Yikes! if only my memory would serve me well..

I meant the Digitech DHP-33 / DHP-55 / IPS-33B models.
Reviews often say the DHP-33 is better quality than the DHP-55; related 
to choise of components AFAIR, but I can't tell as I have none of them.
None of them are frequent visitors on evilbay :(

Anyways, Digi Vocalists are often reviewed as very easy to work with and 
get a good tone from. Frequently available and affordable too..
 From the limited pokin I did on them half a year ago, I seem to 
remember they came in a few models, of which the later had an edge. YMMV..
