I have the RP250 and RP350 effects pedals from Digitech. Simply the best available for the money in my opinion. I started playing bass recently and thought I'd check out this little BP-50 unit. I realised its aging a little now and newer Bass effects units are available, but for the price, I was really only looking to dip my toes in the water so to speak. Anyway there is a reasonable set of pre-made patches and the ability to modify them. Not as easy as with the RP250/350 where you can hook up to a computer and modify, but nonetheless it can be done if you havew a bit of spare time. I was perhaps most impressed with the lack of white noise passed through the unit. Very clear sounds with little noise evident with most patches. Sure, it could be better, but its old-ish now and not the latest and greatest technology on offer, but good for an intro bass effects unit for the newer bass player.

I'm a guitar player, but I heard that my now-a-teenager nephew had picked up a bass, I felt obliged to get him his his first pedal.
He seems to think it's awesome. I saw his 'band' (think school of rock type thing, without the ObNox JkBk) and it seemed to do the trick for their covers of Paint It Black and Sweet Child o' Mine (a teacher livin' the dream through 13YO kids, maybe?...).
Anyway. He really likes it. I felt good getting the Digitech, as the lead guitar in my band uses one of their multi-effects processors, and his rig sounds great.
