- My last effort at demonstrating this pedal got a lot of negative feedback. This I'm recording direct. It's a great pedal with lots of amp simulations - definitely one for those who like classic tones, there's no guitar-synth experimentation here.

I've actually gigged twice with mine in the last month, pretty big shows straight from XLR into the PA and it sounded great, everyone's been blown away, including myself
Yep it's one of the classics imho :)
Ive had My RP500 for quite sometime & its nvr failed me & is just kool 2 learn new things everytime I play w/ it.
Busted mine out today after 2-3 years of it sitting in the closet, ignored, as I used my huge pedalboard. Color me surprised when I realized I'd been using it incorrectly for years, leaving the "amp/cab" emulation on in front of a tube amp. Just popped it in the effects loop of my 5150, disabled the emulation, and holy crap, the modulation and reverb sound incredible. Glad I didn't sell it!
Nice! And good on you for being open-minded enough to give it another go :) GF
would it be worth it to buy a 2nd-hand/used on as main effects pedal, or buy the modern ones?
Use it into studio monitors with xlr you'll be amazed how it sounds
That's what i do...lol the Whammy function is not far off from the original and i do have a 1st gen WH1 i bought in 93..gotta say the RP range is the best, most featured pedal for its price. Its funto play around with it..👍🤘🤘🤘🤘👌
Loved the Zappa lead! You, Sir, are the Borat of RP500 tone! You make me smile!
That's actually pretty fair assessment :)
Been using my RP 500 for over 10 years. Had a guy build a custom combo cab for me with cutouts for 2 10" speakers and a 1U slot. Then I populated it with 2 Jensen Neo speakers and a Rocktron stereo power amp, which is fed by the RP. Lighter and more versatile than my 100# Mesa rig. The RP takes some dialing in, but X-Edit gets you there pretty fast. And that red LED display is way easier to read than most of these newer multi-fx units.
Agree with all comments :)
I've also had mine for 10ish years, I ran into a problem trying to use the software, am I right that the software requires you to (somehow) have windows XP? Any suggestions for getting it working on modern operating system?
@@sfishy5540 I am using X-Edit on my Windows 11 desktop without any major problem.
Still have my RP500. Absolute bargain. Spent about a week checking out its billion sounds, only ever use about 3 of them. It's always on just to warm the gain up, and tuner is great, v easy to use (just don't switch the looper on by mistake mid-gig!) Must have gigged it 1-200x, solid.
Great to hear! Yeah I liked it. Ultra-low noise.
The Mega guitar effects procesor, the mega multi effects.
Good video. I've had the 500 now for more than 13 years. I like it a lot even though I've been tempted to buy an extra stomp box here and there, I keep falling back on the fact that the unit can do most anything. Of course it's not perfect, but it's really good. The amp simulations IMO are really more interesting than the boutique distortions/overdrives. And it's also important to realize each guitar and pickup will sound differently with it. So I've been working with setting programs that are for each of my 3 guitars independently. A few challenges I've been trying to tweak is getting the sounds of Larry Carlton and Justin Hayward's overdrive. Also combining amp simulation with overdrive and compression to get a mixed sound. More hours to go with it.
I love your comment "each guitar and pickup will sound differently with it" ...This is so true with all pedals, if people realized that then a lot of arguments could be avoided!! Thanks for watching #gearfacts
@@gearfacts Thanks. Just as a follow up, today I spent a couple of hours and with the right amp sim and overdrive and compression combinations, I was able to get a pretty good simulation of a Dumble sound, ala Larry Carlton type with my SG2000 guitar. And with my Strat, and another program with overdrive, and amp sim and compression, I made a really close sounding Jeff Beck ala Wired album sound.
More to program!
Any advice on achieving the Carlton tone?
@@melty1418 I set up a preset that uses the Fender Champ amp model and I have a Yamaha SG 2000 guitar and an Epiphone semi hollow body. If you listen closely to many of his songs, he doesn't lean on the bridge pickup only. He will mix it up with neck and bridge. With the right settings I can get a pretty close Dumble type sound, which Carlton is known for.
