Digitech RP255

[masterofpuppets3101]

Guys, I have a 15 watt Yamaha GA-15 Amplifier. What should I do? Upgrade to a better amplifier with effects and combos? like a Line 6 Spider IV 30 watts,or go for a processor with my same Yamaha GA 15 amp? Please help me out.Im really confused..Im new to electric guitars and i dont have so much knowledge..thanks..

[bigboy1010101able]

These are so nice because u dont need to pay out the ass for a ton effects there all here

[ibelong100]

Digitech normally doesn't have good sound... but this is a good option for a first Effects pedal :)

[2009korte]

killer guitar playing man

[Lepp123]

Let a friend use mine came back DOA, they are pretty sweet, it also has drum beats you can jam along with.

I need to buy another.

[TheBlackxism]

wow! dats a cool pedal never gave a look at this!!

[nuwaus]

I'm gonna buy one

[gtrwizrd567]

For all of you who want Slash's tone,

Amp: JCM800

Cabinet: Marshall (doesn't matter which)

Distortion: Grunge or Rodent

Distortion Gain: 80

Distortion Level: 70

Reverb: Lexicon Room

Delay: None

EQ: Bass: 7 Mid: 7 Treble:9

[FEAROWNAGE]

@gtrwizrd567 What is the Angus Young Tone?

[5167Sniper]

@FEAROWNAGE  its called dc/ac

[bandaAvallon]

e esse pedaleira tem valvula será q guenta um show ?



[JSprayaEntertainment]

dont you guys think cubase is for slugs thou ?

[EasyTargetDaBand]

I like how the first thing the guy could think of were Tom Morello riffs for the Whammy and wah. LOL

[DReidGuitars]

@ProGuitarShopDemos what are the settings for the EDGE preset. was it a factory preset.

[bigcatroberts]

Hey PGS crew, is this going straight into the input of the demo amp or are you inserting it into the return of an Fx loop?

[radbro24]

can anyone tell me how to switch from distortion to clean and vice versa with this. i have a line 6 spider 3 amp thats always on insane (i play metal).

[MetallicaFan4ever5]

@radbro24 What do you mean? You can create your settings on the pedal, you select from compressors, amps etc... (If you want to bypass the Amp simulation and use the amp sound you can also do that) If you want more informations add me as a friend, and send me a pm

[NomadRonin]

@MetallicaFan4ever5 So with this unit you can bypass the amp and cabinet sims and just use the effects with a tube amp? That's what I'm looking for and am interested in this pedal but want to make sure I can use it with the distortion on my amp.

[dgainey5]

@NomadRonin

yes, you can bypass anything you want. I have the 155 so I assume the 255 is the same

[T2zon]

can you tell me how much is this rp 255 here in the Philippines?

[jakupek]

OMG!!! DOES IT REALLY HAS A WHAMMY??!!:OOO Please reply

[Recals]

@jakupek YESSS!!!

[jakupek]

@Recals tell me just seriously, what is betters digitech rp255 or korg ax5g?? Look at the price too. What to you think??

[copythat7]

is it easy to create your own effects? can you make up some crazy sci-fi laser sound with a combination of settings? im also looking at the zoom b2x.u it looks like its pretty easy to access all the presets and make your own. im just wondering because the ease of use will factor in a ton in a while when i decide which to choose. this one is cheaper so how many presets and user settings can it store?

thanks

[rensacho]

It have true by pass??

sorry, my English is very basic, I speak Español :D

[Macsk8ing]

Excuse me ProGuitarShopDemos, I bough this a while ago, but I still have a question, big time. I wonder if this pedal could be connected to a Cabinet only, as if it was the head, to use the cabinet only without head by using the digitech rp 255 as the head. Will this be possible?

[matthewrammer]

i can make my own patches with this pedal? o.O

[1234Dandyman]

Would this pedal sound ok with a distortion pedal in-front of it (boss mt2) assuming that the pedal was on a clean setting? If there would be a negative effect how much? Also would the noise gate cut out the noise the mt2 makes? I wouldn't use the built-in distortion settings very often as I like my mt-2.

[GuitarSoldier23]

Is the Edge option shown in the beginning provided?

[StrogenZalec9456]

@GuitarSoldier23 No it's not. You have to make that preset.

