Who needs all this crap? my friend has the 1000, and it sounds l ike shit because digital pedal's sound depend a lot of the amp, all you need to get is a good amp and a simple footswitch. I have the digitech rp 255, I use it as a footswitch and wah pedal, and it sounds heavenly, no need of this shit.
@Macsk8ing yeah, i hate it when companies give you a bunch of shit you dont need. it just annoys me with the stupid idiotic effects they come up with these days. this sounds like a good decent pedal though, because i have heard it on many different videos which use tube amps and have their own presets set already, and they have very warm tones you could only get from a tube amp! also, keep in mind that hes just skimming through the sounds, and you can tweak the amp settings on this
@pithor Mate he just runs amp sims without any real tweaking just for a quick demo.This unit can do anything and if you think that boss can hold a candle to digitech as far as amp sims are concerned then you havent researched it enought.Works great with your amp..great straight to the pa..using 4 cable method to access separately your preamp and poweramp stage of your amp and mix it with the unit..This thing is the best mfx unit available right now hands down.Dont let a shitty demo fool you.
I have no idea what you did to mess up the demo, since you imparted some additional distortion stompbox or additional gain from the amp or I don't know what to all amp models in this unit. I have an RP1000 and its amp models sound nothing like this. Didn't you notice the "Hard-Rock-65-Twin-Reverb-of-Doom" yourself? :)
Hey TTK, wanted some advice. I'm Looking for a multi pedal board, and was looking at the Digitech RP 500 and a Line 6 POD x3 Live. I mostly play High Gain Death Metal and was wondering which would be better for that tone and maybe rehearsals?
After the Salvador Ibáñez workshop had been destroyed, the Japanese distributor Hoshino Gakki decided to start making Ibáñez guitars of their own after years of importing Salvador Ibáñez guitars to Japan. They purchased the trademark and started production, first naming the guitars "Ibanez Salvador" and later Ibanez which obtained great success in the 1970s and 1980s.
I know you had time constraints with the vid length for YT, but your demo/review did not put this board in a good light at all. You should have put it thru a DI rather than thru your cam mic. The brash hit and hope riffs for some of these models again did not paint a very good picture of how these amp models can sound. I applaude the effort here but a job half done is what it is, a job half done.
@Asalazar77795 If he used the 4 cable method wouldn't he be wanting to utilize the main amps preamp instead of the preamps coming out of the RP1000?? The best way to demo the unit would be to go straight into the front' channel (which he did) or go through the FX return input at the back...
Sheesh- he steps through all of these amp models, and every single one of 'em is too overdriven to actually hear the nuances. This guy is just stroking his ego, not giving a good review.
To be honest this sounds like crap. Amp modeler in front of another amp sounds bad in most cases. If you are gonna demo a amp modeler u should record direct into a pc or plug it into a good PA
@blacksgslayer I have the RP500, which is nearly identically constructed. It appears to be metal all, around, with the silver toned parts definitely metal, and the black parts seem to be the same metal, painted black. It has a pretty good weight to it. The metal seems strong, but sounds thin & hollow when tapped (which makes sense, to contain the wires and electronics, and keep it from being extra heavy (and more expensive)
@blacksgslayer There are some plastic parts: the 6 silver colored knobs in the middle, the 5 black buttons on top, as well as the two buttons in the rear (ground/lift & amp/mixer) Also, the pegs that are under each of the 6 knobs are plastic, but with a metal ring/nut holding it in place. (I don't recommend kicking them)
one thing i noticed, if I crank the master volume on the amp setting, the responsiveness of some amps are so good (tube-like I would say, though some might disagree)... I like how the Vox and Fender sims react to pick attack or the guitar volume knob
i have been using the RP1000 for a year now and I like this video... I like it with me just sitting and listening to all the amp sims without having to turn the knob :)
my favorite amps: Carvin Legacy for soloing... the AC15/AC30 for brit tones... for the Marshalls the 68 Plexi Drive and the JCM2000 are favorites... the Orange is also very good... for sick metal tones, I like either the Triple Rectifier or Peavey 5150...
They all sound like a Jet City with various distortion and e.q. settings because that is what is are really hearing. To make any sense you would have to plug the modeling unit into an absolutely neutral amp and speaker, not one that already has it's own character.
If my real life cabinet is a Randall George Lynch Box with 4 12 inch super V's in it, and on the setting it is something else like the matching speaker for the Carvin Legacy........I can not quite wrap my mind around how or what sound you actually getting. How do they compensate the expected sound with the actual speakers it is coming out of???? I get how the preamp on the unit bypasses your amp preamp and uses the power tubes only. That makes sense to me. Any thoughts????
Pretty cool. I bought this several months ago, and have not taken it out of the package yet. So when you played those particular amps, was there a matched speaker too? Or was it direct through your individual box? Have you done anything with this unit just as a stomp box? That was why I originaly purchased.
Even when using the clean amp models (like the TWIN) there is a lot of overdrive. This should have been done going direct to the amp's EFX return so we can really appreciate the RP's internal amp modeling clean or dirty.
@freddym223 true ... true... but if the youtube ppl who made the demos want to show the tone of the amp and the type of distorion it may carry... das probably why..idk but the rp1000,rp355,rp500 all have good clean tones and i dont see why there not using them... there just making it seem as if these pedals are only good for distortion..
