Leave do a question... What it takes for record with USB? Cause in the box there arent any USB cable or something like that...

Apparently the digitech bp355 doesn't come with a UBS cable. you'll need a UBS cable to record music on your computer.

another option you can do is if you own a mixing board like a tascam portastudio mixing board, you can record music through there and export the tracks on to you computer. that's what I did when I record music with the digitech bp355.

I bought mine a couple of months ago after a long debate in my head about whether I actually needed it because I've always preferred analog pedals. HOWEVER, I bought this thing and have never looked back! This pedal truly does deliver! For all of the options this thing provides you CANNOT beat it! Highly recommended!

Well put, bongostealth. The more you dive into this the more you will discover how to get great tones.
I am seriously considering buying another one cause I would love to be able to whammy some synth patches or add chorus to them, as well as use the rhythm tracks with the looper for even cooler loops.

One more ting...the Octaver works best above the 12th fret. Kick the dry down to the octave tones and turn the treble down on the bass and this really gets intense. No lagging. Played a bunch of 16th note runs in the looper and listened back and it tracked great.

So I've had this pedal for a month now and initially I really liked it, but it's frozen on me a few times and recently dropped all my patches. Sadly this one is going back and I'm probably going to pick up an M9. I'll miss the drum loops.

I'm new to incorporating effects into my bass playing. The only thing I had for a while is a DigiTech Bass Whammy for changing pitch on the fly.
I have come to the conclusion that compression might be something for me to help even out volumes and fading notes (slow church stuff).
My BP355 came in today.
I am specifically interested in making the most out the compression section right now. I have tried to research the various pedals this thing is supposed to imitate, but in my understanding of compression (attack, release, threshold), the values don't correlate.
Which model do people use, what values, AND WHY? I need to understand what the options do.
I have a RIC 4001, which probably only needs a little help, and two Hofners (not known for sustain) that maybe I can make a little punchier, but would like to increase the sustain when I can.

The compression is not expressed with usual professional terms. SO you have to read the manual to understand what each parameter will do to your sound.
It's like if at digitech they thought that bassist are not able to understand what is a threshold etc...
There are only 3 compressors. The more "complex" of them is the Digicomp, with these parameters: Sustain = increase for more sustain, Tone = right brighter left darker, Attack = increase for more attack, Crossover = change your tone, Level= output gain.

Like in any compressor, the relation between attack and sustain is direct. So obviously when you increase the attack parameter, under the hood the machine is increasing ratio and diminishing attack time...etc...
