Digitech RP500 Preset Demo

[@haloinyasha1]

This is a very good demo video. I've been thinking of buying this unit also and I'm pretty sure I'll get it now.

[@ta3itzis]

this demo is waaaaayyy better than the official one... nice job man!!

[@Richard1Ames]

Just bought the RP 500 for my electric violin, great review here - thanks!

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

excellent! amp modeling has gotten very good nowadays - much better than people think! I love my POD X3, but I'd like to try this one too!

[@PumpkinSeed17]

@StratBanez101 That should work fine. You'll probably want to run the guitar cable path to the other pedals before the RP500, ESPECIALLY if you'll be using the RP500's Amp and Cabinet modeling. I currently run my guitar through a 10 band EQ, then into the RP500, and it works fine.

[@Eliasoz]

Wow, this is bounds above the level of the rp355. Sounds much much more natural.

[@vapor9699]

I have been looking at this unit, and this video really helped me make the decision. Well done, many thanks.

[@VintageRandom]

Hey Ralf, nice job. That Suhr is so well balanced. Sounds great with this unit.

[@KennethRMullins]

I did all of that and it let the rp play but the computer videos like you tube ones were so distorted not audible at all... Thankx for taking time from your hectic schedule to help me...and by the way You are an AMAZING GUITARIST when you riff for sake of playing...You are just killer..... Ray

[@EvanN108]

haha when you said the preset for you hair style, oh I ordered an rp355 and your video really helped me make a decision so thank you!

[@BBK727]

@StefanTylerHelton Im not sure if its the amp... i've used many pedals before and they've sounded great. The amp i use is a fender deluxe tube amp with a 15in speaker. It may just be a malfunction in the pedal itself... Ill probably get it checked out

[@ajbrown5805]

"Not exactly shredding" he says haha great playing!

[@ihearthipsters]

I'm buying one of these soon and this was very helpful, thank you.

[@lookintocool]

very nice demo, thanks for your time. what gage strings you using? how are the harmonies on this pedal? thanks again

[@robbymarquez8245]

Awesome playing dude I love my rp500!

[@suvojeetdas7355]

Is it worth buying in 2019?

[@swardmusic]

​@@suvojeetdas7355im loving it in 2024

[@265ENOCK]

@ghost666HAZE Yes That's the preset mode

[@TheAnarchy4life]

@ralfjung GREAT VIDEO! What do you suggest : DIGITECH RP500 or the BOSS ME70 ?

[@ryker6richard]

I APPRICIATE YOUR GOOD GUITAR WORK WITH THE PEDAL,,,,, PEOPLE THAT CANT PLAY WELL MAKES THE PEDAL SOUND CRAPPY.... THANKS, GOOD SOUNDS........

[@fuchikapesta]

dude in the vid . . . you rock why hide your face! I love digitech use to own a rp250. Moved on to line6. I miss my digitech! Loved that little thing!

[@ihatebobsaget1989]

theyre exactly equal except rp also has wah and phaser. but it is a little more expensive than a pod 2.0 though so it balances out.

[@nicospain]

awesome sound, but i have a question, i have the rp350 an it had a switch that you can select 2 setups of amp/cab and eq, the rp500 does have???

[@chucksguitarshop]

Very informative & well presented. Thank you.

[@WutangClan4LiF3]

@ralfjung nice video man. I m comfused. First of all Pod x3 live vs Digitech rp500 what do you believe? My second and basic question is have you ever tried to connect it to your studio monitors? its Rca connection?

[@paul_solomons]

i was thinking of buying this pedal, its great and amazing, however i have a question. say you made a preset with distortion and wahwah, would you be able to turn on and off the wah? because some songs i play engage the wah halfway through the solo. Would love hearing from you, great vid, thanks for your help. Acousticfrenzy

[@TheAngello120]

I bought the 500 as a stand-by pedal and the sounds are very good,also editing and creating are a breeze. lack of Midi is bad for pro-use and should be included,the rp1000 also lacks this so for the extra price the 500 is a better bet,you can play in preset mode and still change patches up or down so the extra 5 buttons are not needed,I have rigged a small lever that operates the patch button for quick-change and it works fine,velcro's on to the body when in use,pull off and store when not.

