Digitech’s Software and Firmware Troubles with the RP360 Continue; We Recommend the RP500 Instead
It’s been about 2 years since Digitech released the RP360 and RP360XP, two great-sounding devices.

Why Bullet Mics in Home Studios are Not Tops for Recording Harmonica

We’re ending development of new patches for recently discontinued Digitech RPs
We’ve been making patchsets for the Digitech RPs since the early 2000s, when we started with the RP200. We’ve designed some great sounds for these devices, and we’ll continue to do so. However, when a manufacturer stops making a device, there’s no point in continuing…
RP500 Patch Update #1 is Here!
Our first update to the Huntersounds patch set for Digitech RP500 was shipped to all our RP500 licensees today (16 October 2015). This update contains 23 patches, all designed to make full use of the RP500’s array of footswitches to enable a player to easily…
New Huntersounds RP500 patches coming in 2 weeks!
