Product Description
Your sound is king. The control of your sound is imperative. The RP1000 gives you added control to express yourself the way you want – No longer will the lack of control stand in the way of your expression Your rig. The RP1000 integrates into your amp and with your stompboxes, not the other way around. Featuring exclusive Stompbox and Amp loops, the RP1000 doesn’t get in the way of your tone and switches external stompboxes in and out of the signal path like large pro rigs. No longer will you have to do the pedal tap dance, just select your preset and your tone is engaged, just the way you like it. Your Amp. In conjunction with the external Amp Loop, the RP1000 also features an Amp/Cabinet bypass switch that allows you to turn off the RP1000’s internal amplifiers and cabinets so your amp’s tone stands alone. Simplicity of a Stompbox. Popular on the RP500, the RP1000 also features the Pedalboard option that turns footswitches 6 through 10 into stompbox style effect on/off controls. 100 Different Pedalboards. When the Amp/Cabinet Bypass is used in conjunction with the Pedalboard mode, the RP1000 turns into 100 different pedalboards. You get instant access to both preset changes and stompbox on/off control, truly the best of both worlds. Phrase Looper. The RP1000’s built-in Phrase Looper lets you create on the fly performance loops for practicing, composing, and performing. With 20 seconds of record time and controls for Stop, Play, and Overdub, you can layer different guitar parts and tones seamlessly into cool song ideas or one-man jams. The RP1000 is built like a tank from a cast metal chassis to the 14 heavy-duty switches. A large 10 character LED display makes for easy stage use topped by an built-in expression pedal to control wahs, volume, Whammy™ and other parameters. No matter how you get your tone, the RP1000 works with your gear and gives you the control you need when playing live.

The best feature of this product is the pedal board mode. Changing a sound completely is just a foot switch away. I can go from a hard rock/metal distorted sound to a blues over drive in a second. I can add delay, modulation, or reverb and take it instantly away when I don't need it. And the best part about it is that everything is preset, so no tweaking is needed during shows, or recording. The sound selection is enormous and I think the options are actually endless. Choose an amp model with its matching cabinet and you have a sound. Change only the cabinet and viola, you get a whole different sound. Add some distortion or over drive, and the sound changes again.
One more excellent feature is the noise gate. I use high output pickups. Although they are ceramic humbuckers (supposed to be quieter than alnicos), they can get a beat noisy and the feedback is too much to handle when I am using a well heavy distorted sound. The noise gate just took care of that for me, especially when recording - no humming or feedback (the solos just sound smooth and cut through the mix now). There are a lot of other great features like the built in tuner, the phrase looper, the amp/cabinet by pass, the metal chassis etc. that makes this product a great buy, but for me the great thing about it is that no more tweaking is needed while performing or recording and everything is just a foot switch away.
While the presets are fun to play with, the amp / cabinet modeler is where the sizzle is for me. For instance, the 59 Bassman is terrific and the ability to add compression, distortion, chorus, delay, and reverb allows me to get lost in some great sounds (not 100% perfect to the amp model but close enough none-the-less). You can really hear the difference moving from the Fender Champ, Deluxe, Bassman and Twin in the American style amps. The British style amps are also noteworthy - the Marshall models are spot-on. With a reasonably clean amp channel or set of studio monitors where could you possibly reproduce so many tones for $400 - and get a complete effects platform besides?
When you dial in an amp model you have tons of flexibility to create almost any vibe you are looking for. I've already used the 65 Deluxe Reverb, 59 Bassman, and Marshall JTM45 live through PA systems. Ran it just like my amplifier using my guitar volume knob to clean up distortion and the tone knobs to round out or sharpen the sound. I also like the ability to turn the device into a stompbox - it allows me to dial in any combination of effects I want.
Still have to be careful not to trip over it because the knobs on top are made of plastic - but overall constructed pretty well. The 5 footswitches on top / 5 footswitches on the bottom are a bit awkward when stepping through presets. Try it out to make sure that isn't a deal breaker for you.
In my opinion you can't beat it for the price.
My guitars: 79 Stratocaster, 58 Les Paul Historic, 2006 G&L Legacy, 74 Guild D44M, 35 Epiphone Olympic
My amps: HK Statesman Dual EL34, 79 Peavey Classic, Crate V32
Effects: Almost all of the effects range from good to excellent. The only one that's actually bad is the harmonizer. Its almost useless. I have GNX4 from 5 years ago and the harmonizer on that is excellent. So this is definitely a step backwards. There is a way to get around it by adding a harmonizer pedal ($200+) into the stomp loop. But come on Digitech, why should I have spend that extra $200? FIX THE DAMN HARMONIZER PLEASE. Also, in the GNX4, you could run Whammy/Harmonizer and effects like chorus/flanger etc together. In the RP1000, you will have to chose between Whammy/Harmonizer and effects. I wish they kept this functionality from GNX4. From what I have seen/heard on You tube, Boss GT10 has better and more effects. I haven't tried the GT10 in person, but to me, quality of RP1000 effects is excellent. I doubt I am missing much (except the Harmonizer of course) (3.5 Stars)
Amp Modeling: This is where this unit shines. I have the GNX4 with the MFX Supermodels CD which is excellent. But I think the quality of the modeling is better in the RP1000. The models are more responsive to touch and sound great to excellent. I went through almost all the amp models. I can really hear the difference between a Fender, Marshall, Vox AC, Mesa etc. Really hard to fault. However, for all you tube amp fanatics out there, I don't think this will satisfy your ears 100%. Also, Boss COSM modeling is not that great compared to RP1000 modeling (4 stars)
Switching system: I have to give kudos to Digitech folks here. They have REALLY done their homework on this one. The 4CM method is pretty useful and allows you to integrate this unit in your existing setup. The stomp loop capability is great. I wonder why Digitech didn't put the amp channel change capability (like GT10)? That would have made this unit a God-send for me. I don't like the fact that if I want to use different channels on my amp, I have to use a different foot switch. Also, having 10 foot switches is way more convenient: 5 for Stompboxes, 5 for presents. Patch changes are quick (slight delay, not too noticeable) and stomp box on/off is instant. Boss GT10 switching system has the same features, but its just not as well laid-out/organized as the RP1000(4 stars if you use 4CM method, 5 stars otherwise)
Ease of use: I have been using the GNX4 for a few years and that was somewhat daunting in the beginning. With that experience, RP1000 is actually easier for me use. I think Digitech took out some of the complexities from the GNX4 and made it lot more user friendly and easily tweak-able in a live situation. I really like how easily you can bypass amp modeling, add in stomp loop, modify effects etc. on the go. X-edit is a decent piece of software as well, but you really don't need it as much as you did for GNX4. RP1000 is a lot easier to use in person. Overall, very well done indeed. Boss GT 10 seems very complicated to me, but again, for folks who have used GT-8 in the past might not be too concerned with that. For someone starting out fresh, you cant beat RP1000 for ease-of-use (5 stars)
Overall: 4.5 Stars. If you are in the market for a Multi-effects/Amp-Modeler unit, just close your eyes and get the RP1000. I don't think you can buy anything better at this price point. Sure, every one is raving about the Axe-FX, but I don't wanna spend 1.5k on an amp modeler. Besides, I like floor unit, not the rack mountable ones. Also, do your homework. Definitely check out Boss GT 10 and then make up your mind.