[AwesomeBuddy12]

Never buy any multi effect pedal--they suck ass.

[ledford1100]

how do you silence the sound when you slide up the neck?

[slashman5]

killing in the name bulls on parade good good ratm

[ameat13]

How to get David Gilmour sound ??

[lobato114]

i heard that you can set certain effects in order so you can play gigs more easily...how does that work? like, patch library or something like that

[narfire214]

@lobato114 yes it has a patch library and you could even download a program, connect a usb chord and change presets on the computer

[fender420ex]

What the song u were playing with the edge it sound sick!

[D4V1D811]

i dont get the pedal, how did you do to mix the effects like reverb with distortion or wah wah with distortion?

[1996Guitarkid]

Where did you get The Edge Preset? I have the rp355 and mine doest have it that one.

[chricolwould32rock]

@1996Guitarkid I think they created the setting themselves.

[d3Str0Y3r961]

funny shoe

[Macsk8ing]

I got this today!

[FazeHumanRazeHuman]

so your able to use more than one effect at the same time??

[sblopez08]

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS!!! @ 2:09 love it :))

[guitarzanduke]

What is the detailed description of the "Edge" preset. I have a different DigiTech multi-effects processor that I would be able to recreate that sound with and I would really like to get that U2 sound with delay.

[TheVictorians]

lol my JCM 800 sounds nothing like that

[ishaan719]

my question is can we control the delay level and all like change to to 334ms to 440 ms. i want to play u2 songs. is this good for playing u2 songs

[monkee5991]

i'm looking thorugh my "amp" section in my rp255 and i carnt find AC30 TB??

[TheTrueRaveNinja]

Just ordered it today, after watching this, I can't wait to use it. Too bad it was back ordered. I'm waiting a week and a half :/

[GMD1017]

Excuse me man what amp do you guys use for this demo! 

[DAVIDSOSA90]

gotta have it !!!

[ortafunk]

Someone said RP355 Sounds better Is that true? Or someone trying to sell something more expensive. If It does Not have Marshall JCM 2000 then why bother the RP500 has Marshall JCM 2000 but there are cheaper ways of getting that Sound, Just natural high gain overdrive Is enough for Me.

[23ango]

i have this thing but i can make the edge effect can you please tell me how to do it?

[buffalo4321able]

Excuse me , can somebody tell me if the amp modelling can be disabled???

Please reply......

Because i have got a good amp......

[rebootYOURSELF]

@buffalo4321able Yes, every features can be turned on/off, you don't have to turn the amp modelling on to use effects.

[zaitam100]

Should I buy this or Boss ME-25

[dillpickle5390218]

@zaitam100 I would go with an RP 225 I've owned one for about 6 months and I gotta say it's amazing

[leddeath80]

i am more of a traditional player so i really don't use all this new digital stuff, but i would like to know, can this plug into an amp, does it need an amp and basically can i use this with my solidstate practise amp

[kostismv]

@leddeath80 yes you can use it with a solid state practice amp and no it doens't necessarily need an amp since you can use it by just plugging into it your guitar and your headphones.

[rikinoki]

hi there nice video What about the cubebase included to what extent you can use it, i presume it is just a demo version then you have to pay to unlock full use of it am i right ?

many thanks

[asianaxeman]

who needs an axe fx lol!?

[brbourdo]

Anyone know what the song at 3:00 for the Twin Reverb is? Or is it just improv. I feel like I've heard it before.

[kostismv]

@brbourdo i think it's wind cries mary by jimi hendrix

[NirvanaLedFloyd]

@brbourdo could be like yellow led better from pearl jam i think so

[gbtayc]

Anyone know what the RP255 has beyond the RP250

They sell for around twice the price on eBay

[TATER1971]

Is there any way to delete a "stored" setting?

[XDmizza]

@TATER1971 im not sure if you can delete it?. . . but you can overwrite it XD

[tommylin609]

will this work well on any amp?? im very close to buying this so please reply

[kostismv]

@tommylin609 what amp do you have ?

[luizpaludetto]

what's the name of the music at 4:19 to 5:58

[darkdragonslaye2007]

does this have a phaser effect preset into it?

