History:
Purchase: Purchased new at Guitar Center in Webster Texas as a way to play with effects processing and drum machine. I think It was $49.00 on sale.
What I Like About This Unit: The unit seems to be fairly well built, and has lots of effects that can be set with it.
The effects that it does produce sound pretty good. The display is nice and bright. The pedal feel is nice and solid, and switching between modes is good and noticeable.
What I Do NOT Like About The Digitech BP-50: Plenty. It drops your input volumes to your amp dramatically, the selections are difficult to make, and drum patterns are extremely limited. The users manual is downright confusing. This thing is flat out hard to use.
BP-50 Quality: It seems to be put together fairly decently.
Summary: Unless you are patient with learning this unit, save your bucks. This thing stinks as far as learning how it works goes. Like I said, the sound it makes is pretty good, but you get robbed on volume, and you have to work too hard to get it to do anything useful. Perhaps the volume thing is a setting, I can't be sure...
