Did you Ever have an Effects Pedal Like this or Something Like it?
I had this when I was about 11. I thought this was the coolest thing
Thank you for the demo. It sounded better than I was expecting. I had a DigiTech RP100 back in the day, which I think is similar. What I remember is that the stock presets were typically bass heavy and needed to be dialed back to fit into a mix. It's like they were trying to make the presets as in your face as possible to impress you right out of the gate. But starting from scratch and dialing in a nice tone and distortion sound was definitely possible. Mine is probably in a box somewhere in the back of my closet. This video makes me tempted to get it out and give it a spin some time. 🙂
