Does the DigiTech Nexus software for the RP360 really work?

It's time for some software goodness.

If you have a DigiTech RP360 like I do (the DigiTech RP360XP will also work), you can download the free Nexus software from the DigiTech web site and edit the user presets with software instead of from the unit itself.

Does it work?

If you connect it properly, yes.

The first thing I recommend is installing the Nexus software first BEFORE connecting the RP360. Why? Drivers.

Second, connect the RP360 using a direct connection, as in unit-to-computer. DO NOT use a USB hub.

Third, backup all your user presets even if you've never modified any.

Fourth, if the software states your RP360 or RP360XP needs a firmware update, do it. It will make editing presets easier. While updating the firmware, LET IT FINISH. Don't do other stuff on your computer while it's taking place.

An example of a preset I made

I was able to get a pretty cool Zeppelin-type sound for my Squier Strat using a minimal setup.