[@Wiseman501]

I heard a little taste of the Satch boogie in there! I like your Silver Surfer shirt too. Joe Satriani is the MAN!

[@ghost666HAZE]

Could you make certain presets then assign them to the five stomp buttons? like say in a a gig your playing rhythm then click the number three stomp button and it switches to a lead sound?

[@Whyrendog]

I'm guessing from looking around, the GNX3000 is the "lesser" version and to make up for it, they throw in stuff that you probably already have like Cakewalk. It sounds like the old digitech (thin) sound to me.

[@Whyrendog]

I just actually heard a video of someone playing through the GNX. It sounds really good, but it really shines with multitracks. To my ear, this is good enough because I would just use basic effects, wah, etc; and use better effects (OCD, good quality Parametric EQ, MIDIVerb) to shape the sound. I'm going for a more classic tube sound with the HT-5H, but if you like this sound I would get this one and the OCD at the very least and see how that sounds.

[@loljonasfail]

@ralfjung the link I was trying to send you was a link to lebron by buckethead.

[@VintageRandom]

Hey Ralf, thanks again for the info on the email the other day. My new RP500 is sitting in my garage waiting for me to get back home (from Thanksgiving holiday). Interested to hear how it sounds with the Jamman and I'll let you know (will likely do a video as well). Thanks again friend. Joe Faraldi (ImageRiver)

[@bourgeoiscaesar]

@BBK7272 I would wager that it's your amp. Fender amps are great, but when you get into distortion effects and things like that they sound terrible. My personal suggestion for going for something like this would be a Marshall if you have the money, or a Line 6 Spider amp for a bit less.

[@akaboo69]

if you get it make alive presets and studio presets when Live going threw a amplifier turn off the cab simulation when you are in the studio recording direct in use cab sim the reason you get mixed reviews may be due to the fact that people don't know how to use there pedals. So key points when going threw an amp don't use the cab simualtor, when in going threw a mixer use the cab sim

[@DazedAndConfused1974]

Wow man!! How do you get it to sound soooo nice and clean. Mine deff doesnt sound as good as this.....

[@JoloCarrera]

So the clarity depends on how good the cables are, and not necessarily only on the amplifiers/output devices?

[@JohnJonesRocketCity]

very nice demo

[@Meteotrance]

another good thing with this pedalboard is when you change the type of guitar you used, the sound change also, not like the pod, it's not masking the real tone of your Telecaster or your Gibson SG style.

[@NaughtyMing]

i give u 9/10 from this review , ur the man .

[@BeatDemon08]

This looks damn good... Or at least he makes it look good

[@akaboo69]

no problem now line 6 pedals for some odd reason sound bad when cab sim is turned off I am borrowing a POD for the next week or two and I turned off its cab sim and it sounded fizzy and thin threw a live amp

[@KennethRMullins]

Hey Ralf..love the demos..Can I use the 4 cable method with this unit? Thank for posting the videos and a hopeful reply !!!!!!

[@paul_solomons]

hey mann, i love the recto sound, great tone! anyways my question was if you have an amp model (dual rectifier lets say) then can you assign that to the distortion stompbox and clean it up when you press the distortion off ? so basically can you use a amp model as a distortion. Thanks alot, looking forward to your reply, great vid 5 stars and subscribed! TheAcousticFrenzy

[@IggyBing]

Wow - preset 8 just sold me on this unit!

[@poinkero]

i think the picking sound his vocal mic picked up helped a lot, hehehehe...made the sounds clearer

[@guitarsix6]

sounds great i'm in the process of buying a new pedal and was originally looking at the Boss me70 and the Zoom G9 2tt then saw this and now i'm really confused. Help!!!

[@MeTaLcRaSh5]

@ralfjung Hey, esta pedalera se puede utilizar conectar directamente a unos audifonos, sin tener que utilizar ningun amplificador??? -.- soy nuevo en esto -.-

[@stchase24]

I'm thinking about purchasing one of these. But I know that it doesn't originally come with a loop station. Do the new downloadable patches include a loop station?

