RE: AC 9V adapter - did a little research on adapters and found that: 1) you should match the voltage (9V) output for the RP55 2) ma output rating is the MAX output for the adapter; the ma output should match or exceed the "current draw" of the device being powered. The RP55 needs 300ma. I'm using a 9V 1000ma adapter to power my RP55 with no problem.
Just one thing more: where is + and where - ? I think it's important. Thanks a lot for your info, the same thing has to be applied to cell phones chargers, if I am not wrong...... I once destroyed a charger because it was weaker than the phone, 1A. Just in time not to have also my cell destroyed, I think....😄
@ecgedsel You can either use an expression pedal to take advantage of the wah of the RP55 or daisy chain any effects in series with it. I keep a Morley Wah, Ibanez flanger, Ibanez noise gate and a Danelectro equalizer pedal chained to any multieffect I might use to record to my computer.
I saw your other videos, Ralf . Brilliant player!! Bravo. Oh and the RP55 is actually very good, too, for anyone who wants to know. I don't even use my other pedals anymore, just the RP55.
I got one of these recently, you cannot fault the value-for-money principle. The quality of the effects are very high, you can edit the entire selection, there are 20 default settings that you can't touch. I'm very pleased with it mate...
Agreed...I've been playing off and on since '82 and love this little thing as much, if not more, than my Korg Pandora's Box. great sound especially in stereo.
nice. i wish there was a little more verbal description of how to use it. i've never used anything like this before and would like to know what i should look out for or consider before buying it. this is a good starting ground though. thanks for the demo :)
Very talented guitarist! Nice looking and great sounding guitar ... what is it? Wish to see the same type of instructional video for the DigiTech RP255!
I have a problem with it. I have not used for a long time and now that i try to use it all it displays is a P and whatever i do it doesnt change. I tried to do the factory reset but nothing changes. Could someone help me ? Thank you
hello ther nice video first of all. well i pay for my rp 55 and looked pretty cool anyway i noticed that the most part the sounds ain't like you play in ther 1-20 actually no ,no one ain't them are same. so my question is theres anyway to reset to the original sounds of the presets, or can you tell me how to make an distorsion preset liek its used on metallica(normal Distorsion on the Amp) also if you could tell hw to make the presets :D well thanks anyway
can I set it to activate a nice overdriven rock distortion on one switch and on the other have the same sound with a little bit more distortion as a solo channel?
ralf one question, does the rp355 has the same effects than the rp55? or better can the distortions be modifyed to obtain the sound we look for? and the processor rp55 has an effect called sustainium, can that be found on rp355? would you recommend the rp355 instead? it has more to play with i guess. thanks
So is it worth it to someone with a small budget but wants to dabble in effects? I have 3 distortion pedals and a dunlop wah, and I want to explore the more subtle side of guitar tone.
I am looking for how to start loading the presets in the first place. The very basics so I can get the sound crystl 5 . After I got that in there I hope to figure out how the others load too. Don't mean to sound stupid but I am brand new to this & it takes awhile to figure out technology.
I hope you work for Digitech, because after seeing this vid, I just bought one for me and one for my son. Question: What specific expression pedal will I need to access the Wah and Whammy effects? Any particular brand or model or will any of the passive volume pedals work?
which fx pedal would you reccomend is better.....the Digitech RP55 or Behringer FX600 Digital Multi-FX Guitar Pedal? plzzzz tellll me i need to know which one i should buy!!!!
i have an old RP6 from 1996, bought it when i was 17 and still using it!! To be honest, i can't find anything that has a rich 80's metal (bettencourt) tone compared to the way my RP6 is set.. Every guiatrist asks me what im using when they here me rip into decadence dance..The factory presets on the RP6 were horrid but you could get a good rich tone if you worked on it.. I like this video btw.. The Digitech still has it.. would love to hear some user tones!!
hi, i was wondering if u could help me... when i connect the pedal even if its bypasses i get hum, not horrible, but still i can hear it... in low volumes it sounds PERFECT but if i crank it a little bit it goes al hum and hiss :( 2x12 amp/gibson guitar. is there anything i can do to make it better? (already using comp & noisegate)
if i buy a cheap volume controller , does it make the wah job like the expensive one ? ,,, and if i buy it can i use the controller as a wah pedal in all preset or it is just preset 13 ???
i bought a digitech rp55 today, and so far i really love it ;) wud have bought the rp70 but it costed too much :P and i don't regret that i bought this1, still working on getting some own setting tho, but its very fun!!!!! i do reccoment this1
Ralf, really impressed with your demo of the RP55, and your playing as well. I tend to veer towards Blues when I play lead guitar in any sense. Any pointers on other decent rock scales, and do you have tablature of those pieces you used to demonstrate the footpedal??
idk why but my guitar sounds worse when using this pedal. i have Digitech RP55 pedal, IBZ10G amp and a Stagg L250 guitar. If i plug the guitar straight in the amp it souds better than when i put it through the pedal. Any help please? Thank you :)
Does this pedal have a reverb effect or anything similar, I did watch the video but I was a little confused as to what a handful of the effects actually were because of the names of the effects.
@ralfjung Hello ralf, I wondered if I cna play this through a keyboard, its a big electronic keyboard and I can perfectly play the guitar though it , And if I buy this and conected to the keyboard, am I having osme effects through it?
Please help me, i just bought this (first effect pedal) and have no idea what kind of cord i need to use it. Do i just buy another cord exactly like my guitar cord for my amp?
goodie video, just got one,, at first it worked perfectly but now, i dont know why , when i turn it on it says PP or rr or 55 and it stays there it blocks and I don't know what to do :( !!
Could you do a video direct to computer? (Or interface or whatever you have your mic going to.) 'cause then it's only your guitar and the pedal, thusly it's closer to telling people if they really want the pedal, since it's not their guitar or amp, so it might sound a bit different, but you can't use their guitars, so it's the closest you can get to everyone's rig.
sweet video man. helped alot. bro!! whatever you do, DONT CUT THE HAIR!!!! i did and i regret it. i used to have it to my waist almost. i have this theory that long hair is this magical thing that gives you power to play guitar badass and when you cut it all that power goes away. that happened to me. i was really really good when i had the long hair and now that i cut it off i suck really really bad. hahaha. keep that in mind haha. take care man.
Awesome variety of sounds! I think it's still in 2024 that it's still going on. He's already 20. years
I have a few of these. Never tried the presets live though. That will change after hearing this. Well done mate!

