Check out the V16 RP Patches!
The patches for the v16 Huntersounds Digitech RP patchset update are all ready, so it’s time to hear the samples! I played these pieces with a Hohner Marine Band Deluxe in A, into an Audix Fireball V mic, into a Digitech RP255, into a Peavey KB2 keyboard amp. Samples were recorded using a Zoom H4 positioned about a foot in front of the KB2 grill, pointing at the center of the speaker. Samples were normalized to the same volume level, and are otherwise unedited. Almost every patch from the RP250/255 V16 set is represented here; there are a few more patches in the RP350/355 set yet to be added. Stay tuned for those. The patches sound very much the same on the 250/255/350/355, in case you’re wondering, with a few exceptions for FX and amp models that aren’t available on the 250/255/350.

I really like the sound of the CHAMPC. I wonder if you made a recording using a vintage Tweed Champ and the RP version that a person could easily distinguish and ultimately consider the vintage champ superior? I would think in a blind test the results would be mixed. If you recorded both in a live band situation with other instruments I would think the difference would be practically indistinguishable. Unless the feedback from the vintage amp gave it away. 🙂
Interesting question. The fact is that no two “real” amps sound exactly alike, meaning that you could put two vintage champs up alongside each other and the tones would be different to some extent. (And yes, real amps feed back more than modeled amps, at least when I do the modeling.) Given that it’s practically impossible to make one amp sound exactly like another, I generally do NOT try to duplicate a given amp’s sound when I design patches–I just try to make them sound good, period.
And yeah, the CHAMPC patch sounds good. My fave is CHAMPB. Those Bassman cabinet model sounds work (almost) every time.
I didn’t mean to imply they would sound exactly alike, I meant to say that it would be difficult to tell which was the vintage amp, which was the RP, and which sounded better.
Right, I got that. I guess I was reacting to a different question in my mind…
Again everything is ok, effects are good. Only big con is responce of virtual amps to attack and dynamics. The same as my Line6 POD HD, unfortunately. So steel keep my tube amp.
Yo Boris,
If it sounds good, it is good. This stuff sounds good. The fact that it isn’t exactly the same as a particular tube amp isn’t an issue for me. What’s important is that every time I play out, people rave about the sound. That’s the effect I’m always looking for.
I week from getting the new patch set. I’m excited! 🙂
