Videos of the Day 25 Jan 2013: Andi Martin’s Youtube Channel
Andi Martin is a strong blues harp player based in Madrid who’s using a Digitech RP355 loaded with my patch set in his live performances. We like it. You can hear one of his performances in the video below. Check out Andi’s Youtube Channel (canal…
Check out the V16 RP Patches!
The patches for the v16 Huntersounds Digitech RP patchset update are all ready, so it’s time to hear the samples! I played these pieces with a Hohner Marine Band Deluxe in A, into an Audix Fireball V mic, into a Digitech RP255, into a Peavey…
The Next-Generation patch set sounds are completed, now for the real work
The long-awaited v16 patch set for Digitech RP 250/255/350/355 is almost ready for release. All that remains is assembling the bulk load sets for RP250/255 and completing the documentation. I expect to replace the current v14/15 sets with v16 within a month or so; after…
Comparing the Zoom G3 to the Digitech RP

First impressions of the Zoom G3
I spent a few hours yesterday working with the Zoom G3, and it’s an interesting box. Here are a few of my initial impressions. First, it’s not an extremely simple device to operate. There are a lot of buttons on the device, which is both…
What’d I get for Christmas? The Zoom G3
I was a pretty good guy this year, and Santa brought me a Zoom G3. I did some work a little while ago with the Zoom G2, and ultimately decided not to offer patches for it, because it didn’t seem to produce sounds on a…
New Year’s Eve was incredible…
I played the Sandpiper in Pocatello, ID with Brian Maw on New Year’s Eve, and it was a blast. But it was also different from what I expected, like I had 5 minutes to set up instead of 30, so I didn’t get a chance…
