She feels great.
Tone

Every tone you could possibly imagine. I would estimate well over a million tone options maybe infinite should be the word.
Finish

It is a nice finish since it is powdercoated it should last a long time.

Your general opinion of this product.
There are many sounds and combinations to be had from this processor. While the manual is decent, it would have to be 2 or 3 times the size to give all the necessary details. It took me quite a number of hours before I was able to set it up to my liking....to be used in live performances, making switches on-the-fly. The most difficult thing to do is to get the volumes of all of the presets nearly equal with the heel of the vol. pedal back and the max. vol adjusted properly for the toe down. This is really essential for a live playing situation where there isn't time to make adjustments for each number. Setting/modifying the other parameters was quite intuitive for anyone who is familiar with amps and has used a few effects pedals.
I didn't care for most of the factory presets "as-is".
I'd probably buy the unit again. It's not as good as individual effects pedals, but is more cost effective and convenient.

If you are using the unit for recording, or playing with no care about time between songs, it's simple to use; but if you are setting it up for live performances, be prepared to spend considerable time and lot's of re-do's (consistent volume from one preset to another is the challenging task.)
Tone

I covered "tone" under "sound". Many good replications, and a few lousy ones, too.

Your general opinion of this product.
So far in past couple of weeks I can only wish the pedal and buttons were farther apart (size 13 shoe), other than that its an all out ballz to the wall multi pedal that 95% of it I cant complain about, Digitech got this right.
Playability and Feel

Well it is smooth switching with feeling of precisness and timeing.
Tone

Great tone from this thing and it doesnt eat my tube amp tone up and spit it out like most digital effects, I had a Digitech RP80 before and got rid of it as it did that, but took the chance at this one and glad I did. I have a Route 66 pedal and the sustain and compressor on this Digitech can be set to match it lets just say.

Your general opinion of this product.
I've played acoustic guitar for years and several months ago got a great deal on an Epiphone Sheraton electric guitar and a Fender Blues Deluxe tube amp. I'm into jazz and blues, not metal-shredding, but to take advantage of the electric guitar I needed an effects processor--the amp's spring reverb is great but I wanted more. I looked around at various highly-rated single-effect pedals and realized I could easily spend more than I paid for the guitar. I bought the RP355 and it's all I'll ever need--it does it all.
Playability and Feel

It's a little clunky getting the feel of the controls that require pressing different pedals simultaneously to enter bypass or tuning mode, but works well after a bit of practice.

The pedals sometimes can get annoying, becuase the pedal is sensitive. I mean to go up one channel or turn off or on the wah it needs a lite tap not a press then it will go to 20 channels above and turn on and off the wah really fast. I think I am not use to the pedal that doesnt need a stomp

I think here Digitech have some room for improvement, the unit can definitely be modified to have a better appeal (looks). Mechanically and electronically speaking I can only add that so far so good.
Action

Pedals respond really rapidly and easily with minimum touch. You might find that to be very convenient or inconvenient, depending on your own perspective point of view. In my case suited very well.
