the amp modeling and just use the effects straight way through your own guitar amplifier to make your own sound (nice to know the models are there if you want them, though). I think one of the reasons people seriously selecting a certain odel amplifier is for the sound it gives in conjuction with the electric guitar they use. I mean everyone is searching for what they consider to be the "Holy Grail" sound for their guitar. Often effects are used as a part of that sound. I had an earlier model of the Digitech RP moedel pedal and I didn't like all the programming involved with it. This newer pedal seems like it gives you the option of using some stored stomp boxes without the amp modeling which is what I'm after. Then you can program the sound
of the pedal you like and go to it through the selector foot buttons. I like that.