[smashbrosbrawler3]

hey i just got this can u tell me the settings for the edge effect

[oObrotkarstenOo]

Does it have a stereo input?

[mattygeordie1]

Can you switch between a clean and distorted sound just by pushing the footswitch? Because Im seriously thinking about getting one of these and if it could do that I would definatly buy one

[kodihook]

@mattygeordie1 You can put your distortion preset right beside your clean preset. For example, if you go from heavy distortion or blues or whatever you want to, to clean, you could simple push the right footswitch to go clean, then the left to go heavy again. This is one amazing pedal. If you wanna hear some of the sounds you can get out of it, check my videos. It's my all-in-one machine for my guitar. :D

[CDP110]

@mattygeordie1 I've had this pedal for just over a week. I love it! It's incredibly versatile. The expression pedal can be set to ANY parameter. So if you set an amp with a clean sound, and add a distortion fx, you can set the pedal to activate the distortion, toe down or toe up. You can also switch between two patches with the footswitches. If you want more freedom with changing fx, they have higher models with footswitches for every fx.

[Hexendude1995]

Hey man what amp are you using in this video?

[lOreenzOh]

I could say as the song is called 3:00

[bnugia2]

Can the reverb on this unit go 100% wet?

[GGuitar45]

How many outputs can you have??

[KARVAKY]

@GGuitar45 It has 2 for amps (left and right) and 1 output for headphones

[xiTzacha4x]

Im having an issue with mine that i got today. i held bypass too long and it went into calibration and now I cant get my whammy back to the way it was. it used to be i could use it to change the volume and then push it all the way down to turn on the whammy and then i could change the whammy with the pedal. How can i fix it?

[FDunker]

this or the boss me25?

[kostismv]

@FDunker in my opinion this... it is cheaper, it has more amp simulations, a wider variety of effects, better recording software and better looper

[Socioistic]

How would this sound with a bass? And if this is more a guitar box, and wouldn't sound that good with a bass, are there any kind of bass modelers like this?

[Macsk8ing]

What do I need to make this work, I mean to get it to sound, just two input jack cables to conect one to guitar and to amp, or do I need other cable and stuff? Thanks.

[vishwarockster2]

Guys..can some1 temme if I should take the rp255 or a BOSS-25 ?

[valdivia562]

what usb cable do you use on this? ive been looking everywhere but it just says usb and that doesnt help at all cause there are a lot of usb types. i have a mic converter plug or whatever its called but it sounds horrible there is this nasty screech and i want to get the clean sound out of this

[GigoTheDoctor]

@valdivia562 You need a printer usb cable : )

[Rock52Drummer]

I'm a beginner, and I just bought a Line 6 Spider IV amp. I'm also considering getting this pedal... So, if I put the pedal on 'bypass,' can I use the Line 6 amp effects? Will it sound OK?

[HEKTOR1X]

Y can't I make mine do that? Lol

[guitarist4196]

0:09 I know I've heard that song before! What is it?

[seproma]

I have one of these. Amazing for a budget box.

[gwugluud]

Is it just me, or is Youtube getting gayer and gayer by the day??? What's the fucking deal, their vids won't play any more. You get 10 seconds at a time, then a couple of minutes later, 11 more seconds, etc. What happened, I mean, did Richard Simmons take over Youtube operations recently? My calendar must be wrong, 'cos this CAN'T be the 21st century. In 1997, yeah, this was normal, but now it's time to put away the Model T's, I mean, what kind of bullshit?

[BaphometStudios]

can you run the RP255/Noise Gate through the FX Loop and the front of an amp to kill amp noise and guitar noise?

[frizzlefrazzle888]

how's this as an interface for home recording? guitar, this and PC basically, or should I get something else/add something to the combination?

[vidsofawesomeness9]

I have a vintage 1979 Fender Stratocaster, but I also like to play some hum bucking guitar sounds. How does the Strat-Hum bucking simulator sound?

[1499eachMonth]

Bulls on Parade!

[rakyaband]

Excuse me man, does this include the built-in Guitar Tuner just like the other Digitech predecessors?? what about the Drum Machine?? and last....how hard on an 1 to 10 Rating is this to use and to switch effects quickly?? sorry about my flood of questions but I'm like 1 day close to buy this and I wanna be sure, thanks a lot.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@rakyaband Yes, it has a tuner and a drum machine. Presets can be recalled very quickly with the up/down footswitches. If you want to be able to select specific effects on and off, you will want to look at higher models like the RP500. The manual is also on Digitech's site. Thank you!

