hello, can anybody explain to me the concept of amp effects? I mean the randall/marshall/mezaboogie/ cabinet included in a multi-effects? please, I'm having real hard times understanding it. If i have a Laney cabinet, why do i still have to use the Marshall cabinet amp embeded in the multi-effect guitar processor? please, I am so green with those concepts. hope you understand..
@delacruzneili The amp/cab models in multi-effects units are primarily used when you are recording direct to PC via USB. It allows you to simulate having an amp and cab.
Some people, me included, use these models as part of their actual tone and just run the unit through their amp's clean channel when playing live.
Of course, some of the newer units, the RP500 included, allows you to turn off the amp/cab modeling. This allows you to use them just like normal stompboxes.
Thanks man. I have not yet installed my looper system in my rp500. Can you teach me how to do that in my pc procedurally? Thanks. Your reply helped me a lot since you're the only one replied with that comment of mine. I appreciated it. thanks.
The thing is, I don't exactly remember how I updated mine. But I'm sure that I got the XEdit, NetUpdater and RP500 Driver from digitech[dot]com[slash]en-US[slash]products[slash]rp500.
Just click on the Downloads button on the lower right part of the page. :)
@delacruzneili Nice Question you got there. Yes, to use Amp/Cab effect, you gotta have clean Amp plugged to your guitar. Otherwise it wud be cocktail of Amp/Cab effects. Like you got Laney Amp/Cab and now you set your Digitech RP500 to Marshall Amp tone, what would you get. COCKTAIL Amp/Cab Effect :P
@CRASHABC I used to run a separate distortion box through the RP500 and it worked pretty well--except for the wah. I had to get a separate wah pedal as well because I generally want my wah before my dirt boxes.
i didnt have mine a week and the master vol knob broke off, took it back, and a week later the new ones knob broke off too. sounds great but man they need a guard
I really don't see why people are so insulting of this guy. It's his PLAYING we're interested in here, NOT his bloody fashion sense! Has the guitar world become THIS shallow?
if talking about effects the greatest sound is from Roland--> so Boss pedals
Like the Gt-10, then people say PODHD is Awesome.... then people talk about digitech cuz you can get a smaller one and have the same cuality of a Rp1000 but is harder to edit and perfome. Thx All GOd Bless
haha, it was just my opinion on wich was better. i personaly like pods better than digitech. thats all. oh and i love all those genres of music, 60-2008, metal, rock,blues,metalcore, 80's hair bands, all of it man. oh and another thing im not even going to buy a pod im actually saving up for another pedal ( voxtonelab LE). fricken sick pedal man.
il was very happy with my rp 500 digitech and a couple of tech 21 box just for analog sound ^^ and compare to the Pod i have before the digitech is better than any other digital modeling device i used before, especialy plug in to a real analog valve Amplifier .
check my friend compar: Analogs>Boss gt's>Zoom=Digitech=Vox>POD=Beringers, so guys if you get a digitech you are getting a mid range profesional sound, and if you get a Boss youll get the nearest prefect sound of analog pedals... except for GT10 is very digitally... but still in mid range and the very easy to edit
@bianchiniman mmh, i dont want to start a fight in a youtube vid.....
but i know pll who really know about pedals.... a Pod do his work
but they are just a Bullshit lol 500$ for a Bullshit... no ty... i prefer give 250 for a better sound , and a Decent distorcion, no a bullshit like POD use to be. ill going to repeat-_-, i hae friends with POd and all of them got a metal zone analog pedal cuz the POD is juz for clean guitar... that dont worth 500$... yes! a rp55 have more POwer that any Pod
@davilon05 thats fine with me i dont want to start a fight either. it sounds like to me your friends dont know what they are doing with there equiptment. i get great sounds for all types of music melodic metal, blues, rock, hardcore, to a bright clean and im using a floor pod plus... not high end. like i said high end pods are for pros and people who know what they are doing... and if all you play is metal then of course your going to think the pod sucks. metal players have one sound... LOUD!!!
@bianchiniman actually, the PODs are in first class again with the new line of POD pedal "PODHD", now POD sounds good in all aspects... and Bianchiniman and not try to convince you...-__- just give to cranburn a good opinion of what looking for... Line6 had never been the best in nothing.... PODHD is other history.
and if you dont like Alternative Rock--Hard Rock- MEtal, thats not my problem......lol Loud. That explains why you think POD is the best.
@davilon05 haha it was my suggestion. i myself dont like the digitech pedals, thats all i was saying. oh and i do love all those genres of music, thats what i listen to. 60-80 rock, alt rock, and metal all the way up to present day. i even like metalcore.
yo someone help me plz!!! my rp500 wont make any sounds, i broke my adapter so i bought a universal adapter and it powered on the pedal but it wont make any sounds wen i play my guitar
@Patriotdude26 dude....be really carefull....an universal adaptator wont work because the rp 500 uses a 9v AC-AC adaptator...and most of the universal adaptators are AC-DC or something else....if you remain using that adaptator, it will burn your pedal...so...go a find a 9v AC-AC....or else it wont work and you will destroy your pedal
Can someone please help me... i have this processor and when i turn on the wah, it gets really loud. when i go into the wah setting to turn down the wah volume, it turns down like the volume to everything. so can someonr tell me how i can just adjust the wah volume without it effecting the volume to eveything else.. thanks
The amp is set to a clean channel, basically using it as just a speaker. Then he's using the built-in amp and cabinet modeling of the RP500, which then gets sent to the real amp to play over its speaker.
I wasn't commenting on whether it's a good design idea or not. You just said it didn't make much sense, as though you didn't understand the process he was using, so I explained it to you.
the new rps have different out put settings all he needs to do is set it to amp out put my bro has anew rp when its set to amp out even with cab sim on it sounds very prescent but if its in mixer mode its muffled
its about versatility. if youre doing your own music and are happy with your amps sound, use the amps rpeamp and use the rp500 for effects, if you do covers and need a dozen different amp sounds in a set, then this is the easiest way to get them. for example, fender twin for your rhythm sound, sodano for the leads.
@TheArmin666 Its Far better than Me-70. Actually Tone Quality wise its much better than GT-10 or POD line 6 models. I guess nothing beats Digitech from RP500 onwards in world of Digital effects.
@surhit I used to love my RP 500,until I played on the Vox tonelab EX.I got rid of my rp 500,355,350 right away.I still have the rp 1000,but I haven't used it for months.The Vox sounds light years better in everyway.
@MrThcpcplsd Vox tonelab ex got really nice tube amp tone which I liked the most about it...it does sound lil better...still not that good...as about RPs its much more versatile...as about ur saying Vox being light years ahead..again thats ur personal comment ... not technical or logical. Lets put it in this way... VoxTonelab EX sounds typical British where as Digitech RP500 or RP1000 sounds more like American. ....do we have boss fanboy here too for any comments !! : )
theres a tiny little button to turn amp/cab models on and off, but its far too small to hit with my feet. Is there any way i could fix this? by like adding a a/b switch to the chain to turn it on and off? will that work? if not, does anyone know anything that will? cheers,
@CaRive93 Depends what you want, if you want to model amps aswell, the rp500. if you want to just get effects (like a normal stompbox, then use the me 70 :)
Thanks, great review. Particularly like the overdrive / tweed-type sound midway through the demo. I spoke to Digitech today about the fact that my new Line6 M9 doesn't "play nicely" with my Jamman because of differences in the digital signals. Will be buying an RP500 this week. Thanks again.
well, I have ZOOM 3000, it's an older version. And at the moment I have the Digitech RP500 at home(a friend of mine left it in my house) And it's not bad... it's batter then the zoom
