Really really like your demo and the professional way you delivered it. You went to a lot of trouble, anyone can see that. I got a Line 6 UX2 and wish Id got this kit now.. There are endless registrations and irritations with it. Check out some of my demos if you get time. Wish I had that accoustic sound on the UX2 !!
The 8 dislikes are obviously 8 guitarist who 'know' they could have done better lol. Aah guitarists.
@arfurlife laughing...thx for your comment...yes being on a public platform you do have to be prepared that people like you or dislike you...disliking is ok for me - I could be anything and I believe it is not meant personally. I always try to make the product stand in front of me.
Great demo, Bro! I'm going to buy that pedal soon. I like the sounds and as I see it makes difference what guitar you use. That's a good thing. Can RP155 be used as an audio interface with amp modeling software like Amplitube or Guitar Rig?
@MrDirt86 I do not use those platforms but I do use Logic and Cubase...so I am pretty positive it works with Amplitube and GuitarRig. Check out the platform and the drivers this should give you the answer
sorry about this does it have a looper too and what does it mean by that.i mean does it have a built in memorie to record 10 seconds of playing or is that a usb feature and how is it when it connects via usb i would use cubase LE.what program do you use and do you get hiss problems or popping etc when you try to record.i got win 7 cubase dell studio 1737 just though may as well add that :D
@beakf1 it is a built in looper which gives you 20 seconds of recording time....which means the first take sets the length of the loop then you can overdub as many times as you like. I do use proper cables and when I record I do not sit close to a TV or light bulbs...through this I do not need noise supressors
hi there rhank for this demo.it sounds great on u tube how it comes across in real life id have to see in the shop.my questions can you connect it to a tiny amp like a orange micro cruch amp and how does it compare to the old zoom g2.1u with expetion pedal (i know it doesnt have a pedal but how do you think the modeling sounds compare ) :)
@beakf1 I do my videos so they pretty much match what you get with the product...of course the video platform adds some compression and limited bandwidth but it is pretty much how the products sound....no post production or expensive things behind the curtains
Hi! I'm going to by rp-155, but have some questions. Is it possible to use drum machine and looper together? For example activate the drum machine first, then record rythm part and then do some solo? Or when the drum machine is running you can't use looper?
Quick question: Would I be able to hook this up to a tube amp head and use the delay/reverb/chorus/compressor effects? Or would that just give me a huge heap of feedback and ruin the tone of my amp?
@afas1995 Yeah, any passive volume pedal should do the work, i own a RP55 (wich i don't know why i just love) and i use a normal volume pedal and it does the job very well. I'm now waiting to buy this one. Try to use a metal case pedal, it survives longer
@masters1990mj I use it that way more than I use it with an amp. If your computer monitor are half way descent you get a great sound with the Rp and you have control over the overall volume as you dont need to push tubes or a poweramp to make a amp work.....
Stereo can work as well...basically it is the same concept than using the RP directly into a mixing board or an recording device
i've been thinking about upgrading from an rp70. my thought was the rp155 would be a good choice because it's small and portable, it has more options available than the rp70, but it's a lot simpler and less expensive than, say, the rp500. my obvious question: is the rp155 the best choice for upgrading to from an rp70? (it would make sense, because it's the next in the series. rp90, from my understanding, is basically rp70 plus expression pedal)
this is better then most demos i've seen. you have soul when you play your music even though its just a little demo for youtube. i have this pedal, love it, keep rocking.
Preset 7 Jimi Hendrix sound? Can't wait to open up my DigiTech RP155 for christmas! Oh and the thing you play at 1:05 sounds sooo badass, nice review!
So if I wanted to, I could use my Morley Wah as the expression pedal found on the higher models by using the jack on the back of the unit? That would be killer because I like my spring loaded switchless wah! Would the input go from guitar to wah and then to the rp? or is it a loop? Thanks...this thing sounds killer....
@shadoogie61 I just went thru the manual and yes you are correct....no list of presets with a short decrption maybe....good idea actually.
I always trust my ears and have a strong idea of how I want to sound like and then I just scroll thru the presets available and stop at one which is closest and then alter that.....maybe this works for you too
@ralfjung Well, in case of loss of the manual, u can always re download the pdf file online. But anyway, having messed around with the pedal for over 2 months, I think one can pretty much memorise most of the effects enlisted in the rp155 pedal. My favorite is of course the myriad of delays, chorus, and the JCM 800. :)
@johnmcnair I record sometimes with Cubase but most of the time with my video program direct...that way I spare the pain in the *+#+ to snyc pictures and music.
