Good product, difficult operation

I had used the BP200 for about 8 years so I was somewhat expecting difficulty in operating the device. The tech support with DigiTech is excellent in that they get back to you promptly and have been able to solve all of my issues! My only problem with the pedal is the complexity of the manual. I mean, I have been around the performing side for over 40 years and have a pretty good grasp on most audio systems, etc. However, this manual assumes you have a very thorough knowledge of audio and the terminology is beyond my capabilities. I have inquired about addtional support for this pedal but that seems to be limited to seminars conducted at misc. music stores around the country. My methods are simply hit and miss and when I back myself into a corner, I call DigiTech to get me back to square one! The sound and effects are very impressive through headphones but I have yet to transfer them to a live amp situation.

Better than expected !!!!

I have had this Bass Multi-effects Pedal for a couple of months now and I still have not used all of the features. It is everything that I was looking for and more, way more. The price from Sweetwater.com was excellent.

Versatile Unit for the Money

Bought the BP355 from Sweetwater Online, and it showed up at the door 2 days later. I have had the pedal for a month now.

As soon as you power it up there are 70 effects just a pedal click away. Some of the effects, Fish for example, sound pretty ridiculous so I just modified them to my liking. The expression pedal is very sturdy even in a gig. My only critique of the effects is that the wah is pretty weak and the distortion effects lack variety. The octave effect is probably my favorite.

For 199.95 this pedal is a solid addition to your bass playing. My band plays songs from pretty much every genre and the ability to switch between any type of sound is incredibly useful. If you don't want to blow a thousand dollars on stompboxes, then the BP355 is definitely the thing for you.

1 month and 2 gigs later I am very satisfied with this equipment. The interface is easy to use, the effects range from decent to exceptional, and it works great with both my active and passive basses. The tone, range, and simplicity make this a very versatile unit for the money.

So Far So Good

Just got this recently. The effects are great, easy to edit, and performs very well for live applications. Only complaint is that the "envelope" effect is weak for bass (no presence) and probably more suitable for guitar. However, there is a second type of envelope filter effect that 's smoking for a bass. It's seem to be all about tweaking things to one's liking. Soon I will get into the recording aspects which may take a litte time to tweak.