[@afnan789]

can i get that quality of sound at 3:25 with rp355 record with cubase le4 which included with the pedal?

[@Macsk8ing]

@ralfjung Hello, whats the difference bettween the RP255 and these one? Thanks.

[@WuDz1]

Hi, i used to have a gnx3000 but got rid of it because of the latency when changing patches, have they sorted the problem with this model cos i love the tone from digitech gear just couldnt use it live because of the delay when swapping patches. cheers

[@spacemonkeyzass]

How would you rate the rp 500 against the zoom g7 or boss gt-10? So far, I am leaning towards the digitech. I love your demo. Very nice. är du Svensk?

[@RobKokochak]

What Suhr pickups are in that guitar? Sounds great

[@mhd9890]

Hey, can i use two modulations together? As in can use the pitch shifter(not whammy) with chorus?

[@gabrielrodriguez6677]

Hi man! Great video... hey, I was wonderin' which is the guitar you're using?

[@bourgeoiscaesar]

@BBK727 What kind of amp do you use? If it's a low quality amp, even the best pedal won't sound good

[@utubecenseorstruth]

if i want to use the duel recto and then have a clean tone for when i play a song like alone again by dokken how do i do this. i would really appreciate the help. I just got this and it is great, but harder to use than my 150

[@Kazza183]

hi ralf... I own this effect unit, and I'd like to ask, are you using a guitar amp cabinet or a full range monitor speaker for this video? thx

[@tomguna15]

I have the rp500, and have the problem of i can't make my distortion and clean sound close to its volume?. how can i make it close?.. and also, i wonder. sometimes, after I unplug the effect then plug it again, my presets somehow is gone.. hope you can help me.. thanks.. Philippines

[@akaboo69]

@ralfjung will they up date the rp 500 and 1000 with maybe more sounds

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

I am buying this next week!

[@k0staZ]

Hey Ralf i have another question Can i do that on Rp500? Have the pedalboard mode and have saved different pedalboards on the banks so i can switch from a classic rock pedalboard to a heavy metal or from GNR stuff to Metallica

[@delacruzneili]

hello, can anybody explain to me the concept of amp effects? I mean the randall/marshall/mezaboogie/ cabinet included in a multi-effects? please, I'm having real hard times understanding it. If i have a Laney cabinet, why do i still have to use the Marshall cabinet amp embeded in the multi-effect guitar processor? please, I am so green with those concepts. hope you understand..

[@29396]

What happens if you use an acoustic guitar with the acoustic simulator?

[@fckdahlloff]

Hey man, sup? I bought this RP500 cus of your review. Its amazing. Is yours connected to a speaker or direct recording(which i dont think so)? Also, you are an amazing guitarist, I wish I could be like you cus i feel stucked in my playing, everything i play sounds so repetitive... Any advice? It would be so nice to be able to play like you. Also, which are the chords which you play in the clean version for those metalheads? I would appreciate your response. Thanks.

[@ShredWithMe]

Thanks for the info. How do i update it? Something to do with the Cd it came with?

[@kye903]

Hi. Do you get better sound quality if you use the 2 XLR outputs into your interface, instead of using the USB cable..? Or do they both sound the same? Thanks.

[@isaquex1]

Hey, tienes buenos sonidos!!!! me podrias pasar los patches??? tengo una RP500 pero no encuentro esos sonidos.... gracias

[@KennethRMullins]

Can you provide me with an answer or solution why my RP 500 is disorted when I tried to run it into our PA....I used an XLR cord and it was so distorted it was unreal...I love the pedal through my amp but wanted to run it direct through the PA....

[@MrVision14]

Play Gospel quartet music. How do i setup my rp 500 so i get a great sound? I play a fender strat.

[@BBK727]

Hi, i purchased the rp500 a few weeks ago and i think somethings wrong with it. maybe you could help... whenever i plug it into my amp or try to record a song, the pedal doesn't seem to have that full punchy sound like you have in your vids. Its rather quite and all the presets/distortions etc. sound choppy. I followed all the directions in the manual and tried many different setups. Is there something i need to do to the pedal that im not aware about? should i get it checked out?

