An Open Letter to Digitech: Let’s Get With the (Software) Program
Yo Digi-folks, I’ve been an avid user of Digitech’s products since roughly the year 2000. I own four loopers made by Digitech, and nine Digitech RPs of various sizes, shapes, and capabilities. I don’t need to be convinced that the hardware works very, very well….
Looping with the Pigtronix Infinity
I’ve been using the Digitech JamMan Solo XT, Jamsynced to an Express XT, for a few months now. It’s a decent setup for multi-track looping, and certainly the most powerful setup at anything near its price point, but it’s got some issues where live performance…
Recording for the next Richard Hunter record begins in July!
It’s been over a decade since my most recent CD was released. In the meantime, I’ve been busy with lots of stuff; I wrote three books, I saved my wife’s life a couple of times, and I created a revolutionary new way for harmonica players…

We’re ending development of new patches for recently discontinued Digitech RPs
We’ve been making patchsets for the Digitech RPs since the early 2000s, when we started with the RP200. We’ve designed some great sounds for these devices, and we’ll continue to do so. However, when a manufacturer stops making a device, there’s no point in continuing…
RP500 Patch Update #1 is Here!
Our first update to the Huntersounds patch set for Digitech RP500 was shipped to all our RP500 licensees today (16 October 2015). This update contains 23 patches, all designed to make full use of the RP500’s array of footswitches to enable a player to easily…
New Huntersounds RP500 patches coming in 2 weeks!
I’ve been steadily developing a new set of patches for the Digitech RP500, whose stompbox-inspired footswitch setup begs for patches that include every category of effect Digitech puts in the box.