Had one of these for a few years now. Cheap effective and reliable, thanks for sharing

hello, that's a nice guitar ralf!! and the presets are nice! #7 and 9 are cool!!
just ordered one of these off ebay, thank you for the video... convinced me to buy one :)
I have a problem with it. I have not used for a long time and now that i try to use it all it displays is a P and whatever i do it doesnt change. I tried to do the factory reset but nothing changes. Could someone help me ? Thank you
the preset 11 reminds me to the Cliffs of dover song
+aleaallee whoa, i forgot i watched this video and i was about to comment exactly the same thing
thanks for the upload. very helpful as I'm debating an affordable guitar effects module. I liked your playing too :-)
so you can make your own presets from this right?
hello ther nice video first of all. well i pay for my rp 55 and looked pretty cool anyway i noticed that the most part the sounds ain't like you play in ther 1-20 actually no ,no one ain't them are same. so my question is theres anyway to reset to the original sounds of the presets, or can you tell me how to make an distorsion preset liek its used on metallica(normal Distorsion on the Amp) also if you could tell hw to make the presets :D well thanks anyway

sehr schön..... das reicht aus für mich, juchu! Sogar zu erschwinglichen Preisen zu haben!
aren't there 80 presets?
Great playing... it really shows all of possbilities :D
So is it worth it to someone with a small budget but wants to dabble in effects? I have 3 distortion pedals and a dunlop wah, and I want to explore the more subtle side of guitar tone.

how do you reset the pedal? Like I modified some presets and now I want to change them back to default settings.
I hope you work for Digitech, because after seeing this vid, I just bought one for me and one for my son.
Question: What specific expression pedal will I need to access the Wah and Whammy effects? Any particular brand or model or will any of the passive volume pedals work?
Thanks for the demo! Does this unit have a good bluesy SRV sound in it - without flangers and other fx to mask the quality of it?
which fx pedal would you reccomend is better.....the Digitech RP55 or Behringer FX600 Digital Multi-FX Guitar Pedal? plzzzz tellll me i need to know which one i should buy!!!!

(already using comp & noisegate)
I'd like to buy this pedal, but only if it can be powered by my Gator powerbrick. Will it run on either 9v, 250mA or 18v, 350 mA ?
Hey do you have to have the digitech power supply to power this thing or can you use a different brand name ac adapter?
if i buy a cheap volume controller , does it make the wah job like the expensive one ? ,,, and if i buy it can i use the controller as a wah pedal in all preset or it is just preset 13 ???

oh cool, it's great that you know that place! That' s great, thx man, I'll try to find it there!
It cost about 70$
Thats cheap for something like that
Can you connect other pedals or wah pedals to it?
i wanna hear preset number 11 fine tuned, its would be kick asssss
Yes babe, true.
150 - 158 I heard that rift before what song was that from ?
Does this pedal have a reverb effect or anything similar, I did watch the video but I was a little confused as to what a handful of the effects actually were because of the names of the effects.
@ralfjung Hello ralf, I wondered if I cna play this through a keyboard, its a big electronic keyboard and I can perfectly play the guitar though it , And if I buy this and conected to the keyboard, am I having osme effects through it?
Awesome playing man I just picked up a Digitech RP50 the other day for $10 and it works!!! is this pedal similar to the RP55 you are using?
Hi, thanks for the videos. What difference have the rp55 with the rp50?
hi,.
does this have a buzzing sound when the guitar is not played?
my rp55 have a buzzing sound.
Please help me, i just bought this (first effect pedal) and have no idea what kind of cord i need to use it. Do i just buy another cord exactly like my guitar cord for my amp?
@viasi1 at 4:14 he demos the sustainium effect :) so yes the awnser is yes.
read the manual. as long as i remember you edit it move with the arrows and store it
goodie video, just got one,, at first it worked perfectly but now, i dont know why , when i turn it on it says PP or rr or 55 and it stays there it blocks and I don't know what to do :( !!
for the power supply, will a behringer 9V cable work fine?

Great video, after watching it I decided to buy the pedal. Cheap and wonderful I'd say.