[@vickold]

r u using the compputer to rec or is ure amp ? what amp woould u choose ?

[@loljonasfail]

how do you assign the whammy pedal to other presets? I've tried, and I can't seem to get it right....

[@nebilmetalhead11]

im really hating my digitech rp500 right know i cant get rid of feedback with any amp at high distrtion when i turn the noise suppresor on it only gives you 5 seconds of sustain and the notes vanishes and if you pick light the note dosent come out so you cant tap with the rp if yu have the noise suppressor on and when u turn it off its so noisy you cant hear your guitar someone help because if i dont fix this im going to get a boss me-70 in return fro this

[@shutterdock]

the problem was the power supply only..working fine now..but i find that all the ods and the wahs sound the same..only amp&cab sims seem to make a diff..is is just me or is the same for everyone..?

[@tomguna15]

Mr. Ralfjung, i have a problem with my RP500, when i downloaded the new firmware version w/c is 2.0, my expression pedal seems not to work anymore, i also tried to reinstall its firmware and still it doesn't work. and when it is undergoing calibration, it says toe down, when i press the "reverb" button, it says toe up, when i press it again now it says "error". i wonder why does it happen?

[@k0staZ]

I ordered mine! Are the presets you play tweaked? or default

[@KennethRMullins]

I bought and added the software to my computer,set everything up...then no sound..my computer has its sound but when I come to you tube no sound..I can click on another video and I hear my computer click thru the speakers but no sound from video...I disconnect the usb from the computer ,exit my home page and open it again then sound from you tube can you help me please

[@kibekzz]

[@danielguitar5150]

how does this compare to the vox tonelab st?

[@rolando0572]

I want to know if the rp 500 can put infinite repeats with the delay

[@loljonasfail]

I bought the rp500, and I like some of the tones I could get out of it, but I somehow can't manage to get the tone in this: watch?v=pHMbUR-0m2k&feature=related Any tips on what amp cab models I should use, what distortion, what type of chorus/delay etc. I run through a fender stage 100 dps, and use an esp m100fm and a samick les paul.

[@kibekzz]

dude..how did u do that??i mean how did u record it directly to pc??ru using the sound card or just directli via the usb cable??

[@29396]

Which one is better value for money... Digitech GNX3000 or RP500?

[@monoBAYO]

Love you man, love your guitar too :)

[@BradleyJohnHunt]

this demo walks all over the official one

[@moronslave]

nice, what's the guitar?

[@kibekzz]

did u using the software that given ??

[@tuffeazy]

does this have drum patterns in it

[@jazu40]

Hi Ralf. Does RP355 sound similar?

[@ShredWithMe]

I have had my rp500 since i was 18, im now 21. The volume pedal stopped responding along with the wah/whammy. If anyone has any idea to fix this please let me know....Thumbs this up because i really need an answer. Thanks.

[@Theonewhoatethechips]

Love your t-shirt

[@Calihan]

This doesn't really relate much to your video (other than I am interested in the RP500) but how are you recording your video and speech when you are recording direct from the rp500?

[@RobPierce103]

it seems like when you play this, it sounds different everytime, are you playing through an amp? or speakers?

[@JoloCarrera]

Hey Ralf, I bought an RP500 unit a few months ago, how come the presets on your recording sound super clear? I tried listening to them through my amplifiers, even on headphones, but the clarity and punch on your recordings are killer! Unbelievable! Any secret sauce in there?=)

[@sgsp10]

Hi man. What preset used in the last song?

[@supergeoffy]

is it really as good at it sounds? im just trying to decide right now. hit me up!

[@k0staZ]

What guitar do you use?

[@EVILWS666]

I'm in your EXACT situation, with the same amp. I'm getting tired of the shitty presets and the tone on the line 6, and I think I might buy this thing..

[@ghost666HAZE]

@DREMSproductions BRILL!!!

[@ToastThatHo]

what guitar is that?
