400% more horsepower. No wonder the Digitech RP250 sounds so good. You're looking at the one of the world's most advanced audio processors, the "engine" that gives this generation of RP models so much more raw impact and subtle detail. Other manufacturers use general- purpose, off-the-shelf chips. But creating the best guitar tone requires a 100% specialized, optimized processor. Being total audio processing fanatics, "Chip Wizard" engineers set out to create a super-processor specifically designed to power a whole new generation of effects and models. The design team worked for over two years, literally re-defining audio signal processing at the chip level. Then "Tone Guru" engineers - fresh from Production Modeling triumphs like the Jimi Hendrix Experience Artist Series pedal - set to work taking advantage of all this new raw processing power. When you hear what AudioDNA2 does for the tone of the DigiTech RP250 you'll agree it was all worth it.

Purest tones in any multi-effects processor
The new DigiTech RP250 is awesome. The first thing you'll notice is the sleek, intuitive design. All the new RP series multi-effects processors are powered by DigiTech's brand new, proprietary DNA2 chip, which is 5 times more powerful than it's predecessor. And it's very easy to hear the difference. The RP250 provides the purest tones that I've heard in any multi-effects processor to date. The list of effects and amp/cab models is impressive, featuring both vintage and modern effects/amps/cabs. With so many sounds to choose from, the RP250 really lets you unleash your creativity in creating custom tones. You can really squeeze any kind of tone out of this thing that you want.
The RP250 features amp/mixer stereo outputs. With the speaker compensation switch on the back, it sounds great plugged into an amp or directly into a mixer. It also has a stereo headphone output, which I love because I'm in college, so I can play through headphones without bothering my roommates, and most importantly, without losing any tone since I can use the amp/cab models to simulate playing through an amp.
One of my favorite features of the RP250 is that you can assign ANY parameter to the expression pedal so that you can change parameter values as you play. This allows you to come up with some very creative sounds. The min/max parameter value range of the expression pedal can be customized as well in order to easily use the pedal within a precise range of values. The user interface is very intuitive with a very small learning curve. You can become totally familiar with this thing in 10 minutes.
Another feature that makes the RP250 a real value is that you can record with it straight out of the box (if you have recording software; I use Cubase to record from the RP250 and it works great - you can download the drivers from DigiTech's website). It has USB in/out which allows you to record at 44.1 kHz at both 16/24 bit depth. You can also stream music to the RP250 from you computer via USB to jam along with (it also has an external 1/8" jack that you can use to hook up to an iPod/CD player to jam along with as well).
Other cool features include a built-in tuner, bypass, 60 awesome factory presets with an additional 60 user preset slots, a drum machine with 60 patterns and 5 metronomes (with user-changeable tempo), and a bright 6 character display for easy navigation through the different effects. With X-Edit software, you can customize presets from your computer, as well as save presets to your computer (either individually or all 60 user presets at once) so that you never lose a custom preset. So essentially you can have a library of hundreds of presets on your computer, with 60 loaded onto the RP250 at any given time. DigiTech also has a thriving online community for it's products so that you can swap presets with other RP users.
With the new DNA2 chip, in terms of tone and sound quality, the RP250 easily competes with the current top-of-the-line multi-effects processors (in fact it dominates in my opinion). And for the price, it's a total bargain considering all the features that are packed into this box. For me, this is one of those cool toys that you wonder how you ever lived without before you had it.

Great value for the $$$
I bought the RP250 to simplify my live setup. I was pleasantly surprise at the quality of the effects and the degree to which I'm able to each of them. The pickup simulator is very useful in reducing the quack from my piezo pickup. This feature was an added bonus that I didn't realize existed in the RP250 until after I made the purchase. The only negative is that the pedals are too sensitive when trying to drop into bypass or tuner mode. Otherwise this is an outstanding product.

Great Unit For Hobbyist
This is a great unit for home/hobby playing -- which is why I purchased it. It has many different effects, and well worth the price. (In the late 70s I purchased a flanger that cost about as much). Nevertheless, I would not recommend for live performance, as it is too difficult to program, and you cannot easily change effects. I found the twin reverb effect poor when used with a hollow body jazz guitar (Joe Pass) but worked ok with a strat. The unit also generates some degree of extraneous noise. I played through a Fender Champ. All told, I have a great deal of fun with it at home, for which I strongly recommed it. You can't go wrong for the price. Some of the presets are a bit too "far out" to be useful in all but extremely limited settings -- they scare the dog as I cycle through them.

Digitech's Best Multi Pedal Yet
This one little pedal just replaced my entire pedal board. Very simple to program. Even easier with the x-edit s/w. Connects to your computer via a usb cable. About time someone made it simple!. Great range of effects, amp models and amp cabinets and is extremely tweekable. The expression pedal is invaluable and contrary to a previous post, the wah pedal is fanstastic. I like it better than my Vox v847. I previously was using an RP50 which was OK at best but the RP250 totally blows it out of the water. Also sold my POD 2.0 after getting it. Wasn't even close in performance, why bother with it anymore? This is one well thought out and put together pedal.
OK. Dislikes ...
-very difficult to put in to by-pass mode
-built in tuner only so-so
-far to easy to hit the right foot switch while operationg the expression pedal
Get it anyway :-)
