Digitech BP90?

Owned the bp90 and the bp355... they made me lose faith in digitech. I've owned several guitar and bass digitech products over the years and the build quality and features aren't getting any better. Definitely go try before you buy but also consider the zoom products like the b3 and the new multi stomp if you're looking for great sounding multis. I dug the zoom for a while but then decided to sell it to play around in analog land where I've been much happier.
 
I got the BP80 which I suppose the BP90 replaced, but if they are similar it is a ok practice tool, idea recording etc. But I felt that with high volume (rehearsal level) it deteriate the tone (and feels flimsy).

I would however recommend the VOX stomplab bass (I and II) for approx the same money a BP90 would set you back. Sounds good and build quality is good. The wha-pedal of the II-version is however really small. Suits my 3 year old daughters feet. But it actually works ok for me due to the height of the unit.

Good luck!

I've been wondering about the vox stomplab for a while. I was going to purchase one out of curiosity, but I plan to buy a digitech bp355 once again since I was given requests to post new patch ideas on a thread I've started where I've post patch ideas for the digitech bp355. maybe I will buy a vox stomplab sometime soon and see how it is. and perhaps post sound samples of it on my soundclick website. I have recorded sound samples of many different multi-effects processors over the years to help out talkbass members to hear how certain multi-effects processors sounds. and I have also started threads on patch ideas for the zoom b3 and the digitech bp355. pretty soon I will be purchasing a digitech bp355 real soon and I will be posting more patch ideas and post more sound samples on my soundclick website.

Which one is better, zoom b3 or bp355?
 
I've owned mine for well over a year and use it all the time. I've got it on my pedal board,gigged with it and its held up fine. I've programmed alot of my own sounds into it. I've been more than happy with it.

That depends on your tastes in sound quality between those multi-effects pedals. though both digital and have their own unique take on of certain effects, I personally like the zoom b3 for it's blend and balance feature. which is something the digitech bp355 was missing. those features can easily mix the dry signal with the effects signal. that way, you can create some killer sounds without obliterating lows. the zoom b3 is very useful for recording and live performances. the digitech bp355 on the other hand has an eq setting. so if you prefer using eq for creating a distortion patch over blending signals, the digitech bp355 would be right up your alley. personally, I think the bp355 is more suitable for recording.