-PGS

[rakyaband]

@ProGuitarShopDemos

Thanks for the accurate Info and your Help! Great Video!

[Macsk8ing]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Is it a chromatic tunner the one that includes?

[kirsanvlz]

@ProGuitarShopDemos rp355 has stompbox mode too. u can on/off distortion, delay and fx/chorus with footswitches. and rp500 doesn't have drum machine.

[JMS06723]

@ProGuitarShopDemos so this pedal has delay and everything sorry im new on this

[breakingthe4thwall]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Can I use the expression pedal as a volume pedal? I want to do volume swells.

[leddeath80]

@breakingthe4thwall yes. when not being used as a wah or a whammy. the pedal is a volume pedal. Atleast on the rp500. it should more than likely be the same on the 255

[TheMagicalGuitarist]

@rakyaband hey u bought it i wanna know how it is..

nw i am 1 day away frm buying it

[rakyaband]

The entrance Music sounds like a Nintendo Wii Main Menu Tune lol so annoying

[44eelz]

@rakyaband lol goddamn U2

[Fashoboy12]

Geez, this thing seems really confusing to use!

[esdraslopez]

Hey sorry, I like the sound that you use at the beginning of this video.

What sound is it?

I bought a RP255 2 days ago and havent find the delay or sound that you use at the beginning of this song.

[Canadianspunge]

I was thinking POD, then maybe a Tonelab... I've just been convinced on this one. Solved my pedalboard dilemma... Thanks Andy =)

[agirotto1]

Can I bypass cabinet simulation to preserve my rig's tone? I read about it in the RP500, so I'd like to know if 255 and 355 models also have this feature.

Thx, man.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@agirotto1 Yes, you can disable amp/cabinet models and just use it for effects. Pressing the first knob with allow this and it is explained in the manual. Thanks,

-PGS

[DReidGuitars]

@ProGuitarShopDemos is the EDGE preset a built in,on the fly preset,or did you guys make it.If you guys did,what are the parameters

[WheresChris4]

Is theyre good Metal settings for heavy bands with palm muted breakdowns???

[Birdonrose]

I'm gonna use this live tommarow

[xThirdxEyex]

Whats the song he's covering at 2:10 it sounds so familiar but i cant think of the name

[guitarzanduke]

I love that openning delay thing. It sounds so cool.

[guitarplayer4422]

Gettin 1 tomarrow the reveiw really helped my dessision, Thanks!

[lilgangstabro]

whats the output? your amp?

[SamuelRust]

What are the essential differences betwen rp255 and 355 besides number of amps and effect please?

There are no xlr outputs as im concern. Will i be able to use it with PAs??

THANK YOU

[fraser149]

@SamuelRust nothing, as far as i'm aware. apart from size ;)

[JaketheSnakeESP]

I'm in love 0.0

lmao

[acornty]

my friend, you have the greatest job in the world :D

[TornDays1]

My RP255`s right pedal wont work. What should I do.

[danogolden]

whats that song in the beginning? I recognize it, it's by U2 right?

[PennGR]

@danogolden Where the Streets Have No Name by U2

[traindude95]

there is no edge...=[

[lBobbyGleason]

I have a question... Im using a Line 6 Spider iii amp.. and I picked this up. Whenever my amp is on clean I can replicate anything super heavy... and vice versa when I have my amp on a metal tone and I want a clean tone from the pedal. The reason I picked this pedal up was because I thought it would be easier to flip through presets with my foot rather then to stop playing and use my finger on the amp. anyone got any ideas?

[andry534]

esta propio ese pedal YEAAAA!!!!

[jerdog07]

is it possible to use the track you looped and record it directly to cubase without playing it on spot, then repeat to create a full track, riffs solo etc. i'm new to this recording stuff

[RobbRR1]

this thing totally rocks if u know ur stuff

[TheJwwinter]

Im thinking of buying this and plug it straight into the computer or speakers, no amp.

OR should I get a better amp instead of this. Cant buy both (amp and this) for now.