The RP itself cannot record but it sends a two way audiosignal up the USB to your computer...with stunning quality I want to add here....So the USB serves 2 purposes a edit presets and parameters b be the audiopath.
Excuse me man, is this Pedal hard to manage? like I need for Live Performances something to switch effects FAST, distortion On and Off and Effects without much stepping on the Pads, also does it contain Amp Modelling things or Cabinet Simulators?? thanks you really tested it good man.
@rakyaband Of course you can do this with the RP155....but honestly the way you describe your application and expectation I would go for the RP500......
@aneyekay1 Yes there are short desciptions in it....but best is to check them out in a store. If you do so...have it set up in the serial loop of a good sounding amp. Bring down the Master Volume on the RP before you start though (Knob on the front panel to the very right)
@moodyshoman Yes it is made to record directly to the computer through the USB out. You can run audio parallel through the line out but audio is travelling to the PC via USB. To record without any latency hook up the studio monitors to the RP and use it a s audiointerface....it plays back the tracks on your computer....check out the section in the manual
I use Cubase 5 or Logic Pro...never saw any problems there. I dont have any experience with Audicity - sorry for that but I think as the USB output is sending audio just like any other audiointerface work on the Audicity settings I am sure you can make it work seamless
Im not sure how to use an effect pedal and I'm thinkin bout getting this one. Does it go from your guitar to the pedal through the amp? or is it for cpus?
@ipnutt22 You can use it that way but you can also use it git then rp then amp fx return or power amp in...or you can use it direct thru the USB connection and then hook up your studio monitor to the RP and use its audiointerface features
Ralf i hope that you can help me...i want to buy this pedal but i want to use itt in my gigs.....and i was wondering iff i can you know press just one button that can gett me from the clean sound to the gain one...you know because our next song is GNR paradise city so i have to do the intro chorus cleanish picking and i have to do the gain part too...and i was wondering iff i cant quickly change those too....
@tedySlashfan Each preset you find you can save to a new location....so lets say your clean tone should be at preset one...go and find a preset you like press save and then locate it to 1. Next search for your dirty tone and do the same. You might find yourself in the situation to adapt the volume of those presets....lower the clean preset instead of cranking the dirty all the way so you have some spare volume in case you need it for live
Ralf,first i need to thank you for all your videos and putt you a question ....what should i choose between rp 155 or rp 90...i saw all the effects on theyr website...the rp 155 just has some more amps...am i right?
@tedySlashfan It has more amps and effects plus most important you can use more effects at a time and you can access parameters. In the RP90 you must use templates to choose in between variations of a effect in the 155 you can access those parameters directly
@aryasridhar Thats just a traditional blues boogie pattern...no particular song...you might hear similar songs or patterns with SRV or the BB King, Albert King, older Eric Clapton etc etc
@XxZaShLeYoBsEsSeDxX To get to preset 3?....just use the footswitches to scroll to that preset. I used the Fender straight into the pedal no behind the curtain activity...this is how the pedal sounds
Hi Ralf, thanks for the great demos and also bothering to answer comments almost 1 year later - a lot of work I'm sure but much appreciated. My question is are the limited set of amps/distortions/effects available on the RP155 exactly the same as the 'same-name' amps/distortions/effects' found on the RP1000?
Of course I realise the RP1000 has many many features & advantages over the RP155, but as they share the same AudioDNA2 chip I wonder if the basic set on the RP155 is a match? I hope so!..
@lbk3918 Hi there - sometimes with the new system of youtube I oversee a question especially whern another user has answered it so there will be some delay in my responses or no response....anyway I try to get in here every other day.
The RP1000 has similar models but of course the AD/DA converters are better and the processor gives more horsepower to each model. Other than that the beasic research for the models was the same in all of the RP models. I hope this explains the concept
@jaiknkayla To use the Whammy you need to use an optional expression pedal.....of course you can program the whammy to be in one position but that is exycept a few application pointless in my opinion...having said this this is what I do to immitade a bass guitar....
I'm considering the RP155 to place in the effects loop of my Line 6 M13 for some looping (with my Jamman) and also for playing at church without an amp (straight to house). The guys at Digitech tell me this has the same AudioDNA2 engine as the larger units but just with fewer amp and effect models.
Do you think this unit will work ok in the M13 effects loop?
Hey, I love the vids. They're great demonstrations that further made me purchase this pedal but I was wondering if you or anyone else had tips on using it live? ive used it once live but it lacked volume mostly. Im using a crate GFX212 with the pedal running through the mono effects loop (insert input). Of course, the pedal sounds great at lower volumes though. Any suggestions?
