MIJ-VI Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 It's about [i]bloody time[/i] Digitech offered an XLR-equipped unit for bass! [url="http://www.digitech.com/products/Bass/BP355.php"]http://www.digitech.com/products/Bass/BP355.php[/url] Though I'm pleased with my RP355, speaking as an MIJ Fender VI player, having a choice of the bass-centric BP' or the guitar-centric RP' version of the '355 will be [i]fantastic[/i] for we 'VI'ers!

dumelow Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 quite obviously a rival for the zoom b2.1u, wonder how it compares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIJ-VI Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 While Digitech ships (Mac & Windows) software which can control the parameters of their various units via MIDI commands, for GNU/Linux users there's this unofficial offering: "Control your Digitech effect pedal under Linux! gdigi is tool aimed to provide X-Edit functionality to Linux users Supported devices (list misses your DigiTech device? Please get in touch!): * RP250 * RP255 * RP355 * RP500 * RP1000 * GNX3000 * GNX4K [url="http://desowin.org/gdigi/"]http://desowin.org/gdigi/[/url] Hmm... The download link on that page is currently broken. Those who are interested in gdigi may wish to e-mail the author: <[email protected]> In the meantime I have the gdigi-0.2.0.tar.bz2 archive from which I compiled an executable gdigi 2.0 application via these instructions: "Setup: There're no distribution packages available for gdigi (you're welcome to package it for your distribution of choice). In order to compile gdigi on Debian/Ubuntu system, issue following commands:" [code]sudo apt-get install build-essential libasound2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libexpat1-dev wget http://d10xg45o6p6dbl.cloudfront.net/projects/g/gdigi/gdigi-0.2.0.tar.bz2 tar xvjpf gdigi-0.2.0.tar.bz2 cd gdigi-0.2.0 make ./gdigi[/code] If any GNU/Linux users here (I've found that gdigi 2.0 works well under 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10 with an RP355) want the gdigi-0.2.0.tar.bz2 archive (~122kB) please contact the author. (If you can't get through to him, then PM me and I'll e-mail you a copy.) The one important thing which gdigi [i]can't[/i] do yet is save tweaked parameters as a configuration file to a hard drive. However IIRC the author is working on this feature, which (along with alerting him to the release of the new BP355) is why e-mailing him would be a good first move. It is worth noting that as of three months ago there was [i]no[/i] GNU/Linux support available for other competing multi-effects/amp modelling units. I looked... -------- And since the new BP355 is based upon the RP355, here's a thread I found to be helpful: My RP355 review [url="http://forum.thestompbox.net/showthread.php?8645-My-RP355-review&highlight=RP355"]http://forum.thestompbox.net/showthread.ph...highlight=RP355[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 thread revival! I've seen that this has some guitar amps along with the bass ones. How do they sound? Can this be used for both? ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
