Description

From the Manufacturer Make the complex simple. Pros use large effect switching systems to connect and make it simple to control large assortments of stompboxes, effects and amps. They need control over effect’s on/off state as well as the ability to completely change the effects in their “pedalboard” at the touch of a single button. Stompbox feel. Pros like stompbox type metal switches due to their feel when pressed and simplicity of operation. On/Off, or program number is all they have time to worry about in a performance. The Simplicity of a Stompbox. The Control of an Effect Switching System. The RP500 takes the complexity of an effect switching system and combines it with the simplicity of stompboxes. Professional tones are at your disposal, all easy controlled. Concentrate on performing. VersatilityEvery guitar player is different from their core tone, how they achieve it, and how they control it on stage. Whether you get your tone from your amp and just need a few effects or get your tone from a single box the RP500 has the sounds and control over them that you need. Unlike multi-effects that take over your tone and limit your control, the RP500 is an effect switching system over internal stompboxes, effects, and amps. Control your tones in Preset or Pedalboard mode. The Preset mode allows you to switch between saved presets and can drastically differ from one to another. The Pedalboard mode allows you to turn on an off individual effects and stompboxes with ease within a preset.To top it off, the unique Amp/Cabinet Bypass mode defeats internal amplifiers and cabinets in the RP500 leaving you with just stompboxes and effects. Your RP500 is now the perfect collection of stompboxes and effects with unprecedented control to use with your distorted or clean amplifier. Augment and spice up your sound any way you’d like and retain the control you need with the RP500.

  • Excellent Product
This pedalboard is AMUSING, it has everything and more, I completly love it, it's portable, its tweak able to anything you want, the 24 bit AD/DA converters provide 16.777.216 samples at 44 khz wich means the signal reproduced by the processor it's exactly the same signal as the analog, to picture this better imagine a time line of 1 second then divide that time line in 1000 pieces, each little piece represents a millisecond, well this machine takes 16,7 millions samples of the analog signal in 2 milliseconds, there is no way possible not even for the most experienced person to find a difference between the sound produced by an analog pedal or this machine, so for those whom says "THEY DONT LIKE DIGITECH OR DIGITAL PEDALBOARDS BECAUSE THE SOUND ITS DIGITALIZED", well they are wrong, they need to accept the technology evolution, you can not compare in any way an old analog full of noise, wires, and poor sounding single array of stompboxes with this kind of technology, it's like comparing an old corvette from the 70s with a 2010 corvette. Also you can connect your SOUND MACHINE like I call it, to your computer and then upgrade it to the last fimware or download over 400 patches [...]or simply create via X-edit your own patch and download it to the pedalboard, very easy to use, it will takes you from 30 mins to 1 hour to be able to use it to the max capabilities, you can record direct to the pc because it's a high end sound card and you can use either the cubase LE 4 software provided with it or any other "studio like" software wich support ASIO drivers. So you got no limit on what you can do with this machine, I know you may say what about my suppa duppa tube 8500 us$ amp sound?... ok you can choose either going on stompbox/bypass mode and use the REAL sounding individual effects on each pedal meaning distortion/chorus/reverb/compressor etc, or simple improve and get a rich non boring sound with the presets/patch mode. The built-in expression pedal it's great you can also tweak the sensitivity to what ever you like, easy to create your own patch or set up any effect on the fly with the simple knobs. Several outputs for mixer/PAs/amps/loop connections capable/mp3 imputs/ noise gate,etc.. it comes otb with the fimware version 1.2 but you MUST upgrade to the 2.0 because they fixed several bugs and added a great and adictive 20 seconds Looper easy to use as well. The rp500 manual it's kinda simple but go ahead and download the rp1000 manual and read all the presets description and several other things wich are the same as the rp500 but explained deeply. The tuner it's very accurate, I compared the tune with any other recognized tuner like the Korg CA-30 Chromatic Tuner and it's the same, no flats or sharp notes. Some people say the distortions are not good yada yada... that's completly not true, if you don't like the presets you can always tweak any effect to what you desire... I could say the people whom say that, its just lazy people who wants everything done otb(out of the box) wich does not makes any sence for a musician. Overall this machine opened the pandora (of the guitar fx) box and puts in the hands of every young or experienced musician a very powerfull tool with limitless capabilities. I wish I could rate 10 stars.. if you buy this you are buying a world of godly sounding machine you won't ever regret and I bet you will replace all your old stuff with this only tool. Thanks for reading. ... show more

  • Great value, great modeling, but a few small issues.
First and foremost, this unit makes really great tones. I own an old Line 6 unit and this, and this is every bit as good in terms of modeling (IMHO). Lots of amps to choose from, lots of cabinets to choose from, and even the pedals are modeled against commercially available units. The flexibility is fantastic, and it really does turn your amp into not much more than an amp - all of the tones come from the unit. The noise gate is really effective. I have a lot of line noise in my practice room, and single-coil guitars routinely buzz when used there - but this noise gate does a really good job at canceling that without harming the tones at all. Good tuner, that will show flat notes if you want to tune up or down. Easy to use, too, and it bypasses the output while its on so you tune silently. Very nice. It appears to be very rugged, too. Heavy case, etc. Caveat: I've only used it for a week, so it's not as if I've had it on the road for a tour or anything. Durability is really something that can only be measured with time, but first impressions are strong. So, why not a 5? Three reasons: Documentation stinks. 30 pages of detail, but it really doesn't tell you how to do basic things like "if you want to have two tones right next to each other, so that you can toggle between them during a song, here's what you have to do..." You can figure it out, with time and patience, and at some point the whole logic of the thing becomes clear and you really can dig deep. It's complicated only because it's so rich with choices, but the method of changing things is very consistent, very "learn-able," and ultimately quite easy... once you figure it out. Better documentation, including perhaps a few YouTube (or Amazon) videos would go far. The wah-pedal is a nuisance. If you really use it, it turns on and off whenever you step down on it. It's also a bit small. If a wah (or volume, or whammy - it can do all three) pedal is your prime reason for buying this, it might not be the best choice. For me, it's not a big deal. The main reason: No power switch. Unbelievably, there is no on/off switch for this unit. The most basic thing in the world, and they don't provide it. To turn it on, you plug it in... To turn it off, you unplug it. Completely impractical, and over time it will cause wear. So, use a power strip that has a power button. That's an easy solution, but it doesn't excuse DigiTech from their obligation. This unit is a value, and it puts out great sound. But even a value unit should have a power switch. If you are looking for an easy to use (once you learn it) system with a LOT of modeling capability, this is a great unit. ... show more
