About the Effects

The RP1000 is like a dream collection of vintage and contemporary amplifiers with several pedalboards full of classic, modern, and boutique stompboxes all in a single programmable, portable package. With stompboxes, the order in which they are connected affects the overall sound. The RP1000 has placed the Amps and Effects in an order for optimum results. The following diagram shows the order in which they are connected. Block Diagram

Effect Definitions
Each Amp and Effect within the RP1000 can be programmed to suit your personal taste and application. Understanding how these components alter the sound, and how each parameter alters the effect, will help you get the sound you are looking for. The following pages talk about the RP1000s amps, cabinets, and effects and what each effect and parameter does. For more information about each effect, like how its used by some musicians, check out the Effects Descriptions section on page 37.

Noise Gate/Auto Swell

A Noise Gate is designed to eliminate noise while you are not playing, or provide an auto volume swell effect. Gate Type - Knob 1 selects between the DigiTech noise gate or the volume swell effect. Values include: gate (Selects the Noise Gate) and swEll (Selects the Auto Swell effect.) Press this knob to turn the Noise Gate/Auto Swell on and off. Threshold (Noise Gate only) - Knob 2 sets the signal strength (Threshold) required to open or close the Noise Gate. Parameters range from 0 (opens easily) to 99 (requiring strong signals to open). Attack Time - Knob 3 sets the attack time. Ranges from 0 (shorter attack time) to 99 (longer attack time). Release - Knob 4 sets the Release parameter. Ranges from 0 to 99. Attenuation - Knob 5 sets the Attenuation parameter. Ranges from 0 to 99. Swell Sensitivity (Auto Swell only) - Knob 6 sets the Swell Sensitivity parameter of the Auto Swell. Ranges from 0 to 99.

Chorus/FX

The Chorus/FX row in the RP1000 is a multi-function module, allowing you to select Effect types such as Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Vibrato, Rotary Speaker, Tremolo, Panner, Envelope Filter, Detune, Whammy, Pitch Shift, Detune, Harmony, OC Octaver and more. When the Chorus/ FX row is selected, Knob 1 is used to choose the Effect type. Press this knob to turn these Effects on and off. Only one of the effects in this row can be used at a time. After selecting the type of effect in this module, Knobs 2-6 can then be used to adjust the individual parameters associated with the selected effect. The following list describes each Effect and its parameters in more detail: Chorus A Chorus adds a short delay to your signal. The delayed signal is modulated in and out of tune and then mixed back with the original signal to create a thicker sound. The RP1000 includes the following Chorus Effects: CECHoruS (based on the classic Boss CE-2 Chorus), tcchoruS (based on the TC Electronic Chorus), CHORUS (DigiTechs Dual Chorus), glischrs (DigiTechs Glistening Chorus) and MultCHRS (DigiTechs famous Multi Chorus), voo doo (based on the VooDoo Labs Analog Chorus), and clone (Based on the Electro Harmonix Small Clone).
Knobs 2-6 have the following functions for the various Chorus types:
Chorus Knob 2 (Pre/Post Amp) Pre/Post Amp Pre/Post Amp Pre/Post Amp Pre/Post Amp Pre/Post Amp Pre/Post Amp Pre/Post Amp Knob 3 (Speed) Speed Speed Speed Speed Speed Speed Rate Knob 4 (Depth) Depth Width Depth Depth Depth Intensity Depth Knob 5 (Regeneration) --Waveform -Waveform --Knob 6 (FX Level) -Intensity Level Level Level ---

Delay is an effect that records a portion of the incoming signal, and then plays it back a short time later. The recording can repeat just once or several times. Delay - Knob 1 selects one of the 7 different Delay types. Values include: analog (DigiTech Analog Delay), dm delay (Based on the Boss DM-2 Analog Delay), digital (DigiTech Digital Delay), modulate (DigiTech Modulated Delay), pingpong (DigiTech Pong Delay), tape (DigiTech Tape Delay), echoplex (Based on the MaestroTM EP-2 Echoplex Tape Echo), reverse (DigiTech Reverse Delay), lo fi (a Lo Fidelity Delay), and 2 tap (a 2-tap Delay). Press this knob to turn the Delays on and off. Knobs 2-6 have the following functions for the various Delay Effects:

analog dm delay digital modulate pingpong tape echoplex reverse LO FI 2 tap
The Repeats parameter (Knob 3) ranges from 0 to Repeat Hold (Hold) for all delays except the Echoplex, DM-2, and Lo-Fi. Repeat Hold is one click past 99, and acts as an infinite repeat. The Multiplier parameter (Knob 5) lets you divide the tap tempo rate into 1/2, 1/4, dotted 1/8, 1/8, and triplet 1/4 note rhythms.
Using reverb in recorded program material gives the listener a sense that the material is being performed in an actual room or hall. It is this similarity to actual acoustic spaces that makes reverberation a useful tool in recorded music. The RP1000 features genuine Lexicon reverbs, whose rich, lush effects have been heard in countless songs, soundtracks, and live performances for decades. Reverb Types Knob 1 selects the Reverb Effect or acoustic space. Press this knob to turn the Reverb on and off. The following types are available: twnsprng - Based on a Fender Twin Reverb lexambnc - Lexicon Ambience lexstudo - Lexicon Studio lex room lex hall emtplate - Lexicon Room - Lexicon Hall - Based on an EMT240 Plate

The RP1000 includes two assignable low frequency oscillators (LFO 1 and LFO 2) that you can assign to any of the same parameters available for assignment to the Expression Pedal. A low frequency oscillator automatically varies the value of the assigned parameter at a steady rate. You can set the minimum and maximum value that each LFO will reach. For instance, if the Amp Gain is assigned to LFO 1, and the minimum value is set to 1 and the maximum value is set to 99, the RP1000 will automatically sweep the amount of distortion from a clean sound to a distorted sound. You can also set the LFO speeds. In the previous example, the LFO speed would determine the length of time it takes the LFO to sweep from the clean to the distorted sound. To assign the LFOs in the RP1000, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Press the Edit button until the Expression row is selected (indicated by the LED lighting on the Expression row). Rotate Knob 1 to select one of the two LFO links, LFO 1 (LFO 1) or LFO 2 (LFO 2). Rotate Knob 2 to select the parameter you want linked to the LFO 1 or LFO 2. Rotate Knob 5 to select which waveform you want the LFO to use, Triangle (TRIanGle), Sine (SINE), or Square (SQUARE). Rotate Knob 6 to select the speed you want the parameter to be controlled at.

Wah Min/Max

1. 2. 3. 4.
You can set the Wah effects minimum and maximum values with the Expression row. To do so, follow these steps: Press the Edit button until the Expression row is selected (indicated by the LED lighting on the Expression row). Rotate Knob 1 to select wah pedl. Rotate Knob 3 to adjust the Wah effects minimum value. Rotate Knob 4 to adjust the Wah effects maximum value.

Expression Update

You can set up the RP1000s Expression pedal to update its position each time you change presets. Normally, the Expression pedal only updates its position on a preset change when its linked to the Volume Pre or Volume Post parameter in a preset. This lets the Expression pedal behave like a real volume pedal between preset changes. When Expression Update is enabled (ON), the Expression pedal will update its position no matter what parameter its linked to, so it has more of an analog feel like a typical standalone expression pedal. To enable the Expression Update function, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. Press the Edit button until the Expression row is selected (indicated by the LED lighting on the Expression row). Rotate Knob 1 to select EXPUPDAT. The default setting is for Expression Update is OF. Press Knob 1 to enable or disable Expression Update.

The RP1000 is equipped with a 3 band semi-parametric EQ which helps shape your tone with Low, Mid, and High controls. 3 Band Semi-Parametric EQ By adjusting the frequency and levels of each band, you can control how much or little of the frequency range of 60 Hz to 8 kHz you want in your overall tone.

Chorus Stompbox Models

A Chorus adds a short delay to your signal. The delayed signal is modulated in and out of tune and then mixed back with the original signal to create a thicker sound. The RP1000 includes the following Chorus Effects: Boss CE-2 Chorus, DigiTech Dual Chorus, DigiTech Glistening Chorus, DigiTech Multi-Chorus, Electro Harmonix Small Clone, TC Electronics Chorus, and Voodoo Labs Analog Chorus. Boss CE-2 Chorus A very simple but popular Chorus pedal. Its simplistic two knob design makes it easy to use adjusting the Speed and Depth of the Chorus while keeping a nice warm tone. DigiTech Dual Chorus: A warm dual voice chorus that allows you to adjust the speed, depth, level, AND wave form. DigiTech Glistening Chorus: A more simplistic Chorus giving you a warm Chorus tone like the CE-2 but adding a 3rd knob allowing you to adjust the overall level as well. DigiTech Multi-Chorus DigiTechs famous Multi-Chorus allows you to get an incredible warm Chorus tone using 16 voices that interact with each other in Stereo Mode giving you the most incredible unique Chorus tone you can imagine. Electro Harmonix Small Clone A very lush, watery Chorus which can be heard on hits by bands including Nirvana. This Chorus has a very earthy tone to it and definitely take your Chorus tone to a different place. TC Electronics Chorus A Chorus pedal that was made for guitar but also used by Bass and keyboard players as well. Many keyboardists use it to enhance their electric piano Rhoads sound. The speed knob controls the speed of the chorus or flanger sweeps. The width knob controls how much frequency change the effect spans. The intensity controls how much of the effect is used. Voodoo Labs Analog Chorus A strikingly vocal with distinct organic tone Chorus pedal. It is capable of a wide range of sounds from a thick analog doubling, to an ultra-lush chorus, and even a Leslie rotating speaker.

