what's "2 Acoustic guitar emulators" and "Learn-A-Lick Phrase Trainer "?

The acoustic guitar emulators do exactly what their title suggests. They process the sound of your electric guitar to make it sound like an acoustic (two different types). Learn a lick allows you to feed in a particular guitar phrase (about ten seconds worth), slow it down to about 50% of its normal speed so you can listen to it more easily.
I have the same functions on my Digitech GNX3.

Does it really makes the sound like an acoustic? GNX3 is awesome.

As close as makes no difference. The GNX3 has a couple of pretty good bass emulators as well.The only problem with those is a very slight delay between playing the note and its response. The acoustic guitar emulator doesn't seem to have that problem though. All in all, digitech do some pretty good pieces of kit for guitars. I'd say they're on a par with Boss (Roland).

with all the different amps, cabinets, and distortions, these things are really hard to get the tone you want. yes you have many options, but unless you really know what amp/cab you want its really hard to make it sound right, that was my experience with RP's anyway

True enough, but it's fun finding out!

What countries' dollar are you going by? USD That pedal should only be $200 or less... The digitech rp1000, their top multi-effects processor is about $500. I bought the rp500, basically the same thing as the 350 only with a few more effects on it. The rp series is awesome you wont regret buying it... unless you pay $500USD for it by accident.

i have a RP100 FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS NOW AND I LOVE IT LOOKING TO UP GRADE ,ITS GETTING OLD BUT STILL PUSHES EFFECTS GREAT I HAD TO GET MY 2 CENTS IN, SO HELLO TO EVERY ONE I,AM NEW TO YOUR SITE,

'mattmurray lol im talking USD, it doesn't cost exactly $500 its about $450 something like that in a crappy country called lebanon.

'BodomBeachTerror well ya maybe but do u get the exact same tone?

thats wierd, i was just about to buy the digitech rp250. how is that one for classic rock and a little metal here and there?
