Recommend getting this, or getting the Digitech X distortion and buy more pedals as I go on? Which would be better in the long run.... right now all I need is distortion, but I'd like to play around with other things. And how real does it sound?

If you buy an X-series now, you can get 20 bucks off of it...59.99 as opposed to 79.99...but only till the end of the month. It's a rebate, but meh.

If you know for a fact you're going to use distortion alot...I would honestly get the XBD first, and then the BP200. The effects all sound 'real' enough...give you plenty of room to experiment with sounds and such. I do think that the DigiFuzz that comes in the Bp200 is weaker than the single-pedal version though

If you know you're going to dive right in and start utilizing all the effects, go for the Bp200 first...

yeah, if you want a feel for the effects get the BP200, be cause of it i want a Big Muff Pi, Stereo chorus, a real wah, maby an EQ. i gives me a chance to fool around with all the effects i could want at an affordable rate, for now its a better deal than indidividual effects, as if i got thr driver, and the another pedal, i could have almost payed for this.

I'm looking at the effects list on the product page and I don't seem to see "Distortion" anywhere. Am I missing something?

Yeah, There is an AMP/Stop box setting, you can choose from classic heads and amps, and distortion boxes, and adjust the gain and level. since the distortion is included under amps, there is no seperate category for it.

this pedal seems like it would be a good deal for what you get. i have the bp50 and its got a lot of the same settings and features, and i love it, so i assume this should be fairly similar. good review.

my friend has one of these... theyre pretty cool i guess

Id rather distortion as a seperate effect, i dont like how its part of the amp modelling :upset:


And i notice noones mentioned the tuner, i remember people saying it kinda sucks....but it works for me. But i think ive screwed it up

I think i remember Joz saying something about calibriating the tuner....help anyone :wave:

Great review I think i'm going to buy it!

Thanks for the review.