Flanger

A Flanger uses the same principle as a Chorus but uses a shorter delay time and adds regeneration (or repeats) to the modulating delay. This results in an exaggerated up and down sweeping motion to the effect. The RP1000 includes the following Flanger Effects: ADA Flanger, DigiTech Flanger, DigiTech Filter Flanger, DigiTech Triggered Flanger, Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress, and the MXR Flanger. A/DA Flanger A super quiet Flanger with plenty of headroom. Made popular by its ability to get thick and juicy tones from using not only the standard knobs of the normal Flanger but also the Harmonic knob which offers the user a slightly different timbre going from even to odd harmonics. DigiTech Flanger DigiTechs own Flanger model! This gives you the Flnager effect and allows you to control the standard Speed, Depth, Regeneration, and Level of the Flanger effect.

The RP1000 comes equipped with effects to manipulate your pitch and do incredible things with it like harmonize both intelligently and by using standard semitones, detune, and do cool effects by raising and/or lowering your original notes from 2 octaves down to 2 octaves up! Pitch pedals it is equipped with are: Boss OC-2 Octaver, DigiTech Detune, DigiTech Harmony Pitch, DigiTech Pitch Shift, and the ever popular DigiTech Whammy Pedal!!
Boss OC-2 Octaver Based on the Boss OC-2 OctaverTM, this adds two signals to your original guitar signal. The first is one octave below your guitar, and the second is two octaves below your guitar. Each additional signal has its own volume control. DigiTech Detune A Detuner makes a copy of your incoming signal, takes the copied signal slightly out of tune from the original, then mixes the two signals together. The result is a doubling type of effect as if two guitars were playing the same part together. DigiTech Harmony Pitch Harmony Pitch Shifting makes a copy of the incoming signal, and then changes the pitch of the copied note to a diatonically correct interval specified by the Amount parameter. A Harmony Pitch Shifter sharpens or flattens the shifted pitch in order to keep the specified interval within the selected key and scale creating a true harmony. DigiTech Pitch Shift A Pitch Shifter copies the incoming signal, then shifts the pitch of the copy to a different note. The shifted note is then mixed back with the original signal, sounding as if two guitars were playing different notes. DigiTech Whammy The DigiTech Whammy is an effect that uses an Expression Pedal to bend the pitch of the incoming signal, or add a bendable harmony with the original signal. As the Pedal is moved, the note bends either up or down.

Vibrato / Rotary

DigiTech Rotary The Rotary is an effect that produces the Doppler effect and volume change of a rotary speaker. The sound is lush and full. DigiTech Vibrato The Vibrato produces volume and tone change that can be found on surf and country classics. DigiTech Vibro / Pan The Vibro/Pan not only changes volume but shifts it side to side. This effect is great for stereo setups. Unicord Uni-Vibe The Uni-Vibe creates a chorus type effect in tandem with a vibrato to produce a lush swirling effect.

Tremolo

DigiTech Panner Pans the sound from side to side. The speed controls how fast and the depth controls how much of the signal is panned. DigiTech Tremolo The Tremolo is a volume changing effect that can be heard on surf and country classics. DigiTech ScatterTrem The ScatterTrem combines two tremolos that are out of sync to produce an unpredictable scattered tremolo sound. Fender Opto Tremolo The sound of the Fender Opto Tremolo is as classic as their amps. Both tone shift and volume effects are produced to create this unique tone.
Vox Bias Tremolo Another way to achieve a tremolo effect is to alter the bias of the poweramp tubes. This Vox Bias Tremolo produces the volume and tone effects to create a tone heard on many famous British tunes.

