Editing patches is easy.And the ones you can download by other users is easy with many great settings.Manuel is easy to understand.Mine had the new firmware.

You can get most any sound or tone you would ever need.The reverb is Lexicon,one of the best reverbs there is.Using a Peavey Generation Custom EXP with ACM into a Gibson GA 5 Tube Amp or a Peavey ValveKing Royal 8 tube amp set to clean.Effects are not weak and always sound good.Great presets-drums-tuner-effects-and easy downloading of user settings makes this RP 350 one of the best.My Peavey Generation Custom EXP has a PAF humbucker in neck position-a single coil in middle position-and another humbucker in bridge position.Can get any tone-sound you want. Plus with the ACM-Acoustic saddles you can get a good acoustic sound too. With the RP 350-this guitar-and a good tube amp any sound is possible.

No problems-works just fine!

Very helpful in the pass with questions.Didn't need to contact them on the 350.

Classic Rock,Blues,Country,Folk,and Bluegrass.The 350 is a good match.Would buy it again.Pick it over Black Box and Pocket Pod which are too other great multi effects.

On the surface, this unit is easy to use and in fact, the manual is only a few pages. However, to get any reasonable sounds out of it, the easy edit mode does not suffice and "deep editing" is required. Although this in itself not difficult at all, it takes ages because of the many features and parameters. I found it frustrating, because I spent more time tweaking than playing. In terms of features, it gets a 10, but in terms of "ease of use", it depends how you look at it. Oh, and a point off for the fact that you have to press two foot pedals exactly at the same time to activate the bypass and/or the tuner. That was a stupid design fault.

I play mostly classic and progressive rock (Gary Moore, Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis etc.). I play a PRS 513 and a Gibson 335 into a Carr Mercury amp. Always have played good tube amps. The RP-350 pretty much ruins the tube tune, as, indeed, many multi-effects do. Out of the box, all presets sounded simply horrible, which was a mild shock after listening to the sound samples on the web. I agree with the previous reviewer that the effects in clean settings are o.k., but almost all distorted sounds are harsh and digital. Heavy EQ-ing is required. To get fatter, less shrill sounds, it helps somewhat to turn down the centre frequency of the midrange, the default setting of which is set at a very high level of 2200. Still, I found it difficult to get close to most of my favourite sounds. I bought this unit to replace my old ZOOM GFX-8, but I ended up selling off the DigiTech and keeping the Zoom, which has way less features (no amp modeling, e.g.) but which sounds a lot warmer and more natural.

Owned it for about 5 months, so can't really tell. It looked sturdy.

No idea.

As mentioned, this unit did not fit the bill. To be fair, you have to take the price into account. For the price of just over two Boss pedals, you get a million effects, a modeling machine, a (rudimentary, but good sounding) drum computer, a (well-working) Whammy (does not fit into my playing style, though) and a phrase trainer. Serious tone lovers need to look elsewhere, though.
