This Digitech Element XP was on offer at a price that I could not Resist, so I bought to add it to my Other Guitar Effects just to be able to add some Sweetners or Heavy Guitar Sound to my Rhythm-playing and Finger-Picking. The variety this little box has are simply TOO GOOD FOR ME to use all of them as I am not a Lead Guitarist. So for my performances, I use various effects to add some MAGIC to my Rhythm-guitar playing, thus sending me into a trance thinking I AM AN ERIC CLAPTON, OR MARK KNOPFLER playing SIMPLE finger-picking. Well, Mother Nature does not give every human GREAT TALENT, but nevertheless I am happy with what I can do on the Guitar, thanks to such Modern Guitar Effects-Gadgets that brings an ageing hippy from his Stone Age (1960s) to this Modern World Of Magical Musical Gadgets.
