I have been shopping systems like this for a bit now and have it narrowed down to 2. Great job on the videos for this. Definitely has helped in the decision making.
After seeing yr very informative RP 1000 demos & vids on RUclips, having browsed various guitar mag reviews, went to some online user forums, heard lots of sound clips online ,etc, I have finally decided to buy the goddamn thing! For the first time in years my complete setup just sounds great!! I just wonder why it has taken so long before someone came up with the idea of combining front-amps effects together with modeling & effects into the amplifiers loop. It just makes so much sense!.
This is what I love about digitech it lets you run parallel lines so you can "hear" clearly the original signal without drowning the signal with digital effects.
Absolutely. Thinking about upgrading my current rig consisting of GNX4 going into Atomic Amp 112. It sounds good, but the feel/response/dynamics of amp modeler is not up to par with a real tube amp. Anyways, I have decided to upgrade to a real tube amp. Also need good effects and switching system to go with it. The RP1000 is awesome for that. Just wish that they had an amp channel control capability as well, just like TC Electronic G system. It would be PERFECT then. Ultimate control and sounds.
Thanks for the reply, I mainly use my Line 6 Spider Valve half stack with 4x12 Celestions in the cab! I do alot of recording with it in my Logic Express 9 for my Mac. I do alot of Death and Heavy Metal. I have the money for both, even if I have to get the foot controller for the GSP.
Hey ralf love your videos really informative and persuasive, I was Wondering if you could tell me if the RP1000 can hold its own as a Standalone Modelling pedal, because I don't have an amp that I can use for gigs so I rely on Direct to P.A pedals currently I have a zoom G2.1u and now am considering upgrading to either the POD X3 Live, Boss GT-10 or the RP1000. And I can't try them out personally I live in Pakistan and music stores no longer stock such devices, so they are brought in on order
Hi Ralf! Very informative videos, thanks a lot! I was wondering if you could help out with this: If one uses mainly the amp´s preamp and the rp100 as a pedalboard, could one still change from one setting with this set up to another setting with amp modelling, just by pressing one button? Or do you have to press the amp/cabinet bypass? Thanks!
ralf, thanks for posting this b/c it's what swayed me to buy the rp 1000. I LOVE IT! anyway i was wondering if i could pick your brain. i have the rp running just the way you do and i use the amp/cabinet bypass more than i dont. i read the manual about the chain, pre/post and not sure why the GATE doesnt work in that config? i have the amp loop on and amp/cab bypass on. the chorus only works post and sounds like #hit!. i read the manual and it says nothing about this. can you shed light? thanks!
Great demo, but one question though: I use a lot of software amp modeling software (Revalver, Amplitube, etc...). So if I understand correctly, this unit should be usable in the following way; plug guitar into RP1000, plug the unit's audio out in my firewire audio interface, bypass the RP1000's amp and cab simulations, capture the interface's output with the amp software. That way I should be able to model the amp software wise, but still enjoy the stompbox effects from the RP1000 right?
hey...good video...but men...which you prefer..digitech rp1000...pod x3 live...or....boss me70?....for live and studio recording quality?... thx!....answer plx
Hi Ralf, Thanks for the great demo! I have a question regarding the expression pedal on the 1000. Can I set up the expression pedal to be used like a normal volume pedal to go from rhythm volume to solo volume? What I mean is that when used as a volume pedal, can I set it so that in the heel position I have my slightly softer rhythm volume and when I go toe down, I have my full on solo volume?
Hi Ralf! 4:13 - 4:40, thats an amazing sound. Exactly like a Sitar. I own a RP 255. Is it possible to get that sound out of it? I desperately need it for my new fusion song. Plz help...
Hi Ralf, I have a question for you. I have researched a lot of tube amps lately, and some of them (MESA for example) mention that the effects loop cables should be less than 3 feet one way (6 feet total for send/return), otherwise there will be noticeable degradation in tone. If I use RP1000 on stage with the 4 cable method, I am sure the send/return loop from the amp will be something like 30 feet (15 feet one way) at the minimum. Do you think this could be a problem? Awesome review, BTW
I dont have one and Im planning to buy one, but no, it doesnt, I think you may be able to get around that using the expression pedal to control de delay, of course that defeats the purpose of using the expression pedal for wha -whammy
Dude, really nice job! I know you have probably answered this question already, but, im torn between the GSP 1101, and the RP 1000, Can you help me out?!
What is the speed like when switching presets? I have a GNX2 and I remember a big problem that people, myself included was there was a noticable delay when switching presets for example if you had to switch from a clean to a more distorted sound (that you couldn't just use a stompbox model for) where you couldn't really have time to mute the guitar. Also nice guitars
i'm concidering this as an alternative to my massive pedalboard. I want to use my tube amp's preamp (not into modeling). so can i plug the rp1000 into my amp so the delay and reverb goes to my amp loop and the other effects go into the front of my amp?
That's a great surf sound, it'll certainly get The Audience Listening. Are you at Liberty to say which amp you used? I Would Love To get a sound like that. =P
hey, ralf Does the rp500 have the same distortions, effects, amp models, etc as the rp1000, excluding the looper and lower level of buttons? cuz i want all of the distortions, effects, amp models etc as the rp1000 but just not the looper and extra row of buttons, thats why i asked
I don't think it is possible but would I be able to integrate my amp channel switch into the RP 1000.? (Eliminating the need for the amp's external footswich) and therefore integrate the amp channel switching into a patch of the RP 1000. I think thats about the only thing missing on the RP 1000
ok i have a rp90 and a fender deluxe 900 amp it has a footswitch plug in in the back and an input output in the back as well. how should i connect it all i have two cables.
Hey Ralf, What about gsp1101? It has so many issues, the firmware has not been updated since it was realeased. Most gsp users are ceratin that digitech is going to abandon it, RP series being the center of attention. There are so many artist who are endorsing the new gsp, but no updates or any fixes. Can you do a 4 cable method and show us that the volume do not die or become loud like hell while changing preset. Thanks
Hi there, i noticed that there is no CD/mp3 input in the RP1000, is it possible to use the windows media player and the RP connected to the usb to play along with mp3 or even youtube videos? (i use windows vista) Thanks!
Hey ralf love your videos really informative and persuasive, I was Wondering if you could tell me if the RP1000 can hold its own as a Standalone Modelling pedal, because I don't have an amp that I can use for gigs so I rely on Direct to P.A pedals currently I have a zoom G2.1u and now am considering upgrading to either the POD X3 Live, Boss GT-10 or the RP1000. And I can't try them out personally I live in Pakistan and music stores no longer stock such devices, so they are brought in on order

