Product Description


Free 20-Second Looper Upgrade for the RP500 Multi-Effect Switching System, now available via USB update at DigiTech's website!

The DigiTech RP500 takes the complexity of an effect switching system and combines it with the simplicity of stompboxes. Full arsenals of tones are at your disposal, all easily controlled. If you're a player who takes command of their tone by turning individual pedals on and off, enable the Pedalboard Mode button and instantly use the 5 footswitches to turn the RP500's stompboxes and effects on and off within a program. If you are tired with the effect tap-dance and want to concentrate on playing, the DigiTech RP500's Preset Mode gives you instant access to 5 totally different sounds with the single press of a footswitch (100 presets total across 20 different banks). Now the RP500 features a 20-second looper. Simply play, loop, change tones then overdub. It's that easy.

No matter how you like to control your sound, the DigiTech RP500 has a solution for you.

Plenty of Versatility

Every guitar player is different from their core tone, how they achieve it, and how they control it on stage. Whether you get your tone from your amp and just need a few effects or get your tone from a single box the DigiTech RP500 has the sounds and control over them that you need. Unlike multi-effects that take over your tone and limit your control, the RP500 is an effect switching system over internal stompboxes, effects, and amps. Control your tones in Preset or Pedalboard mode. The Preset mode allows you to switch between saved presets and can drastically differ from one to another. The RP500's Pedalboard mode allows you to turn on an off individual effects and stompboxes with ease within a preset.

To top it off, the unique Amp/Cabinet Bypass mode defeats internal amplifiers and cabinets in the DigiTech RP500 leaving you with just stompboxes and effects. Your RP500 is now the perfect collection of stompboxes and effects with unprecedented control to use with your distorted or clean amplifier. Augment and spice up your sound any way you'd like and retain the control you need with the DigiTech RP500.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (48 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great sound for the studio. Not impressed when playing live."
Sound: The sound is a bit digital on some of the effects, mainly the heavy distortion. The 65 deluxe reverb and twin reverb amps on the board do sound very convincing. I played this board out a few times direct through the PA. It sounded alright, but not as good as an actual amp with a few stand alone pedals. I will use this in the home studio, which is its highlight, but not out to a gig again. Feature: TOO many features, read the manual so you can edit your own preferences. It sounds great recorded direct into a computer. Ease of Use: Pretty staight forward after learning how to use it. Quality: It seems very tough Value: If you dont want to buy amps and pedals to get a sound, which may cost thousands, this is the next best thing. The Wow Factor: I think it is great. I would buy it again

"Killer unit and it has a tuner!"
Sound: I have the Pod Pro and The V-Amp and this units does all and more. I was never a fan of the all in one floor models but this unit changed my mind. The factory sounds are cool but to REALLY get what the RP500 can do you will need to edit to get "your" sound. I stomp boxes like the TS808, TS9 and MXR are spot on. This is the best sounding "direct" line unit I've used yet. Feature: I love the versatility this unit has you can run in preset patch mode or pedal mode to get the feel of vintage stomp boxes. For the folks who think there is no tuner READ the manual! Hold the bypass button down for 2 sec and the tuner pops right up. Also for the wah pedal simply press down and its on any patch. Ease of Use: It took me about 30 min to fully set this up with my main seven patches for live use. Quality: TANK! nuff said. Value: For the money you can't beat this unit. I almost went with the RP1000 but I have no need for a drum machine (I have battery3 and reason 4)in my guitar effects. The 20 sec loop feature would have been cool but not for the additional cash. Manufacturer Support: No issues yet so I have no idea. The Wow Factor: Killer, all black with silver and red. Overall: So far I've had it for a few months and I 100% love it.