@StangLX718 This is the worst demo I have watched from TTK. If you pay attention to his unaffected clean sound it is dirty and that's a tube amp, that means with the RP1000 infront you will be getting a lot of breakup on the Jet City which is adding a lot more gain and saturation to each model.
The other thing is yes the factory setting do have the gain turned up as if they were dialled in using low to med gain pups, TTK should have taken this into account when setting up this video.
I decided to buy this a couple weeks ago, and am watchin vids about it, and im definitly convienced! I like the Randell RG 100 myself since im into heavy metal! Excuse my spelling by the way
It's really kinda funny to me that 40 years ago we had less choices and toys and had to work with what we could afford, build and/or get our hands on. Life was simpler and there was great music being created. Now we have all these toys ( me included) and choices and we have to spend time learning how to use them, or should I say learning which amp cabinet simulation, effects, etc. work together for our needs and most of the music being created sounds like crap in my opinion. Such is life.
@DudeinCA52 Just like Rod Serling didn't have access to all the advanced technology we have now, yet The Twilight Zone is hundreds of times more advanced than most sci-fi made since then. So you're right, hi-tech doesn't really guarantee anything.
A time comes when you realize that all it is you a your axe a cord and an amp. If you can't make a good sound without all the toys you need to in the words of Frank Zappa Shut up and play yer guitar...
Go for it man. Ive had a GNX4 for about 3 years now playing outa a Marshall TSL-100 amp and absolutly loved it. I wanted to upgrade n ive tryed/bought them all: line 6, Boss(ME-70, GT-10.), etc. n theyve all been returned. I bought my RP-1000 last nite. Havent gone through everything on it but it sounds real nice. Better than everything else so far. Good luck!
is this better than the line 6 pod x3 live? what about the bogg gt-10? does it sound good with solid state amps? im very interested in distortion sound
I must say the amp models especailly the Marshalls are pretty good and acurate I will admit the Cab simulation could be a bit better but all in all its a great pedal for what you pay for it to get all of those amps in reall life and effects would cost up in the thousands even thouhg people bash these pedals I love them and I have owned a valve before
i bought the rp1000 and its awesome if u run it thru a nice amp.i tried it thru a roland 30x cube and a fender amp, and it sounds crappy thru the roland and EXCELLENT in the fender
Always enjoy the vids (subscriber) but no need to tell us what the preset is when the camera is pointed directly on it! Sharpen that presentation, you're getting better each month.
I was wondering the same thing but I just got the Boss GT-10 since I feel it has the most to offer than the other two. Some people keep saying the sounds of this or that is like plastic or thin or flat but I think it's because a lot of these guys do not know how to fine tune or modify the amp model tone. You have to get the right amp model tone in order for you to get that rich thick solid guitar sound. It depends on the amp model you choose and modify it's range settings
How does made in USA= better quality? GT-10 is awesome, leaves this thing in the dust, I don't give a fuck if it was made in Afghanistan. This sound like a bunch of bad Digitech pedals slapped together. Digiwreck is a distant 5'th in the ME market.
You know what, I am a fan of the GT-10. I have owned Digiwreck, Line 6, Boss, Lexicon etc. etc., and the GT-10 is the best effects idea I have come across. And I am not open minded because i don't like this product? I have tried it, it is no good in my opinion, why would I have any other opinion of it that my own?
Then why the fuck are you even trying to prove that the GT-10 is better than any other multi effect if that's your OWN opinion, keep it to yourself buddy.
The GT-10 might work for you, but that's only you and your own thought, and there are millions of people in the damn fucking world that might think different.
This is a forum, meant for sharing opinion, positive or negative. A lot of smoke gets blown up the consumer's ass by slick corporate demos. To me, this thing sounds bad, so people who may be thinking of buying an effects unit online might have more than a bunch of people still honeymooning with this thing. I didn't say you had to agree with me or give my opinion any more weight than anyone else's. I am not trying to PROVE anything, just giving my .02, which is the whole point, isn't it? GFY!
I figured you would go that way... If the point was not to share videos AND comment on them, there would not be a comment section, numb-nuts. You get all bent out of shape because my opinion may not align with yours, and resort to swearing and ranting, because you don't have the ability to articulate your argument properly. Glad you are done with me, never asked to have anything o do with you in the first place.
I'm really impressed with these. The marshall and mesa models are great. The randall spanked too! It has a lot of great vintage and modern tones, I think digitech did it right!
I would like to see you do a side by side comparison between the amp and effect modeling vs. the real thing since you actually have some of these amps/effects that are modeled on this unit
i have the rp500 which pretty much the same thing as this jus a few less buttons and when i run it through a 120 watt head and 412 cab craked it sounds like total shit!!! but if u just run throguh a power amp it sounds decent
It's great Tone King does these videos though as they really help inform you over what to buy or not. I wish I had heard this before getting the RP255 as the amp models on that unit are the same as the RP1000 (it has less but a lot of the models on here)
And I can assure you the amp modelling is awful. The other stuff though. FX, Modulation, Delay, Reverbs are very high quality though.
The amp models on this are terrible. People should consider the ZOOM g9. It offers DOUBLE the sampling rate - that has a big effect on every sound the processor makes.
The X3 is a LOT better than this as well. I just can't get into Digitech MFX.
