DigiTech's RP350 multi-effects modeling processor now comes bundled with Steinberg Cubase LE4 music production software ($199.95 total). Using the RP350's USB connection, you can now record guitars directly to a computer and then edit the sounds with the software. Cubase LE4 comes with VST soft-synth instruments, so you can add more sounds to your recorded tracks.

In itself, the RP350 offers more than 118 amplifiers, cabinets, effects and stompboxes; it also features 30 tone and 30 effects libraries, 140 presets (70 factory and 70 user-created), 60 drum patterns, independent left and right balanced XLR outputs, an amp/mixer switch, a built-in expression pedal, and more. The RP350 is housed in a rugged die-cast metal chassis.