@rarebanana What you hear is what you get.....I didnt tweak any of the presets I was demoing....so this video is really fair in terms of how the pedal sounds.
hey, how doy you change the drumm patterns? i dont know how, i just have the first one, i thing i just have the one of your preste 28, how do i ghange it?
@CreedofCorpsesTV I tend to reply...RTFM but maybe something is wrong with your unit and then my joke isnt funny at all.
When you push the drum buttom you should hear drums playing then use the triangle shaped cursors until you reach the row on the bottom the last row above the knobs....then use these knobs to change drumpatterns, styles volume and speed
@CreedofCorpsesTV easily said: click the drum button, then click the top triangle Edit button on the left of the nobs, then the Tone Knob changes the genre of drum beat (rock, metal, blues...) the 2nd knob, changes the drum beat within that genre, and the third knob controls the tempo of the drum beat. the 4th knob just controls general volume
Ralf, everywhere on the web it says the RP155 has 1/8" aux input (I want to practice with my iPod). But the user manual doesn't show that in diagrams, and I don't see it in photos. Must I step up to the RP255 to get that? Thanks.
@mrtwang52 Yes, you are right for a Aux in you need to go to the RP255. The RP155 does not have that. That is typical for Digitech, the seperate the products into features like this....you put down more money and get more features. This is not unfair I think as all of these features cost something....
I dont really know the RC20 precisely but since it is a dedicated looper you can compare it to the JamMan but not to a looper function which comes with a unit.
In here you can "only" loop 20 sec you can do overdubbing and change presets while the loop plays back at you but you cannot save the loop or play it back faster or slower and keeping pitch or play it backwards etc...the RC and the JamMan can do this of course as they are dedicated to these functions
Maybe someone can help me..i have the rp500,jackson dinky with active emgs played thru a solid state 100watt marshall amp..What i can't get rid of is the dull buzzy sound on my low e,a,d strings..if i strike a chord on those strings the excess noise over powers the next chord I strike..even when I palm mute I get too much extra noise..no clean cut off...Its like there is no bright crisp metal sound..I'm a rookie at this..there must be something I'm missing to clean up my sound.
Could be a lot...could be old strings...or your pickups are too close to the strings...your guitar is set up wrong or the neck has a problem....when it comes to the pedal it is probably a good idea to reset just in case but save your presets first. Keep in mind that EMGs are very loud so you might need to reduce the gain on the ampmodel to get clearer results.
Bloody great vid mate. I was wondering if you could give me a jist of what the presets consisted of in Preset 3 and 5. I own the RP250 and I would love to get that sound preset. Thnx Keep On Rockin
They are factory presets....in the manual you should find a list of the presets but to write out all the parameters it is too much work...please excuse this...if I would answer all of the tab and parameter requests I had to give up my job....smile
it is an open Em (E on 7th fret on A string then G on the 5th fret of the D string) let all other string ring....then there is a normal open C chord and an open D chord with an open high E string (again only two notes fretted)
How is the heaviest distortion the RP155 can offer compared to the Insane#4 preset of the pocket POD? I really want to get one of them but im not sure which one i should buy. I'm into Nu Metal so I am looking for really heavy distortion.
I believe that the Insane preset is a Rectifier modell...in the RP you find the same model plus a few distortion boxes...there is so much distortion and fuzz available in the box-it should make you happy
Sorry...this is just a basic rocknroll riff a la SRV....you should be able to leqrn by watching....I get about 40 emails a day here so I dont really have the time to do this///pls dont be mad at me ok?
Yeah, I think I've got it figured, by the time you mailed replied, thou, I changed some parts... naaaaah, not important, thx, anyway, for the great demo, I wanted to buy Boss multi-effect unit, but after seeing some of yours videos, I've changed my mind...thx... :D
Through the USB port you can stream audio to pretty much any computer using a sequencer software such as Logic Cubase Protools etc. The X Edit is there to remote control the RP. The RP can function as an audiointerface on top of that. If you upgrade to the 255 you get Cubase LE4 for free
try to bypass all the FX to start then use a single coil git if available best is to use the middle PU or the trebel and middle PU together in case if it is a Strat....then dial in the acoustic model and maybe add some reverb....I was using a factory preset btw no magic here... I was also using the RP direct so no amp was involved....amps tend to mask the acoustic effect
Really really like your demo and the professional way you delivered it. You went to a lot of trouble, anyone can see that. I got a Line 6 UX2 and wish Id got this kit now.. There are endless registrations and irritations with it. Check out some of my demos if you get time. Wish I had that accoustic sound on the UX2 !!