Hum I loved the Marshalls the Randall sounded awesome the Mark IV Was Awesome and well I liked alot of them I like the 5150 and TONE KING DUDE WHAT IS YOUR OPINOUN OF THE SOUND QUALITY THIS HAS THREW A LIVE AMP AND DO YOU THINK THE CAB MODES SOUND GOOD THREW A LIVE AMP I KNOW I HAVE BEEN ASKING THIS FOR A WHILE BUT YOUR FEED BACK WOULD BE APREICATED THANKS AND GOD BLESS
they all sounded harsh to me. The starting tone was already overdriven some-not good for demoing amp models. Also, please stop using these weird guitars for your reviews-if you are gonna do reviews use commonly used guitars-fender and gibson base models. Just trying to help. Your average viwer is not gonna have a minarik lotus! Use common guitars and passive pickups.
Ibanez's are common but they are not really appropriate for demoing a vox ac30 or a marshall plexi. The ibanez was fine for the heavy metal type amps-but he used it for all of them. He is not technically wrong-you can use any guitar you want for any type of amp-but we all know for instance what a les paul sounds like with a plexi. Im just saying.
Randall, Dual Rectifier, Orange, Hiwatt and Jcm 900. Good Ones, I'm not so fond of the Fender models though... Now I don't like Fender amps that much anyway LOL \m/
Unless TTK decides to do a shootout between pedals. Say a fuzz shootout between the Big Muff Pi and any other fuzz pedal he may have going into the JCA20 =)
Well, there's one pedal in videos 1, 3, 5, 6, and 9 (which is the same one from video #8. (In total: 5)
In video 2, there's 4 pedals, but he uses three of the pedals and explains two of those pedals being used, and then talks about the only remaining pedal. (Current total: 7-9 You decide.)
There's also three pedals in Video 5. (Current total: 10-12)
The amp from Video 7 doesn't count in my opinion.
Like I said, I'd say that he explained a total of 10 pedals in the 9 days.
put that thing through an FX loop, "power amp in" jack, or straight power amp.........you playing 2 preamps right now!!! this video does this PREamp no justice.
Definitely agree with that. That's the whole point of the RP1000, with it's ability to swap out any amp's pre-amp section with modeled amp by using the Effects Loop.
@swyitch thats because no time is taken to dial in a good tone,the vid needs to be broken in to half a dozen parts to cover the tones possible with each tone.and it is being colored by the preamp of the jet city,so it sounds like the jet city with diff amounts of gain,some of the models are supposed to be clean.A P.A. would be good to demo it through.You really need some thing neutral to demo it through.quality is better than quantity when you are demoing sound products.
I know. I hadda turn it off when he got Orange and it still sounded like all the other crap sounds with varying levels of gain.
The one Vox he said sounded nice did actually sound decent, but the rest save for maybe 2 or 3, just sounded like digital modelling junk.
It probably has some neat effects which are usable, but man... not a big fan of digi-multi-processors. Too computery. Gimme a few analog stomp boxes, a tube amp, and a wah with a versatile guitar anyday.
Thanx for covering a digitech rp model, i may self have a rp 250 which has a vox ac 30 tb setting also, i am waiting to get back my brian may red special guitar from a repair, so im hoping to hear what that setting sounds like on my guitar because its said back in the day brian may used a vox ac 30
Great video, This is one that I really wanted. Sounded like some Ozzy and Scorpions licks in there, lol. Have you tried this unit in the input and also the effects loop. I tried it this way the other day and really loved it. Great video!!!
Well this isn't a good representation on how this amp sounds because you're running it through another amp which has its own separate preamp and power amp, which completely colors and alters the tone of this effects unit. You'd have to record it directly from the effects unit in order to know what it truely sounds like.
BUT ... I am guessing that most people who buy this would run it through an amp ... so they got to hear it the way they'd use it. That's how I see it anyway. Thoughts?
From what I understand the RP1000 is supposed to substitute an amp's preamp through the effects loop. For example, you plug the guitar into the RP1000, then into the amp, then put the RP1000 into the effects loop. So what the RP1000 does is it knocks out the preamp from the amp and substitutes it with the modeled preamp of your choice.
I hope that makes sense :)
The way you have it set up now colors the sound with the preamp on the amp.
so do you think this thing sounds good threw a live amp with the cab sim on even I would like to know your opinion sorry for the butt loads of questions get back when you can and awesome vids man keep it up
It's all good rockfreak :-). I enjoy the dialogue. You brought up a good point. I added my .02. That's what keeps this alive!! Thanks again for the comment! Keep em coming ;-). Have a great day!!
My favorite Amp models would be the Marshalls I am big into that British tone On my GNX I use the JCM 900 setting and once upon a time I owned a Marshall head
Yes, changing the EQ on the amp will affect the sound. I'd recommend leaving the amp's EQ flat at first and dialing it in with the effects pedal. That way, you'd know the pedal's tonal range and can adjust accordingly. You can then tweak the amp's EQ to finalize your tone.
I have always liked the idea of the multi-effects pedals but I could never find one I liked so I have always used stomp boxes. I must say I do like what I hear from this.
For those who want to use the amp models and play aloud, I would recommend using the line out to a monitor or power amp to guitar cabinet rather than going into a clean amp. You'd get a better representation of the RP's abilities.
Tech 21 makes the Power Engine which is essentially a power amp and speaker(s).
Electro-Harmonix released the 22 Caliber which is a stomp-box-sized power amp for just $100.
Just add the RP or any other preamp and you're good to go with those two.
Nice demo! Been waiting for a decent one of the RP1k. Been looking for something that would simplify things yet still allow me to use stand alone pedals. Thanks TK :)
Hey TTK, any plans to review the Vox ToneLab ST? I have the LE model and it sounds incredible, and they released the ST recently for half the price. I'm curious what you think, especially compared to other units like the DigiTech.