Work for studio and have home studio.
I still use this ... run the effects through different type of amps with different microphones reamp .
Get some very awesome sounds.
Yep it's crystal-clear and very versatile :)
Nice video. Coming in a little late, but purchased an rp500 on ebay last year and just recently digging into it.
I'm currently running a stereo setup up with a Fender Princeton Chorus and a Roland Cube 60. I'm using the Amp/Cabinet Bypass, overdrive from a Tube Screamer and I have a Morley Wah in front of the RP 500.
Also the gain channel from the Fender and Cube for some fun sounds. Amazing difference in volume going from a classic vibe tele to an Epi es339. The master volume rp500 and the volume pedal comes in handy.
You can achieve a very full sound in stereo, especially if you mess with the delays and reverb setting as well as the different modulations. Before the current set up it was a Orange Micro Dark and the Princeton Chorus in stereo..
I'm currently researching a 3 amp set up with the Orange MD dry and the Princeton and Cube in Stereo, Maybe an ABY box might do the trick? Any suggestions for the 3 amp set up would be appreciated. If you have 2 amps definitely give the rp stereo set up a try.
Absolutely. I had some real success using two keyboard amps as a stereo pair. Good guitar pedal :)
Also using it with 2 fender stereo chorus... I am still digging it!
I have had mine for over 10years...really gr8 toy to play with, real fun. I use mine in the fx loop to fatten up whichever amps i use as its got built in eq which is really quite good.👍🤘🤘
Sounds great!
I have had this device for several years. I configure it for myself on the computer. The only disadvantage is that switching between preset banks needs to be done in several steps. Otherwise, it's a very good thing.
I still have my rp500
Alguem ai ai tem esse modelo, e pode me dizer onde consigo o software dela
All I can suggest is try the Digitech website
Great job brother
Thanks Carlos :) GF
The tones on this blow away line6 hd500x more warm tube tone easy to tweak
Anybody got any ideas of the likely culprit of it powering on and having no sound?
Yes! Incorrect power supply!
This is gonna make me pull my RP1000 out.
Good machines, very clean, slick sound.
Can you edit a tone like Synyster gates guitar tone..Please?
Cuál es el precio de una pr 500
There is an Avenged Sevenfold tone in the official Digitech page www.digitech.com/tone-library.html
I have one rp 500.Great multieffect processor
It is indeed :) Gearfacts
Was this supposed to be funny? Loved the trippy camerawork!
Yeah I like to put a bit of humour into the visuals :) Staring at a motionless pedal for 10 minutes makes not for good viewing.
Amazing video! Would gladly appreciate some help on this : RP500 or RP360? Do they sound exactly the same? Is one better than the other? Which one could produce a better metal tone? Thanks in advance!
I don't know specifically about metal tone, but i can say that I greatly preferred the new RP360. The main advantage is that you can place your effects in any order you like. I find that makes a huge difference! GF
I have both and like the difference. Can get monstrous metal dripping sounds from Both 👽
When you record via USB with effects, is the incoming audio stereo?
Yes :) GF
How do you get rid of the fizz on the high-gain tone? I've dialed the crap out of it, used all the amps and cabs, gain settings, EQ, it still sounds like crap. Any idea?
That’s very unusual for this unit. Is the noise coming from your cables maybe, or perhaps try changing the way you are facing as you play. Could be simply interference.
I have this pedal and I think the effects sound cheap and overly digital. I was hoping for an honest review or to see if someone could set it up in a way which sounds nice.
I don't understand why people are praising it. It's fun to play with and has plenty of features but none of which I would be prepared to lad down
I hear what you're saying, and this is a tricky ongoing question. I think the answer is that people simply should buy what makes them smile. That's where the good music is. no-one ever said "Man this song sucks but it would have been great if they had used Blues overdrive instead of a DS1!"
The sound depends on many factors. Every guitar and every amp sounds different. Master X-Edit and try to create your own sound! The factory settings didn't suit me either. I make my own and I like them. But, perhaps, they will not fit your equipment.