Envelope / Special

DigiTech Envelope Filter An envelope filter is also called a auto-wah for its wah effect. The amount of wah is dependent of the output volume of your guitar he harder you play, the more wah you get. A definite BMovie soundtrack tone. DigiTech Auto Yah If a wah, why not an effect that says yah when you use it? This is another take on the vowel based effects but it is controlled the same way that the envelope filter is controlled. DigiTech Sample & Hold Using a changing filter, the Sample and Hold produces skipping tones that can be heard in experimental and alternative music. Best used with distortion in front of the effect. DigiTech Step Filter The Step Filter changes frequency in related patterns much like a sample and hold effect. DigiTech Synth Talk Another DigiTech first, the Synth Talk makes your guitar sound like its talking due to vowel like qualities. DigiTech YaYa A descendent of a wah, the YaYa is a more complex circuit that produces a ya sound. DOD FX25 Envelope Filter The DOD FX25 is an classic analog envelope filter that can be found on many funk and alternative tracks. Used by both guitar and bass players. Try this one clean for a really funky sound.

Delays

Analog Delay The analog delay produces delays that were derived from BBD analog delay chips. The BBD chips were the first ways to produce delay aside from the costly tape delays. The delay sound was not HiFi but was reminiscent of the original signal and quickly became a cornerstone to modern guitar sounds due to their warm qualities. Boss DM2 Analog Delay: The DM2 is a classic and standard BBD analog delay that used 4,096 stages of delay. The frequency response and noise depended upon the delay time. The signal derogates with every repeat so as the repeats are turned up, the signal becomes less and less recognizable and actually becomes more of an effect than a delay. Digital Delay A digital delay can be called a perfect representation of your guitars signal. Desired for their brilliant qualities, digital delays have virtually no noise and a full frequency response. Lo Fi Delay: The Lo Fi delay is an analog delay with a severely limited frequency response to produce an even grungier delay effect. Maestro EP-2 Tube Echoplex The Echoplex is the standard to which all analog delays are judged. The Echoplex was the first widely used tape delay and had a tone all of its own. The Echoplex can be heard on many rockabilly, surf, country and rock tracks.

Boss DS-1 Distortion A truly classic distortion. A nice, common distortion that ranges in tone from rock to mild metal. Use it to drive a distorted amp! Boss MT Metal Zone -2 The Metal Zone will produce nearly any metal tone needed from tight, percussive Bay area thrash to deep detuned grind core. Boss OD-1 Overdrive The OD-1 is perfect for just adding a little gain to your tone no matter what type of amp you use. To produce a bluesy tone, use it with a clean combo. To drive your stack, crank the gain and level. Boss SD-1 Overdrive With a little more gain than the OD-1, the SD-1 will drive any amp into another realm. If youre just looking for a good classic rock tone, this is it. Demeter Fuzzulator Enhancing the proper frequencies with a pre-emphasis tone circuit, the Fuzzulator produces distortion that is unique and does not get muddy. It just gets better and the Fuzz is turned up. DigiTech Amp Driver The Amp Driver distortion is designed to turn a regular distorted amp into a monster. The Amp Driver not only distorts the guitars signal but also boosts frequencies around 600Hz. By emphasizing the frequencies around 600Hz amps can be driven harder and take on more of a metal tone. A mean sound is not only how determined by how much gain you put in front of your amp, but how hard you drive the amp and with what frequencies the amp is driven with. DigiTech Death Metal Designed in 1992 to provide death metal musicians with a wall of sound, the Death Metal pedal does just that. Whether you play early 90s grindcore or modern death metal, the Death Metals tone controls that are placed at the correct frequencies give you a multitude of sonic options. DigiTech Grunge In late 1991 as Grunge hit the radio the pedal was designed as the DOD FX69 Grunge. The pedal was designed by a young engineer who played punk and was released as an experiment to see what this new type of music was all about. Now a decade later, the Grunge is still a topseller. The Grunge produces tones from early famous Seattle sounds to borderline metal. Dont forget your flannel. DigiTech Redline Modified Overdrive Not your standard overdrive, the Redline takes overdrive to a place that never existed. The Redlines circuit overdrives the guitars signal in a way that is not evenly clipped like the way a tube amp distorts. Add extra gain and a thicker low end and the Redline was born. DOD 250 Overdrive/Preamp The DOD250 is another classic overdrive. With no tone control to get in the way, the 250s beauty is just its pure overdrive. DOD Classic Fuzz A part of the original DOD FX family, the Classic Fuzz gained a following for its clearer voicing as compared to many fuzz pedals. DOD Gonkulator Ring Modulator Meet the needs of many experimental guitarists, the Gonkulator was a silent hit only to become a high cost interned item. The Gonkulator is a compination of a Grunge pedal and a ring modulator that produces distortion and mixes in bell-like ringing. The first pedal with a suck knob. Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi A requirement for any alternative player, the Big Muff Pis thick fuzz is unmistakable in grunge, new wave and many punk hits.

