Playing with my toys and the need to catch up!

I have to admit, I haven't played my guitar in about five days! I think the lazy days of summer are getting to me. This is also the reason I had not posted anything here sooner. The last time I played, I was trying to reproduce some of my favorite settings from my DigiTech RP50 modeling guitar processor on my new Vox DA5 amp. So far, I have been able to reproduce all of my favorites on my DA5. The only real difference is that I can save settings on the RP50. It has 40 user preset locations where I can save settings. The DA5 doesn't have the capability to save settings, but it is easy enough to dial in my settings, so it is really not a problem. I use a pre-printed form that came in the DA5 manual to record my various settings. Once on paper, all I have to do is dial in any setting I want. It may seem easier to have a setting saved and just go to it instead of having to dial it in every time, but I see benefits in both methods. On the RP50, once a setting is saved in a specific location, I have to know where that particular setting is, so I have to use a chart for reference. On the DA5, I use the pre-printed form I mentioned above. I don't mind dialing in a setting because it gives me a chance to experiment with that setting whenever I dial it in. On an RP50 setting, I tend to just go to it and use it as it was originally saved. It comes down to convenience versus creativity for me when using my RP50 and my DA5 to get a desired sound, but I love both of these devices.

Now, if you will excuse me, I have some guitar practicing and playing to catch up with!