You might find yourself in the situation to adapt the volume of those presets....lower the clean preset instead of cranking the dirty all the way so you have some spare volume in case you need it for live

Ralf,first i need to thank you for all your videos and putt you a question ....what should i choose between rp 155 or rp 90...i saw all the effects on theyr website...the rp 155 just has some more amps...am i right?
tedySlashfan 1 year ago
@tedySlashfan It has more amps and effects plus most important you can use more effects at a time and you can access parameters. In the RP90 you must use templates to choose in between variations of a effect in the 155 you can access those parameters directly

What is that song starting at 3:00?

@aryasridhar Thats just a traditional blues boogie pattern...no particular song...you might hear similar songs or patterns with SRV or the BB King, Albert King, older Eric Clapton etc etc

Can you connect the rp 155 to a pedal board and connect it like any ordinary pedal?
And what the power supply.
FullmetalFan500 1 year ago
@FullmetalFan500 Yes you can but most of the effects are oin the pedal anyway. Powersupply comes with the RP and is a 9V AC adapter called PS0913B

ok umm how do you get to "preset 3" that u did with the fender?! ive been trying and its confuzzling me. help?
XxZaShLeYoBsEsSeDxX 1 year ago
@XxZaShLeYoBsEsSeDxX To get to preset 3?....just use the footswitches to scroll to that preset. I used the Fender straight into the pedal no behind the curtain activity...this is how the pedal sounds

Hi Ralf, thanks for the great demos and also bothering to answer comments almost 1 year later - a lot of work I'm sure but much appreciated. My question is are the limited set of amps/distortions/effects available on the RP155 exactly the same as the 'same-name' amps/distortions/effects' found on the RP1000?
Of course I realise the RP1000 has many many features & advantages over the RP155, but as they share the same AudioDNA2 chip I wonder if the basic set on the RP155 is a match? I hope so!..
lbk3918 1 year ago
@lbk3918 Hi there - sometimes with the new system of youtube I oversee a question especially whern another user has answered it so there will be some delay in my responses or no response....anyway I try to get in here every other day.
The RP1000 has similar models but of course the AD/DA converters are better and the processor gives more horsepower to each model. Other than that the beasic research for the models was the same in all of the RP models. I hope this explains the concept

ca you program the paramaters for the whammy or is it fixed in one spot?
jaiknkayla 1 year ago
@jaiknkayla To use the Whammy you need to use an optional expression pedal.....of course you can program the whammy to be in one position but that is exycept a few application pointless in my opinion...having said this this is what I do to immitade a bass guitar....

Hey Ralf, nice demo.
I'm considering the RP155 to place in the effects loop of my Line 6 M13 for some looping (with my Jamman) and also for playing at church without an amp (straight to house). The guys at Digitech tell me this has the same AudioDNA2 engine as the larger units but just with fewer amp and effect models.
Do you think this unit will work ok in the M13 effects loop?
Thx bro.

