If I'm not incorrect, £40 is about as much as $60-$70. I'd say it's just not worth it looking for a multi fx in that range. From what I've heard from others, multi fxs under $100 are pretty much crap. If you've got the time to save up for something better, I'd say a BOSS GT-6, or a BOSS ME-50, or a Korg AX1500G would be good. I only have personal experience with the first one, but I haven't heard anything bad about the others either. Check out reviews at www.harmonycentral.com for more info.

I agree. You may not want to break the bank, but seriously, if it's that cheap, you probably won't be too happy with it. I don't want to sound arrogant, but really, just save your money for something that you will be happy with.

don't waste your cash on a cheap multi piece of shite! (unless its a GT-6b or roland V-bass!)

you're better of saving up or buying analog pedals!

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT BUT I'LL USE THIS THREAD INSTEAD
OF MAKING A NEW ONE.

I WAS AT A LED ZEPPELIN TRIBUTE CONCERT LAST WEEK
AND THE GUITARIST USED SOMETHING THAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT IS

IT WAS A SENSOR THAT REACT TO MOVEMENT OF HIS HAND (I COULDN'T SEE
IF IT WAS PLUGGED TO HIS GUITAR) BUT IT SOUND A BIT LIKE A WHAMMY PEDAL.
THE CLOSER HIS HAND WAS OF THE SENSOR HIGHER WAS THE SOUND.

HOW DO YOU CALL THIS?

I think it sucks, it's a cheap plastic piece of multi-effect... it'll probably ruine your tone and the digitechs I played all had pretty crappy sounding effects... you might be better off just buying an analog pedal or saving up for a descent multi..

and capslockdude, I dunno what kinda effect that is, must be pretty nifty..

RP-50, nope. Two reasons: A) it doesn't sound that good. B) My friend had one and it didn't last too long... and the fact that it's plastic didn't even come into play.

Not bad. Prices on that bitch range all over the place, but 100 euros is pretty good.
