Nice sounds.  "Chameleon" in particular illustrates how an RP can really
juice up the sound of the harp.  The autowah patch is very cool and out
of the ordinary -- I'm sure the audience was smiling.  And the octave
patch takes the energy level up a notch.  

The bassman patch seems to have more energy and authority on this cut
too -- perhaps it has to do with how the recorder was placed, or perhaps
the output level was turned up on the RP or the PA.

I do a lot of gigs nowadays with nothing but the RP200 plugged into a
PA.  These cuts show that this is a perfectly viable approach.  I'm sure
it's the best sound anyone can get short of a Sonny Jr. or Meteor, and
it might very well be a useful add-on to the kit even for people who own
one of those high-end amps.