How come everything sounds distorted, yet the distortion switch isn't activated? Are they modeling these amps with the volume pegged?
StangLX718 1 year ago
Yeah, I was wondering the samething
jmrdex 1 year ago
@StangLX718 This is the worst demo I have watched from TTK. If you pay attention to his unaffected clean sound it is dirty and that's a tube amp, that means with the RP1000 infront you will be getting a lot of breakup on the Jet City which is adding a lot more gain and saturation to each model.
The other thing is yes the factory setting do have the gain turned up as if they were dialled in using low to med gain pups, TTK should have taken this into account when setting up this video.

It's really kinda funny to me that 40 years ago we had less choices and toys and had to work with what we could afford, build and/or get our hands on. Life was simpler and there was great music being created. Now we have all these toys ( me included) and choices and we have to spend time learning how to use them, or should I say learning which amp cabinet simulation, effects, etc. work together for our needs and most of the music being created sounds like crap in my opinion. Such is life.

Go for it man. Ive had a GNX4 for about 3 years now playing outa a Marshall TSL-100 amp and absolutly loved it. I wanted to upgrade n ive tryed/bought them all: line 6, Boss(ME-70, GT-10.), etc. n theyve all been returned. I bought my RP-1000 last nite. Havent gone through everything on it but it sounds real nice. Better than everything else so far. Good luck!

