digitech rp350

I own a Digitech Jimi Hendrix Experience pedal but was thinking of getting
theDigitech RP350. I was wondering, would I be able to get almost or nearly
the same tones as the hendrix pedal gets WITHIN the RP350?
Surely if the RP350 is as versatile as it sounds it must be able to get some
good hendrix(y) tones. thanks

I've had no experience with the "Digitech Jimi Hendrix Experience pedal",
but I think there are some negatives about the RP350[A]. The main two
criticsms that I have, include:
- The wah/volume pedal is not smooth (it changes in
fairly large discrete steps -- quite audible).
- The "recording quality" seems to be poor
These cons might also apply to your pedal, I don't know. But for jamming
(non-recording) purposes, these might not be important.
OTOH, I now mostly record clean and then add the effects with VST software
effects later. This gives you the ultimate flexibility in your final mix.
One thing about the RP350 that may also be important to your
consideration, is that it might be too complicated to operate in a jam
situation. It is very flexible, and you could easily spend a whole work
week just exploring the variations. So this can be time consuming and
potentially annoying to your fellow band mates in a band practice/jam
situation. Just something to think about.

I tried one of those Digitech multiFX side by side with a similar Toneworks,
and thought it sounded OK through headphones (and presumably would for
recording) but hopeless through an amp, even with the amp modeling switched
off. I bought the Toneworks but it now sits in the drawer and I've gone back
to pedals.
The points I'm making are this:
You need to try the pedal in your situation.
You may end up filing the whole multiFX thing in the "too hard" basket, as I
did.

I've had both the RP-50 and RP-250 for a little time (both picked up as
used deals to give to nephews, so I had time to play with them). I hate
to say it, but they sounded better into a keyboard amp than into a
guitar amp.

better suited to running in a hi-fi setup, eg recording, headphones or, as
you say, a keyboard amp.
