Guitar Tone For Days - Plus Massive Switching Control!

The RP1000 is DigiTech's most advanced guitar effects pedalboard system ever. Not only does it include a killer collection of 160 effects and 200 presets to create an incredible range of tones, but it also sports an effects switching system to route internal effects as well as your own external stompboxes. Just call up presets across the RP1000's 14 footswitches and tweak the six knobs to reach your sound. You also get a built-in phrase looper with 20 seconds of record time and an onboard expression pedal with the DigiTech RP1000!



DigiTech RP1000 Effects Pedalboard at a Glance:
  • All-in-one guitar tone monster
  • Integrates easily into your existing stompbox and amplifier setup
  • 14 switches, six knobs, and an expression pedal for nailing your sound
  • USB audio streaming for recording
  • Phrase looper for on-the-fly overdubs and tonal layers

All-in-one guitar tone monster
The DigiTech RP1000 sports 40 tone libraries and 40 effects libraries and over 160 effects and 200 presets - 100 factory, 100 user - so you can dial in a near-limitless range of tones. A huge bank of choruses, delays, amp models, and cabinet models give you the creative power to create a killer signal chain. And a built-in expression pedal lets you perform the Whammy, wahs, volume, and other parameters in real time. There's even a chromatic tuner onboard, so it's easy to get creative with alternate tunings or just make sure you're rocking in perfect standard or drop D.

Integrates easily into your existing stompbox and amplifier setup
Whether you're after a gentle delayed-out soundscape one minute or an all-out crunching shred-fest the next, you can switch easily between setups and tones with the RP1000. What's more, it's designed to complement your existing stompbox and effects setup, not over-rule and reorganize it. Thanks to its Stompbox and Amp loops, you can switch your external stompboxes in and out right on the RP1000 - just like on the professional rigs. Just select your presets and engage your tone, without doing an effects pedal tap dance. And because there's an amp/cabinet bypass onboard the RP1000, you can easily turn off the RP1000's internal amplifiers and cabinets to leave your amp's tone alone, then engage them for an all-out different sound whenever you want it.

14 switches, six knobs, and an expression pedal for nailing your sound
There's nothing like an abundance of footswitches and knobs to really dig in and create your tone - both live and before-hand at home. Thanks to 200 presets - 100 internal and 100 user - you have a ton of points to launch from. Ten dedicated footswitches let you access ten different presets on the pedalboard at once - and you can bank between them easily. You can also use the stompbox in Pedalboard mode, which lets you use footswitches 6-10 as dedicated controls for cueing in compression, distortion, chorus, delay, and reverb. And when Amp/Cabinet Bypass is used with the Pedalboard mode, you'll have 100 different pedalboards under your reign - that's serious tonal horsepower for the stage or the studio.

USB audio streaming for recording
The RP1000 is designed to give you all the tools you need - from practice to recording. Once you've ironed out some new riffs or leads you can easily connect the RP1000 to your computer via USB and record them using included Cubase LE4 music production software. The USB connection also serves as a handy tool to edit and archive your presets with the downloadable X-Edit Librarian software.

Phrase looper for on-the-fly overdubs and tonal layers
If all that functionality wasn't already enough, DigiTech added a killer Phrase Looper to the RP1000. You can create up to 20-second overdubs and take full control voer Stop, Play, and Overdub. Whether you want to practice a lead over the basic rhythm riff or perform a massive one-man jam onstage, you've got the tools you need inside the RP1000.

Blown away

by Michael Pike from Livermore, CA
August 12, 2009
Music Background: Gigging musician - 1-2 times per week.
I bought this after watching their clinician's demo. He had it connected to an Orange amp and was using its preamp. This is the first multi effects that does this! No longer am I forced to use pedals.... read more [+]

When I got it home it took a few minutes to understand the wiring but I ended up using 3 20' cables and zipping them together to form a sort of snake. It sounds great with my Vox AC-30. The RP1000 sits out front while my amp is at the back of the stage with the 3 cables running to it. I also just got the HardWire pedal, it's pretty cool. Why doesn't DigiTech advertise them? They're absolutely cool!
I would recommend buying this. My Line 6 X3 is now collecting dust except for when I record and need to get one particular heavy tone which it rules. Gigwise, the RP1000 is the most solidly built effect (including pedals) that I've ever owned. close [-]

Update - you can set one of the other switches to be the amp loop switch...

I wrote the previous review before reading the manual...and didn't yet know that you can assign switches 6-10 to do pretty much what you want, including enable / disable the amp loop.

Most of what you need in one box

by Fastelder from Baltimore
November 25, 2009
Music Background: Forever - I still have an original Morley Power-Wah! Mostly Blues & Worship now.
Excellent pedal. I run my synth guitar (w/GR-20) through a keyboard amp. The downside is that the clean sound of the amp does nothing for the humbuckers. Enter the modeling/FX pedal. Digitech does ... read more [+]it right and in stompbox mode gives you most of what you need to flavor any sound. I DID find the programming of the patches so frustrating that I gave up and used the stock sounds. Then I plugged in the USB - This is definitely the way to go! The layout of the patch software is easy and understandable and you can instantly tweak the FX. The pedal has 100 pre-sets and another 100 user presets, so there's more than enough room to store you favorite/tweaked patches. I would have given this a much lower rating before I tried the USB software. Now I would have to say it's one of the best deals out there. The minus half point was for the Phrase looper which is anything but convenient to use - I only wanted to lay a back track to play against, but it's not worth the effort - Just get an RC-2 and be happy close [-]

Great pedal

by BJ Walraven from Ypsilanti, MI
July 30, 2009
Music Background: Gigging musician and recording engineer
I bought this to replace a Digitech GNX2, which is impossible to see in bright sunlight. I've had the GNX2 for several years...it's been a great pedal. Sounds great, built like a tank. It's even ha... read more [+]d a beer spilled on it and still works fine.

However, we've begun playing more outdoor shows, and it's a must to be able to see the pedal in the sunlight.

The RP1000 delivers. It's got better tone than the GNX2 out of the box, and is very easy to use. I received it on the night of practice, and I took it out of the box about 10 minutes before we started playing. I spent very little time thinking about the pedal during that practice...which is exactly what I'm looking for. Dead simple to use, great sounding, fun to play. There's obviously a lot of depth to this pedal, which I'm looking forward to exploring. The 4-cable setup is amazing. I was skeptical of going to the vaccuum style switches, but they're very easy to use. All in all, it's a big step up from the GNX2...and definitely easily visible in direct sunlight or daylight.

I didn't give it a full 5 stars because the one switch I would love to have as a foot switch is not - the switch that turns off amp / cab modeling is made to use with your finger. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