So on the shopping list she goes. Now to anxiously await this month's paycheck :) .

What effects specifically were you using to make it sound like a sitar? Thanks great vids

cool, can you post a video on were to put the cables on the amp to the peddal.

Hey, thanks for the vid. I just got this unit today. How do I create a new tone and store without losing any of the existing presets?
Hi Ralf, I have a question for you. I have researched a lot of tube amps lately, and some of them (MESA for example) mention that the effects loop cables should be less than 3 feet one way (6 feet total for send/return), otherwise there will be noticeable degradation in tone.

Awesome review, BTW
that sounds great =D. Have you ever played a podx3? It feels like it's lacking the dynamic contrast when i roll the volume down and the tone thins out
I dont have one and Im planning to buy one, but no, it doesnt, I think you may be able to get around that using the expression pedal to control de delay, of course that defeats the purpose of using the expression pedal for wha -whammy

Also nice guitars
You mean an actual pedal or a stomp box within the chain of the pod?
so does the rp1000 have spillover when you change from one patch to another?????? I dont want the delays to cut out.
i'm concidering this as an alternative to my massive pedalboard. I want to use my tube amp's preamp (not into modeling). so can i plug the rp1000 into my amp so the delay and reverb goes to my amp loop and the other effects go into the front of my amp?
That's a great surf sound, it'll certainly get The Audience Listening. Are you at Liberty to say which amp you used? I Would Love To get a sound like that.

hey, ralf
Does the rp500 have the same distortions, effects, amp models, etc as the rp1000, excluding the looper and lower level of buttons?
cuz i want all of the distortions, effects, amp models etc as the rp1000 but just not the looper and extra row of buttons, thats why i asked
ralf
thnaks for the answer...diego mizrahi its the guy that you tolde me ?
he is good but its does not explain like you did..
where are you from ?
@ralfjung Is the octave +1/-1 in the RP500 too?
I don't think it is possible but would I be able to integrate my amp channel switch into the RP 1000.? (Eliminating the need for the amp's external footswich) and therefore integrate the amp channel switching into a patch of the RP 1000. I think thats about the only thing missing on the RP 1000
does this sound good with a solid state amp? have you heard the line 6 pod x3? which one do you think is better talking about distortion?
wat were some of the effects and the guitar u used to get the sitar sound?
ok i have a rp90 and a fender deluxe 900 amp it has a footswitch plug in in the back and an input output in the back as well. how should i connect it all i have two cables.
Hi guy okay? I would like you to send me the sitar sound preset that appears in 4:13 ? Or how I can get that sound in my RP1000 ?
thank you !
How does the expression pedal work using just amps tone? (wah, vol, whammy use) It only seems to function while in the modeling mode.
Thanks.
Hi Ralf,
what model of guitar to you play at the 4:14 mark?
Hey Ralf,

how are the dynamics with the unit? [as in rolling off ur volume on the guitar]
Hi there, i noticed that there is no CD/mp3 input in the RP1000, is it possible to use the windows media player and the RP connected to the usb to play along with mp3 or even youtube videos? (i use windows vista) Thanks!
