    RP Tip #26: Set the AMP/MIXER Button

    by Richard Hunter November 19, 2015

    Digitech RPs have a button on the back panel labeled “Amp/Mixer.” We get a lot of questions about that button, all of which boil down to “which way should I set that button?” To answer that question we need to start with “what exactly does…

    Amp Modelers Really Do Sound Better Through Keyboard Amps

    by Richard Hunter June 28, 2015

    I jammed this weekend with my old friend guitarist Tom Gage. I brought about half of my rig: a Digitech RP500, iStomp running Swing Shift, and JamMan Stereo looper. I didn’t bring my Peavey KB2 keyboard amp because Tom had a Fender Deluxe Reverb available…

    Power Surges and Amp Modelers Don’t Mix Well

    by Richard Hunter June 20, 2015

    I own two Digitech RP500s, and it’s a good thing, because one of them might be about to die. The cause of death–if indeed it’s imminent–is a power surge.

    RP Tip #23: Use the Expression Pedal for SOMETHING

    by Richard Hunter February 20, 2014

    This tip’s message is simple. You’ve got an expression pedal. It makes the RP more expressive (as you might expect from a pedal whose name includes the word “expression”). So use it on every patch to express something.

    How to Set Your RP Up for Multi-Layered Looping

    by Richard Hunter October 12, 2013

    Now that the Huntersounds v17 Patchset for Digitech RP500 is shipping, I’ve started configuring my RP500 for live performance, which means adding in patches that are song-specific and setting up the sequences of patches that I use in my looped performances. Every looped song is…

    RP Tip #21: When the RP gets flaky, do a factory reset

    by Richard Hunter January 13, 2013

    RPs get flaky after a while if you make a lot of changes to them. I think that somewhere in the RP operating system, there is a garbage collection routine that gets rid of what’s left over after a patch is edited from the front…

    RP Tip #20: When you open the door to new sounds, new roles for the harp come too (clips included!)

    by Richard Hunter November 20, 2012

    I played three gigs last week with The Maw Band in Idaho, and of course I used the RP355 on all of them. I recorded all the shows on audio and video, and I’ve already started putting some of those recordings up on this site,…

    RP tip #19: setting the RP up so you can play it like an organ

    by Richard Hunter November 7, 2012

    All the RPs from the 150 on have a very nice rotary speaker effect, which is a good starting point for making convincing organ sounds. So the first thing to do in setting the RP up for sounding like an organ is to choose a…

    RP Tip #18: When You Need a Tuner, You’ve Got It

    by Richard Hunter June 30, 2012

    Rex Gehlbach sent us this great tip: I just discovered that my RP155 has a great chromatic tuner built in. Just hold both foot switches down until it says TU. The default is A=440 but the first knob will adjust it to A=441 or 442…
