DigiTech - RP1000

DigiTech RP1000 Integrated Effect Switching System

If you've confused which effect to use to equiped your guitar and trying to decide between your beloved collection of vintage stompboxes and the convenience and portability of a multi-effect pedal, the DigiTech RP1000 is the answer of your headache, DigiTech has the perfect compromise. The new DIgiTech RP1000 is a multi-effect pedalboard that takes the same DSP-architecture and construction design of the rest of the RP-series, and adds an integrated, external effects-loop switching option, meaning you can not only still use your old effects, but you now have even more control over them.

The DigiTech RP1000 is uniter all of your old stompbox and not only does the RP1000 integrate with your existing effects setup with ease, but it also stays out of the way of your amp's tone. A simple "Amp/Cabinet" bypass switch turns the RP1000's speaker simulations off with a single switch, allowing your amp to do the work. I mean, your amp is already there, right? Why bother bringing it to the gig and have it sit on the sidelines? This isn't the NFL, for cryin' out loud.

If this features waren't enough, the RP1000 also features a "full-time" phrase looper. By adding the standard DigiTech FS3X footswitch, you can have dedicated controls for the RP1000's phrase looper like it was a separate pedal -- which is sorta exemplary of the RP1000's whole design philosophy: why add effects if you can't access them easily? It's the same reason that buttons 6-10 on the RP1000 can be used to access individual effects within a preset.

Of course, there's still the die-cast metal housing, the rugged metal switches, the durable expression pedal and DigiTech quality effects that you'd expect from the RP-series floorboards, the RP1000 represents not only the change you need, it's also the change you don't have to fear.

A 20-second phrase looper allows the user to easily record, and overdub tracks for one-man band performances, writing and practicing. Control of the full-time phrase looper can be expanded with DigiTech's optional FS3X optional foot controller.

DigiTech RP1000 Integrated Effect Switching System

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.
