DigiTech RP-20 VALVE Manuale Utente Scaricare il pdf (Pagina 2)

The

manual is only 50

pages

long

and is

essential read almost before

you plug

your guitar

into the RP1000. Why? Well,

there

are

200

presets

00 factory and 1 00 user),

which in Preset mode

are accessed via the

10 footswitches in 10

banks of 10, and in

Pedalboard mode

are accessed in 20 banks

five via the lower row

footswitches,

while

the

other five can switch individual

effects types

(Compressor,

Distortion,

Chorus/FX, Delay

and

Reverb) in or out. Underthe

alphanumeric

display

that tells

you

where

you

are and what

you're

doing, theret a l0 x 6 matrix

accessed via

Up/Down

buttons, and six rotary encoders

that

let

you

adjust

parameters.There

are

over 1 60

effects models

(stomp

boxes, choruses,

delays,

amps

and cabs)

plus

40 tone libraries

and 40

effects libraries

to navigate

your

way

through.

And thatt

just

for

starters!

you'll

by now have realised,

the RP1 000 is

pretty

complex

piece

of kit, but if

you

read

the

manual

(which

can be freely downloaded from

the DigiTech website)

you'll

also discover

that

it isn't actually that complicated to use

and,

fact, is actually

pretty

intuitive once

you

know

its major landmarks. As I don't have the

entire

issue of this magazine to fill with this review,

amp loop.

When

you go

into

Bypass,

these two

loops remain

active, and

since

your guitar's

signal

is unaffected,

you've

always

got your

pure

amplifier

and effect

pedal

tone sitting

there. Some

of us, in the

past,

have had to build

switching

pedalboards

half

a stage wide to

get

this level

of functionality.

In fact, when

you're

pedalboard

mode with

the amp

and cab

simulation

switched out,

the RP1000

acts as

a comprehensive,

cost-effective

and capable

effects

switching system,

and its

purchase

could

well be

justified

that alone.

Just

below the Stomp

Loop footswitch

sits the

Tap

Tempo footswitch,

which

lets

you

set

delay

times that

are

time with

your playing

just

stepping on

the

footswitch

time with

your

music.

You can

experiment by

tapping once

per

bar on the downbeat,

twice

oer bar on the on

beat and

the offbeat, and

then four times

per

bar... and so on. lfyou've

never sync'ed delay

times

your playing, you'll

be surprised at

just

how much better

the

result

sounds and feels.

The in-built

tuner is another highly

practical

item.

Stand on the current

oreset's footswitch

for two seconds

and the RP1 000

cycles through

Bypass

toTuner mode.The

tuner is very easy to

use, displaying the note

played,

with

arrows to

tell

you

when

you're

sharp or flat. lf

you're

into

detuning, no

problem;you

can

pick

alternate

references,

either in

semitone format

(down

G-flat)

or between A427

and A453 should

you

need

to move away from

4440.

Three

of the six rotary

encoders

that sit

under

the 10 x

matrix

ha\re

their own top-level

functions in Preset

and Pedalboard

modes. On

the extreme left, knob

one selects

from the list

of40 amp

tones in theTone

Library. Next, knob

two does the same

thing for

the 40 effect chains

in the

Effects Library,

and knob three

controls

the balance between

effects

and the dry signal.

The

other

three encoders

(knobs

four, five

and

six) handle

Amp Gain, Amp

Level and

Master

Level,

plus

a selection

ofeffects

parameters

their

parts

of the matrix.

Processor

All ofthis means that

you

can set up

PerfortninuMusician

I also

don't intend to list out every

effect

pedal,

amplifier model

and cabinet model that

the

RP1000 offers,

you'll

find all that information

on DigiTech's website.

Modes

and loops

l've

already briefly described the

two RP1000

toplevel operating modes, Preset and

Pedalboard, which

are set via a front-panel

switch that nestles

below the

Amp/Cabinet

Bypass switch

on the

right

of the

matrix.

Bypassing everything

the

RP1000

is a simple

matter of stepping on the footswitch that called

up the current

preset.

lt's worth noting

that in

Bypass mode

your guitar

doesnt

through

any

processing,

which means that there isn't

any

degradation of

your

original

sound

this mode.

The RP1000 also features two switchable

external loops:'stomp'and'ampi In

the amp loop

you

have the choice of inserting

your

favourite

preamp,

or if

you

have a

guitar

amplifier

with

an effects send and return

you

can run

the Amp

Loop

Send out to the input of

your

amplifier,

connect the amp's effects send to the Amp Loop

Return

and

run

the output ofthe RP1 000 back

to the amo's effects return. The footswitchable

stomp loop lets

you

insert

your

favourite

pedals

into the RP1 000t effects chain,

either before or

after the internal amp model and

the external

...there

isn't

anything else around

that'll do

anywhere

near

much

such an elegant

and

cost-effective

line.

Built of solid metal with an

abundance of

black

and shiny metallic detailing,

the

RP1000

very definitely looks

the

part.

Add in heavy-duty

switches for

you

to stomp on and

integrated

expression

pedal,

which can

be set to control

almost any of the RP1000's

functions in real

time, and

you

have the basis

of a very tasty,

oor-mounted

multi-effects

unit.

Essential

reading

Included with the RP1000 is a manual, a Cubase

LE 4 DVD and wall-wart

power

supply. Sadly

(as

is almost always the case), the

power

supply

doesn't have a locking connector, which on

units supposedly designed for stage use, I

just

can't understand. l'm slowly being

driven to the

conclusion that many manufacturers

actually

don't expect any of us, apart from a mad few,

out

gigging

with their

gearl

Cubase

LE 4

(which

you

have to install

and register) | don't Intend to

get

intq

other

than to say that the RP1 000, once

you've

downloaded and installed the USB drivers, offers

two simultaneous

stereo USB streams, which

means that the stereo output

ofthe

RPl

000

can be streamed to and from a

comouter in the

exDected manner.
