I bought one and set it up as 4 independent effects processors through my mixer. One for each AUX send. Worked beautifully for years. It can sound gritty, it can sound clean. In 1995 Ensoniq released an upgraded version called the DP/4 , the one I use in this video. The changes aren’t revolutionary, some are cosmetic upgrades, some more functional. More guitar cab algorithms etc. I like they made room for a XLR-input in the front. They also released a 2-effect version called the DP/2 in 1995. The song you hear me working on near the end of the video is called “Only One“ and has since been released commercially.