Hey, I love the vids. They're great demonstrations that further made me purchase this pedal but I was wondering if you or anyone else had tips on using it live? ive used it once live but it lacked volume mostly. Im using a crate GFX212 with the pedal running through the mono effects loop (insert input). Of course, the pedal sounds great at lower volumes though. Any suggestions?

hey, how doy you change the drumm patterns? i dont know how, i just have the first one, i thing i just have the one of your preste 28, how do i ghange it?
CreedofCorpsesTV 1 year ago
@CreedofCorpsesTV I tend to reply...RTFM but maybe something is wrong with your unit and then my joke isnt funny at all.
When you push the drum buttom you should hear drums playing then use the triangle shaped cursors until you reach the row on the bottom the last row above the knobs....then use these knobs to change drumpatterns, styles volume and speed
ralfjung 1 year ago
@CreedofCorpsesTV easily said: click the drum button, then click the top triangle Edit button on the left of the nobs, then the Tone Knob changes the genre of drum beat (rock, metal, blues...) the 2nd knob, changes the drum beat within that genre, and the third knob controls the tempo of the drum beat. the 4th knob just controls general volume

Ralf, everywhere on the web it says the RP155 has 1/8" aux input (I want to practice with my iPod). But the user manual doesn't show that in diagrams, and I don't see it in photos. Must I step up to the RP255 to get that? Thanks.
mrtwang52 1 year ago
@mrtwang52 Yes, you are right for a Aux in you need to go to the RP255. The RP155 does not have that. That is typical for Digitech, the seperate the products into features like this....you put down more money and get more features. This is not unfair I think as all of these features cost something....

Hey does this loop more than once like the Boss Rc20?
PSCocks 2 years ago
@PSCocks
I dont really know the RC20 precisely but since it is a dedicated looper you can compare it to the JamMan but not to a looper function which comes with a unit.
In here you can "only" loop 20 sec you can do overdubbing and change presets while the loop plays back at you but you cannot save the loop or play it back faster or slower and keeping pitch or play it backwards etc...the RC and the JamMan can do this of course as they are dedicated to these functions

Maybe someone can help me..i have the rp500,jackson dinky with active emgs played thru a solid state 100watt marshall amp..What i can't get rid of is the dull buzzy sound on my low e,a,d strings..if i strike a chord on those strings the excess noise over powers the next chord I strike..even when I palm mute I get too much extra noise..no clean cut off...Its like there is no bright crisp metal sound..I'm a rookie at this..there must be something I'm missing to clean up my sound.
webratsrus 2 years ago
Could be a lot...could be old strings...or your pickups are too close to the strings...your guitar is set up wrong or the neck has a problem....when it comes to the pedal it is probably a good idea to reset just in case but save your presets first. Keep in mind that EMGs are very loud so you might need to reduce the gain on the ampmodel to get clearer results.

@brokenclock621
it is an open Em (E on 7th fret on A string then G on the 5th fret of the D string) let all other string ring....then there is a normal open C chord and an open D chord with an open high E string (again only two notes fretted)

How is the heaviest distortion the RP155 can offer compared to the Insane#4 preset of the pocket POD? I really want to get one of them but im not sure which one i should buy. I'm into Nu Metal so I am looking for really heavy distortion.
Link933 2 years ago
I believe that the Insane preset is a Rectifier modell...in the RP you find the same model plus a few distortion boxes...there is so much distortion and fuzz available in the box-it should make you happy

hcb1515 2 years ago
Through the USB port you can stream audio to pretty much any computer using a sequencer software such as Logic Cubase Protools etc. The X Edit is there to remote control the RP. The RP can function as an audiointerface on top of that. If you upgrade to the 255 you get Cubase LE4 for free

Syfolin 2 years ago
try to bypass all the FX to start then use a single coil git if available best is to use the middle PU or the trebel and middle PU together in case if it is a Strat....then dial in the acoustic model and maybe add some reverb....I was using a factory preset btw no magic here... I was also using the RP direct so no amp was involved....amps tend to mask the acoustic effect
