Digitech RP 1000.... anyone have one or spent time with one?


Recommended Posts

Considering one for some live applications..... Digitech Rp1000

real world application vs factory "specs" can vary quite a bit.......

Couple questions.... for anyone that has spent some time with one...

Switching between presets .. any glitchiness? Delays? .... I usually set up my live rig with 2 of the same amp presets with one louder for leads... so glitches or delays is a deal killer for me...

Also, can you configure a boost in a single preset in the stomp box mode...

thanks!!!!

I have the RP500 and love it.

I use it in stompbox mode and have never noticed and delays when switching between presets.

If you're asking about setting a Volume Boost on a particular preset, I'm not sure. I have a dual master volume amp and get my boost from there.

I played from many years without any effects. After getting in a Cover band a few years ago that played everything from Johnny Cash to Metallica I realized I could cover a lot more ground with a some effects. I started to buy pedals used but then I heard about the RP500.

It is absolutely amazing.

Being able to have multiple presets allows me to completely change from one type of pedalboard to another with a single stomp.

Cool..... I was thinking about using this for "the" rig.... I have heard from a couple people that it may be glitchy wen switching between presets... that is my main concern... I don't want to take an amp out.

I have rehearsal tomorrow.

I'll try switching presets in the middle of a song & post back tomorrow night.

By the way, I've been gigging with mine for a couple of years and it's been 100% reliable.

It's so cool to have every effect you'd ever use in one small, lightweight unit.

The ability to set up multiple presets for different songs is just amazing.

I use an RP500, and had a 1000 (at home, in a corner). There is no spillover in these units (the GSP1101 offers that though).

There is no volume boost that I know of. You could set min and max volumes in the expression pedal's range if you weren't using it for a wah, or you could make two otherwise identical presets, one being louder, then bank up/down as boost on/off. As you probably already know, the Up/Down buttons switch entire banks in preset mode but just cycle individual presets in stompbox mode.

Preset and effect changes are fast.

Sorry I got to this late. Someone clocked a 38ms gap in switching patches in their RP500 before the firmware updates that boosted processor speeds by 50%. So now it's probably 25ms or so, and it's probably identical on the other RP units. You can hear it, it's not totally seamless, but it hasn't been a problem for playing live.

You can program the compressor to be a boost before the amp sim (set Sustain to 0 and Volume to whatever), or you can use the expression pedal like someone else suggested. The RP355 has an Amp A/B switch that lets you switch between 2 different amps in the same patch. So I just make Amp B a louder version of Amp A and use the Amp A/B switch as a volume boost. On the RP1000 there might be other tricks you can use like setting the EQ or LFO as a volume boost. But the easiest way it to just create an identical patch with more volume.