@@igorlit9780 fair point. I have come across some interesting sounds playing with the settinga in the past. I'll take the timeto build some presets
@@melbournaut Highly recommended. I do this with Every pedal.
Dig deep, give it time.. you can be rewarded but patience and revisiting over time can really surprise you.. bc it has me, repeatedly 👽
Cheers!
Ok so I recently bought a rp500 can I still get x edit for it and download some Pink Floyd tones??
All I can suggest is to search the net, Swifty. There's gotta be someone out there with a ton of Floyd patches :) #gearfacts
Here you go www.digitech.com/tone-library.html
Does it have a feature to drop tune your guitar like the digitech drop?
Well there's a normal pitch shift, I guess that'd do the job but I don't know if the actual drop-tune pedal sounds more 'real'. Sometimes pitch shift can make things sound a bit loose and rubbery.
If you are recording direct why do we hear the acoustic slapping of your strings in the background???
Don't know mate, it's definitely a direct recording. Or else I have a phenomenally quiet lounge room.
Didn't turn off talking mic when playing
Brian Peter not sure what you might be hearing but i could not hear any slapping strings. Some videos i have seen you can hear more of the pick slap from a mile away...lol im curious too as i couldn't hear of that..sounds direct as to me..🤔
Thanks for the video, I just got an RP1000 and already love it. If you haven't, check out the RP500 demo for Premier Guitar. Jason Lamb (of DOD pedal fame) does the demo. This effect seems to really have his fingerprints all over it, in the best way. It's just plain badass that there is an amp called "Mosh" included
Cool, love the Daria avatar btw!
Does this have the same options as the 355 with the recording loop?
I think so, but it might be worth checking the manual online just to confirm the specs #gearfacts
They added a simple looping feature with a software update, so it may not be in the manual. Here's a video link of someone using it th-cam.com/video/mPdkHmjK528/w-d-xo.html
Esta mui buena
My lead guitarist using line6 multi efx and me the poor guy who play rhythm only can afford digitech rp500. But my tone is better than him🤣🤣🤣🙊 price mean nothing! Know your gear before buying it
The RP500 is very slick, I can see it outperforming Line 6 in some areas, for sure
@@gearfacts definitely. Im not saying line6 is not good. But, rp500 just have better results in affordable price
@@sahedthebutler8685 Man I totally agree. There are some real gems in the cheaper gear, even if it's only one particular effect within a larger multi effects unit.
@@gearfacts do you ever use behinger pedal? I highly recommend them too. Unlike some high end bosh pedal, behinger pedal is more affordable and have more choices in the settings
@@sahedthebutler8685 Yeah I've reviewed a few behringers. They make good amp with effects too.
Hi all, from the Chorus/FX category, how many effects can you apply for the same patch at the same time? Say that I wanted a sound where I wanted to add Chorus+Octaver+Phaser+Tremolo... is that possible here? Or am I forced to select "ONLY 1" effect from this category???
I doubt you could get all those effects at once as they are mostly from the "Mod" section which can give you one effect only at a time. ZOOM is the real champion when it comes to stacking effects in the way you describe.
@@gearfacts too bad... yeah, I've been looking at zoom pedalboards but don't quite like the visual interface... thanks for the info!
Can u post how many dislikes this has
TH-cam is cagey about such details these days, but it's on about 75% likes (110 thumbs up) and 25% dislikes (I guess that's about 30 thumbs down). Not sure if the dislikes are for the pedal or my video style :)
@@gearfacts your style …its not a music video ….its titled as to help with a great understanding of this to me a complex peddle ….i come to your site for that reason not,,,to experience a very bad 80s pop video ….
Is there an effect like the whammy pedal?
Yes it does have whammy :) Gearfacts
@@gearfacts how does it compare to the real whammy? I had a boss me-70 and the whammy was ok but a bit thin sounding...
Probably the worst review of this product
hey hey we're the monkeees, and people say we monkey around, but we're too busy singinnnn, to put anybody downnnnn :)
Very bad processor
Which one do you prefer?