95 Matchless Chieftain A beautifully full amp tone with plenty of character. The Chief is a really great amp to use for putting a slightly different color in your musical palette. 96 Matchless HC30 The perfect Class A crunch tone with tight responsive low end. This is right at home with country, blues, and rock 74 Orange OR 120 This often overlooked amp from a great British amp company was used by greats like Jimmy and Frank Zappa. No wonder the great Orange is making a comeback. 99 Peavey 5150 II Designed in conjunction with Eddie Van Halen by Peavey, this amp offers gain for days. 88 Randall HT -100 A vintage solid state amp that ushered in a new metal generation. This was the amp Dimebag used in the earlier Pantera days. 84 Roland JC-120 This solid state combo was synonymous with the sparkling clean sounds of the 80s. 88 Soldano SLO-100 Considered one of the first boutique amp companies, the SLO 100 is a pure gain heads dream. Smooth distortion with incredible sustain, this amp is amazing. 67 Sunn 100S Used by Pete Townshend in the late 60s US tour, these amps offered tons of headroom which certainly delivered the SPLs The Who loved. 62 Vox AC15 The first great Vox amp. A single 12 version of its more famous 30 Watt big brother, this amp has much of the same character to offer. 63 Vox AC30 Top Boost The quintessential amp that defined both Brian Mays and Edges sound. Just crank this amp up and get some of the most awesome growl you will ever hear from an amp. DigiTech Blackbass 65 Blackface preamp w/ Bassman poweramp What happens when you combine the cleaner input stage of Blackface and connect it to the gritty poweramp of a Bassman? You get an experimental amp that works perfect for blues, rocka-billy, country and rock.Youll want to drive this hard. DigiTech Blues A perfect combination of clarity and grit. The Blues amp cuts through but doesnt get too muddy as the gain is turned up. DigiTech Bright Clean A perfect clean combo amp structure, the amp is bright yet cleaner than most. Great for jazz, surf, country, clean rock and metal. DigiTech Brownsound - Hot rodded 80s stack tone The Brownsound is a hot-rodded Marshall tone of the early 80s made famous by a wild, fingertapping guitarist. DigiTech Chunk Thicker than a Marshall, the Chuck gives you lots of gain with plenty of low end that doesnt get in your way. DigiTech Clean Tube The Clean Tube is a very clean tube combo tone with just the right amount of 2nd harmonics.
DigiTech Crunch The Crunch is just that, a tube head that crunches more than the rest. The crunch has extra gain and cuts through. Perfect for both rhythms and solos. DigiTech Tweedface Tweed preamp w/Blackface poweramp Imagine combining two of the greatest Fender amps into a single beast. Thats what we have done with the Tweedface. Take the preamp of the classic Tweed Deluxe and combine it with the output stage of the Blackface Twin Reverb and here is the monster you get. DigiTech Darkmetal Producing a tight, focused tone, the Darkmetal has high gain, yet does not muddy up you guitars tone. Perfect if you play intricate metal. DigiTech Fuzz The DigiTech Fuzz tone is based off of the fuzz tone of the late 60s English bands with our own twist with fizz. Thus making the DigiTech Fuzz ideal for 90s grunge to todays mix of music. DigiTech GSP2101TM Artist Clean Tube The GSP2101 has become an iconic preamp processor for many players over the years. After years of requests from players, we have brought the sounds back from their glory days. The GSP2101 Clean Tube captures the warmth and brightness while being able to drive it hard to produce a nice warm clean sound with grit. DigiTech GSP2101 Artist Saturated Tube The sound of the GSP2101 preamp being the most used sound from the GSP2101. Mild to over the top gain without getting a muddy sound. A perfect tone setting for all types of music. DigiTech High Gain For the rock or hard rock player who requires a lot of distortion as a starting point. A very punchy tone for both rhythm and lead work reminiscent of a well polished production album. DigiTech Metal A true metal tone for both classic or modern style metal with a chunky bottom end. This setting is able to achieve a variety of metal tones with the use of the EQ and gain controls. DigiTech Monster The DigiTech Monster was created on an operating table in a European castle with one thing in mind, full-on dimed out molten metal gain. This is the perfect setting for death metal or the Norwegian Sound. DigiTech Mosh This sound was created after the mid 80s NYC and Bay Area tones. You will feel like youre in the pit while taken a thrashing. Big metal sound with a bit of sizzle. DigiTech Solo Dialed in tone ideal for laying down solos for country, rock, jazz, blues and even metal. Add a bit of delay and reverb, and you have the perfect sound for any lick you can come up with. DigiTech Spank A bright and punchy clean sound that can be driven for a bit of edge. At home with funk or any tone that needs some spanking. DigiTech Stonerrock The Stonerrock amp produces tones made famous by So-Cal and dessert bands.
