Great post! I LOVE my DR880... I've programed a few guitar effect presets, but mostly just use two... one overdriven tone, and the other a clean tone. Something I used to do was spin the dial to a random preset pattern, and force myself to play to it... anything... a solo, a repeating riff, chords, whatever. Really helps to break you out of ruts. I think that unit is one of the most under-rated guitar gadgets out there. When I get a chance, I'll try to record something with it and post it for you, but we are still in home-renovation land for the next few months!
