Also, the wah pedal is too close to the third pedal and my heel keeps slipping over and activating it. The pedals are too close together! When jamming with my band I kept stomping on two at a time. I like the ability to re-store your own creations in place of the factory ones, but the factory presets are still saved as well. The cabinet modeling is pretty good, and the ability to model the different mike positions really gives you a lot of tone possibilities. The presets are pretty good, although there are some that I will have no use for and some are just down-right annoying. You can spend hours tweaking each effect to your liking.
#Digitech rpx400 manual
I was not too pleased with the store, because the unit was a demo and they couldn't find the manual at first and I don't think the power supply is the right one. Heck, if you middle level player, this a good unit.īought it at Daddy's Junky Music in Portland, Maine for $179.00. If you are an entry level player, looking for a good, cheap effects unit, this is it. Now, the unit is encased in a metal chassis, and so it's pretty durable, pretty sturdy. In the studio (hehehe, my room, you could call it also) I record effect switches separately, so this is not a problem. However, it is not noticeable on live presentations. The only thing that I don't like, that I might mention about this unit, is the fact that it takes a small moment to switch from preset to preset, as if maybe, the unit processes a little slow. Also the V-switch which lets you turn the wah on or off on whatever preset you are on, just like if you had the individual pedal. If someone says that this unit stinks is because they haven't explored it or exploited it, and probably 'cause they know diddly squat about effects, it is not necessarily the unit's fault.Īnyway, going on, some other features that I really like are the A/B switch for switching amps, which is awesome for changing to distortion while retaining your effects, or to a louder sound, for solos and stuff. Also, you have to be aware of what each effect is capable of doing. You have to remember that you can't just use the presets, you have to make your own sound, and the unit is very easy to operate so that you can do just that. I mean, it sounds great connected directly to the console!! The speaker simulations are very good. Listen everybody, if you want a good and cheap guitar processor, this is it. The pitch shift and whammy were not that good, but I definitely forgive that considering the quality of the other effects. The yaya, the synthtalk I haven't much use for them, I'm more into blues rock and so I use them little, but they're an interesting creative tool. The other effects I don't really use much.
The phaser, flanger, tremolo, wah and compression are all really good, in my opinion.
Delay and chorus are very clear and have lots of configuration options for you to play with. I am quite sure that the original amps probably sound better, but let me tell ya, for all of us who don't have the money, Digitech sure is a lifesaver. The Marshall and Fender models sound really good.
It is my experience that digital distortions and overdrives are just not good at all, however the distortions on this unit are, to say the least, awesome. I have to say that I was positively surprised at the creative potential with this unit. There's a lot to like about this unit, considering the price and the size. I went for this unit because of Digitech's fame for good products
#Digitech rpx400 full
I normally prefer analog pedals over Digital/Modeling pedals, but as it was getting hard to maintain, I decided to go for a full effects digital unit. I got this effects unit at the local music store 'cause my individual effect pedals were giving me too much of a hassle.