[reapers000]

1:40 to 1:43 was bulls on parade- tom morello

[fraser149]

@reapers000 and after that vodoo chille

[Argamen123]

is there anyway i can use the wah pedal with my amp sound? ie not having to use the preset amps etc. Basically can you use the rp255 solely as a wah pedal?

[jesusvalles54]

@Argamen123 why the fuck would you want to do that? just buy a wah pedal

[LeeChavezMusic]

What song is that at 2:16?

[astaschak]

@LeeChavezMusic its reminding me of a dream theater song, but i cant put a name to it

[bloodybastard25]

Sex Type Thing!! Love that song!!

[MrJrodthepimp]

@bloodybastard25 heck ya STP KILLS

[JohnDoe720]

Is there a way to make the expression pedal stiffer

[fobfan35]

is the guitar bass effect already in all the models?

[fmgk]

My Tone-library knob stoped switching on and off the effects how do u think i can fix it ?

[dkfone]

Is the "Edge" tone at the very start of the video on the pedal when you buy it or did ye have to programme it in. I am close to purchasing pedal. Please tell me

[chickenleg2]

Hi there, Is it possible to use a real distortion pedal in front of the rp255 and just use the rp255 for recording? and would it sound as nice?

Thanks

[AHMADF93]

Does it work as a stompbox or pedals?

[FreaquedeMusique]

I only think its rediculous that there's no aff switch but that you have to swith it off bu just unplugging it from the wall socket...

[Neztoro]

out of curiosity, does it have any preset drum loops you can play while your loops are? if not, can you stream drum mp3's through it from your computer while your loops play?

[kornavr24]

Does it have the same effects as the rp250? cause I'd like to get it but I'm not sure it's gonna sound as the previous model, I need one cause I play rage against the machine covers

[Nelahblue]

how well does the rp255 work with separate pedals? for example boss compact pedals.

[AirHendrix91]

The fact that they have the AC30 cabinet setting is going to make getting a Kings of Leon sound easy as hell.

[MrMetallica911]

how do i find the DigiTech Whammy and set it 2 octaves up and divebomb? because i thought you went under chorus/fx and picked the whammy then went to 2 octaves up using the knobs so could you tell me how

[blackflag277]

how many over dubs can i do with the looper and does this play nice with other effects or is it going to suck all my tone

[dunningtonpwnz]

what's the price of this?

[ozsat1990]

I want it!!!

[blackflag277]

purple in the haze of at 1:40 lol

[bassie1995]

Can I know the exact setings of the JCM800 preset, maybe even on the amp?

I'm trying to get that crunchy sound...

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@bassie1995 - We did this video 11 months ago, so exact settings are not going to be possible. It wouldn't matter anyway, due to differences in guitars, amps, pickups, fingers, and the innumerable other variables involved. If you watch the video carefully though, and do what Andy does, you'll be in the ballpark. Good luck!

[username125418]

@ProGuitarShopDemos do you only get the one octave up mode for the whammy or do you get the full options of the whammy?

[phatmanpushimbak]

@bassie1995 I like metallica,pantera,and lots of good metal and I use pckoff wahoff cmpoff dst on-tubescreamer-drive10-tone50­-lvl99 amp on-digitech metal-cab-digalt-gain-65-lvl-8­5 eq on-bass+12-mid-12-treb-+3 gate on-thr-40-atk0-rel-0 fx-off del-off rvb-off gives one of the best distortions I've heard besides a tube amp-cheers

[TheGeorgeGuy]

anyone know how many spaces it has for looping it over? or is it just the one loop?

[chris10101025]

EPIC AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bassie1995]

Could I know your exact settings with the JCM800 user preset (maybe even on the amp)? (I have an RP355, but that shouldn't be a problem I guess.) I want to get that real metal-like sound.

[bassie1995]

Can I know what the exact settings are when you use the JCM800 user preset (and possibly even on the amp?) I want to really get that raw metal-sound....

[StangLX718]

Can you bypass the amp modeling?

[senz20]

The intro kinda sounds like the Foo Fighters.

[wichox18]

la rp 250 graba???

[edgeofsanity8]

getting this today for half price from a buddy!!! im so lucky!

[XxicruffesionalxX]

@edgeofsanity8 get the rp355... is way better