I must say the amp models especailly the Marshalls are pretty good and acurate I will admit the Cab simulation could be a bit better but all in all its a great pedal for what you pay for it to get all of those amps in reall life and effects would cost up in the thousands even thouhg people bash these pedals I love them and I have owned a valve before

Digitech RP 1000, Boss GT 10 or Zoom G9.2tt ?
I'd say the digitech but what do u guys think ?
4ttitud3 2 years ago
I was wondering the same thing but I just got the Boss GT-10 since I feel it has the most to offer than the other two. Some people keep saying the sounds of this or that is like plastic or thin or flat but I think it's because a lot of these guys do not know how to fine tune or modify the amp model tone. You have to get the right amp model tone in order for you to get that rich thick solid guitar sound. It depends on the amp model you choose and modify it's range settings

Then why the fuck are you even trying to prove that the GT-10 is better than any other multi effect if that's your OWN opinion, keep it to yourself buddy.
The GT-10 might work for you, but that's only you and your own thought, and there are millions of people in the damn fucking world that might think different.

This is a forum, meant for sharing opinion, positive or negative. A lot of smoke gets blown up the consumer's ass by slick corporate demos.

I didn't say you had to agree with me or give my opinion any more weight than anyone else's. I am not trying to PROVE anything, just giving my .02, which is the whole point, isn't it? GFY!

It's great Tone King does these videos though as they really help inform you over what to buy or not. I wish I had heard this before getting the RP255 as the amp models on that unit are the same as the RP1000 (it has less but a lot of the models on here)
And I can assure you the amp modelling is awful. The other stuff though. FX, Modulation, Delay, Reverbs are very high quality though.
Stick with POD X3 or ZOOM / VOX
subsahara121 2 years ago
Seriously disagree!
With some tweaking, the amp models sound great!
I have had PODs, and while they are good, this is just as good.
Archermahly 2 years ago
The amp models on this are terrible. People should consider the ZOOM g9. It offers DOUBLE the sampling rate - that has a big effect on every sound the processor makes.
The X3 is a LOT better than this as well. I just can't get into Digitech MFX.
subsahara121 2 years ago
All of the amp models sound the same pretty much, the way the drive sounds break apart. Awesome demo but the Zoom G9 is WAY better.
subsahara121 2 years ago
Your videos are the best on the web man. Keep rocking! Would you recommend the Digitech RP500 / 1000 as the best mfx out there right now?

the only defect of the rp 500/1000 is that they don't have same of my favorite amp models like a good simulating of a engl or a hughes & Kettner.

akaboo69 2 years ago
they all sounded harsh to me. The starting tone was already overdriven some-not good for demoing amp models. Also, please stop using these weird guitars for your reviews-if you are gonna do reviews use commonly used guitars-fender and gibson base models. Just trying to help. Your average viwer is not gonna have a minarik lotus! Use common guitars and passive pickups.

