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.
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.
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....😄
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...
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??
@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 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 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
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 :)
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
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!
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?
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?
@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?
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.
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?
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 ???
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
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 :)
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)
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!!!!
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
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.
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!!
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.
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 :( !!
Awesome variety of sounds! I think it's still in 2024 that it's still going on. He's already 20. years
Had one of these for a few years now. Cheap effective and reliable, thanks for sharing
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.
awesome video Ralf. Your wicked on guitar and knowing your stuff

Great playing... it really shows all of possbilities :D
oh cool, it's great that you know that place! That' s great, thx man, I'll try to find it there!
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...
thanks for the upload. very helpful as I'm debating an affordable guitar effects module. I liked your playing too :-)
Awesome video :)
Beautiful Guitar :)

I have a RP 355 and really like it.
It's a great value.
Gr8 job sir....

Conteúdo muito ótimo 👏👏

numbers 2, 3,7, 11 and 20 are good imo
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?
that riff reminds me on Heart-barracuda :D
Does anyone do a review with the drum effect? I'd like to know if it's good to jam to.
Thats hepled me so much im buying that tomoro!
Hi Ralf , the first audio that sound in the video is of the amp or the RP55?

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?
Beginning if 10. Sounds like part of Steves Ouimette's "the devil went down to gerogia" XD
Hi great review! Will I be able to use it using just my headphones and no amp?
Angel Martinez yes. I own one and ive been using a 1/4 inch adaptor going out of the output jack and my earbuds
sirve para tocar metallica?
Tiene la distorcion paresida a metallica?
i wanna hear preset number 11 fine tuned, its would be kick asssss
Yes babe, true.
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?
read the manual. as long as i remember you edit it move with the arrows and store it
Hi, thanks for the videos. What difference have the rp55 with the rp50?
I've had both..and personally I like the rp55..its just better all around in my opinion.
Its only 50 bucks too..I mean its perfect.
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?
Which one should I Effects To Play The Trooper Iron Maiden
@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?
Can someone tell me how to create my own presets? For instance, what if I want the sustainium with added reverb???
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.
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?
Can anyone suggest RP55 settings to recreate the guitar solo for Purple rain by prince?
step 1 get rid of the rp55
It work like the video if i have an electro-acoustic guitar ? The sound will be the same ?
Corentin Jougneau no. You need to use an electric guitar.
@viasi1 at 4:14 he demos the sustainium effect :) so yes the awnser is yes.
Ottowah effect is funny :-))
Preset no. 5 "Classic BlackFace" at 1:57 is the best !
aren't there 80 presets?
Does it come with a built in equalizer? Preferably atleast 3-band...
yes
how do you get heavy distortion on it , because i always
get light distortion on it somebody please help
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 like this video btw.. The Digitech still has it.. would love to hear some user tones!!
can you give me the settings for acoustic chorus?
vielen Dank ralph young
What do you use for recording? I plug the output cable directly to my PC and it sounds like crap. Please help!!
does it work with a line 6 spider III 15 watt?
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.
on 14 towards the end was that Barracuda?
have you got tabs for what you played for preset 4
If I want two channels beside eachother, like 1st and 12th.
Is it easy to set i up?
hey ,,, how do i remove the rp55 ,, do i have to shut the amp first then unplug the adaptor of the rp ?? is that right
@MrJonezy79 ooops spelt guitarist wrong,,typing to quick haha
I want to buy this cheap effect, it's sounds great.
Where You plugin expression pedal to control wah or whammy effect?
On the backside there is a Control in
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 ?
well, I live in hong kong, i'ved look every where for the price and didnt found any thing but i'll go to the store to look at it !
