“What are you looking at?” asked my wife while she walked up behind me, looking at my computer screen.<\/p>\n

Me: “something I absolutely NEED!!!”<\/p>\n

She: (The look!)<\/p>\n

I sighed, and answered “A Digitech RP250 Multi-Effects\/Modeling Processor”<\/p>\n

“What’s THAT?”, she wanted to know.<\/p>\n

Now, HOW does\u00c2\u00a0one explain an RP250?<\/p>\n

I thought about this for a while …<\/p>\n

… do you start by explaining the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc68 Marshall\u00c2\u00ae 100 Watt Super Lead (plexi) Amp module?
\n*salivates*
\nor tell her about the mild-to-wild classic distortion stompbox models including TS-808, DOD\u00c2\u00ae 250, ProCo Rat, Big Muff\u00c2\u00ae Pi?
\n*sigh*
\nbut then, suddenly, there is Jimi Hendrix and his Vox\u00c2\u00ae Clyde McCoy Wah.
\n*swoon*
\nthe “USB connectivity for recording, preset editing archiving and downloading and more.” is very cool, but then ..
\nyou spot the “\u00e2\u20ac\u02dc81 Mesa\/Boogie\u00c2\u00ae* Mark II C”
\n*heavy panting*<\/p>\n

But wait! There is more!<\/p>\n

There is the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc65 Fender\u00c2\u00ae Blackface Deluxe Reverb!
\n24 bit, 44.1kHz Sampling rate!
\nA high quality drum machine with 60 patterns.
\nThe new AudioDNA2 \u00c2\u00ae DSP super-chip.
\nA\u00c2\u00a030-preset Quick Start Effects Chain Library.<\/p>\n

And and and ….<\/p>\n

And then there is the spousal verdict, very loud, very clear:<\/p>\n

“If you don’t know what it is, YOU CAN’T HAVE IT!”<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