Stormleader42 2 years ago
Ibanez's are common but they are not really appropriate for demoing a vox ac30 or a marshall plexi. The ibanez was fine for the heavy metal type amps-but he used it for all of them. He is not technically wrong-you can use any guitar you want for any type of amp-but we all know for instance what a les paul sounds like with a plexi. Im just saying.

akaboo69 2 years ago
Well, there's one pedal in videos 1, 3, 5, 6, and 9 (which is the same one from video #8. (In total: 5)
In video 2, there's 4 pedals, but he uses three of the pedals and explains two of those pedals being used, and then talks about the only remaining pedal. (Current total: 7-9 You decide.)
There's also three pedals in Video 5. (Current total: 10-12)
The amp from Video 7 doesn't count in my opinion.
Like I said, I'd say that he explained a total of 10 pedals in the 9 days.

swyitch 2 years ago
@swyitch thats because no time is taken to dial in a good tone,the vid needs to be broken in to half a dozen parts to cover the tones possible with each tone.and it is being colored by the preamp of the jet city,so it sounds like the jet city with diff amounts of gain,some of the models are supposed to be clean.A P.A. would be good to demo it through.You really need some thing neutral to demo it through.quality is better than quantity when you are demoing sound products.
lanni5150 2 years ago
i agree this method is showing much beyond different gain amounts, course i cant stand digitech stuff either :)
swyitch 2 years ago
I know. I hadda turn it off when he got Orange and it still sounded like all the other crap sounds with varying levels of gain.
The one Vox he said sounded nice did actually sound decent, but the rest save for maybe 2 or 3, just sounded like digital modelling junk.
It probably has some neat effects which are usable, but man... not a big fan of digi-multi-processors. Too computery. Gimme a few analog stomp boxes, a tube amp, and a wah with a versatile guitar anyday.

NorthShoreMike 2 years ago
Well this isn't a good representation on how this amp sounds because you're running it through another amp which has its own separate preamp and power amp, which completely colors and alters the tone of this effects unit. You'd have to record it directly from the effects unit in order to know what it truely sounds like.
rockfreak611 2 years ago
BUT ... I am guessing that most people who buy this would run it through an amp ... so they got to hear it the way they'd use it. That's how I see it anyway. Thoughts?
lmsjr 2 years ago
From what I understand the RP1000 is supposed to substitute an amp's preamp through the effects loop. For example, you plug the guitar into the RP1000, then into the amp, then put the RP1000 into the effects loop. So what the RP1000 does is it knocks out the preamp from the amp and substitutes it with the modeled preamp of your choice.
I hope that makes sense :)
The way you have it set up now colors the sound with the preamp on the amp.

Those where my favorites.
And a question: If i change the EQ on the amp with this device connected (Or any kind of multi-effect pedal), will that change the sound at all?
thomson125 2 years ago
Yes, changing the EQ on the amp will affect the sound. I'd recommend leaving the amp's EQ flat at first and dialing it in with the effects pedal. That way, you'd know the pedal's tonal range and can adjust accordingly. You can then tweak the amp's EQ to finalize your tone.
I hope this helps.

brokensoul70 2 years ago
For those who want to use the amp models and play aloud, I would recommend using the line out to a monitor or power amp to guitar cabinet rather than going into a clean amp. You'd get a better representation of the RP's abilities.
Tech 21 makes the Power Engine which is essentially a power amp and speaker(s).
Electro-Harmonix released the 22 Caliber which is a stomp-box-sized power amp for just $100.
Just add the RP or any other preamp and you're good to go with those two.
