My Digitech rp-250 died recently so im looking for a new one.
Can anyone suggest a good multi-effects pedal, that has some of the following features?
Metronome.
Tuner.
Compression Pedal.
Asking here because the only music store in town is useless as tits on a bull.

As much as I'm a BIG Digitech fan (my stuff is late 90's Digi gear, it's pretty tough stuff) i personally wouldn't recommend any of their newer gear. Although it still sounds good, the build quality is utter shit. They got taken over a few years back and the new owners killed off all the really nice stuff, in favor of turning out cheap, dodgy as fuck plastic shit that falls apart or malfunctions within five minutes of switching it on.
Having said that, if you wanna stick with Digitech (which ain't the worst thing you could do...) hunt round for an old RP-10,12 or 20, they're bloody good once you figure you way around them.
Alternatively, check out the Boss Gt series stuff. I know you can usually pick up GT6's and 8's pretty cheap and they're a pretty good bit of gear (not 100% sure what number they're up to now).
Also, try looking into some of the Zoom boards, they're pretty trick too.

Destroy anything Digitech you own, unless you like having your tone sound like shit. Buy seperate pedals and for a bit more of an investment, you'll have a much better tone.

And learn to tapdance if you use multiple effects... I'm currently using pedals, let's say I want to switch from a "clean" sound to my distortion sound: switch off chorus, switch off delay, switch channels on the amp. Some sounds are difficult, or impossible, to get with analogue pedals. Horses for courses and all that... Destroy anything Digitech you own, unless you like having your tone sound like shit.

That's fair enough, but it's nothing that can't be solved with practice.
I have the spring reverb unit on about 15% in my amp, and then I can Overdrive1/2,Octave, Delay Reverb in about half a second.
The best one out there is probably the GT-10 from Boss, but I still think they're awful things! XD
