FAQ: Setting up an RG-16 with an All Access

[GreenGrayRain]

I mean, different presets from a single pedal, so that I can have 3 kinds of chorus made up from 1 pedal.

[rjmmusic]

@GreenGrayRain Only with pedals that have presets (like the Eventide ModFactor.)

[GreenGrayRain]

@rjmmusic Oh, I see :( thanks for the quick reply.

[GreenGrayRain]

I don't know how to put this, but, let's say I have 10 analog guitar pedals, can I store presets into the All Access? so I don't have to tweak the knobs and shit everytime I finish a song? You know what I mean? is that possible?

[speedRickspeed]

Are you using a 7-Pin cable here? If you don't; is there any difference in setting up the Rocktron with another cable such as the 5-Pin ?

[felixu2fan]

On 3:28 you say that you can switch another 2 effect-units with the remaining buttons 14 and 15. How am I able to control another 2 effect-units, if the RG-16 doesn't contain more that 8 audio loops?

[rjmmusic]

@felixu2fan If you have other effects, like a rackmount effects processor, or other MIDI-capable device, you can control them. We also offer the Effect Gizmo with 12 loops and the Mini Effect Gizmo with 5 loops, both of which can be used alone or in conjunction with the RG-16.

[manchaybet]

hi man, is there any other way beside rg-16 to connect my stomp boxes to the all access?

[rjmmusic]

@manchaybet We make a few others, the Effect Gizmo and the Mini Effect Gizmo, and there are a couple of other products by other companies that also would do the job.

Hi, I have an All-access and an Effect Gizmo. I've just bought a TimeFactor and a ModFactor by Eventide (to replace a bunch of analog pedals). Now I only have a compressor and an od before the amp, and the Eventides and a volume boost in the fx loop of my CAA OD50. The problem is I'd like to use various presets from the eventides... Is it possible to have instant access buttons control the eventides ? (let's say 2 buttons for 2 delay presets and 3 buttons for 3 modulation presets) Thanx a lot.

[rjmmusic]

@nenad1974 I don't think you could do it with the instant access buttons, but you could easily do it from the preset buttons.

Hey how many effects can you put i the rocktron?

And can you get effects right from your amps a from your multi effect machine and peamps?

[rjmmusic]

@PumpkinFan123 You can put 8 effects in the RG-16 (you don't plug any effects into the All Access). The effects can be multi-effects, pedals, preamps, etc. The RG-16 can switch any audio signal.

[FullmetalFan500]

Do you need a RG-16 to set up the rocktron?

how can you put pedals in it?

[rjmmusic]

@FullmetalFan500 No, you don't need anything to set up the Rocktron. The pedals plug into the RG-16 - there are 8 send/return loops that your pedals plug into. The RG-16 accepts commands from the All Access and switches the pedals in and out of your signal path without you having to stomp on the pedals individually.

[rjmmusic]

@FullmetalFan500 You don't need the RG-16 present to set up the All Access. The pedals plug into the RG-16 - it has 8 input/output groups that all the pedals connect to.

THANK YOU! Four minutes of your video did more than 4 hours of head scratching with the all access manual!

[litlemadguitarist]

I dont understand this its all pretty new to me, do you use actual stomboxes or ones in the unit like a multi effects thing?

[rjmmusic]

It's intended to work with stompboxes. That way, you can get automated switching of effects like a multi-effect processor would, but you can still use your favorite effects - you won't be stuck with one kind of chorus, reverb, etc...

[isoviths81]

hello from greece! one question: can I use the all access to control both my preamp-modulation racks and my TC Voice Works rack, which is for vocals? thank you

[megadethfans96]

dave mustaine from megadeth use an all acess

[44eelz]

could this be used with just single pedals?

[rjmmusic]

You need the RG-16 unit to switch everything, so it's much easier to do in a rack. Some people have mounted their RG-16 inside their pedalboard, which takes some work (and a custom pedalboard), but that works just as well.

[44eelz]

ok thanks

[dinkymau]

if you want to control your amp via midi, your amp has to have midi input or ouputs? if so, is there any way to do it, if it doesnt have any?

[rjmmusic]

Actually, that's one of the main features of the RG-16 (and the Amp Gizmo) - it allows you to have MIDI control of amps that don't have MIDI built-in.

[dinkymau]

then how you do it? is there anywhere i can check it out?

[dinkymau]

ooohh i see now... 8-pin to 1/4".....i will think of this seriously im a bit tired of tap dancing, thanks a lot

[kramerkid99]

mick mars of motley crue uses an all acess aswell

[nabil14]

this is what matt bellamy from muse is using...

[muse03]

its my dream to own one of them access midi's how much was urs and they still beein made?

[ManuDalmace]

It's a great video and really well explained even for a frenchman like me!

How I can purchase the RG-16 in Europe? Is there any distribuitor here in Europe?

Thanks

[rockboy8812]

thanks, your videos help me a lot to have an idea about midi controllers, what brand is the rack case that have the compartment to put the foot effects??

[rjmmusic]

It's actually a standard 8-space rack with a 1-space sliding rack drawer for the pedals. It's a great way to get a lot of effects in a relatively small rack. Dave Friedman of Rack Systems in North Hollywood (California) planned it out and did the wiring for us.

[Contagous2001]

Can you post a video with the RG-16, some effects and two amplifier heads that would run at the same time? DO you think the all access is better than a ground control pro or are they virtually the same except for price?
