DigiTech RPX400 Guitar Multi-Effects Pedal

Manufacturer's Description for DigiTech RPX400 Guitar Multi-Effects Pedal

Think of it as the ultimate floor processor with direct XLR speaker compensated outs to run to your PA, and a USB recording interface with all of the ins and outs you'll ever need.

Digitech's new RPx400 is the first modeling floor processor with true 2-way computer connectivity and extra I/O to handle vocals, other instruments and monitoring. With everything you need to record (including a kick-ass floor processor), this is truly digital recording designed by guitarists for guitarists.

On stage you can have the best of both worlds by using the separate 1/4 in. and XLR outputs to send their sound to the amplifier or the PA, using DigiTech's award-winning cabinet modeling. When you are ready to record, all of your tone is ready to stream directly into the PC. But it doesn't stop there; you can also record vocals using the built-in mic-pre amp. Or, use the stereo line level inputs to record any instrument -- just plug and play.

For a limited time Digitech is also including new recording software, designed by Cakewalk® and DigiTech, getting you on your way to recording and burning your next hit CD.

The addition of separate speaker-compensated stereo XLR outputs and 1/4 in. outputs lets you send stereo effects incorporating amp-cabinet modeling compensated for a full-range PA system, while sending the same effects without compensation to the player's guitar amp.

The RPx400 is the first modeling effects processor to allow seamless transition for guitarists between live performance and recording applications. The USB computer interface simultaneously streams four processed and unprocessed guitar, microphone and line level signals to the computer for recording, while receiving a stereo mix back from the computer. Primary recording functions such as arming of tracks, execution of record, play, stop commands are controlled by pedals on the processor, providing hands-free operation, allowing the musician to concentrate of the performance.

The RPx400 hosts a full compliment of inputs and outputs, elimination the need for an external mixer or audio interface. In addition to the guitar input, the RPx400 includes an XLR microphone input with level control and stereo line inputs to allow simultaneous processing and streaming of acoustic and line-level sources as well as guitar. A stereo 'Jam-along' input lets you connect a CD player, cassette or MP3 player to the RPx400 for practice and jamming. Four XLR analog outs let you send different signals to your guitar amp and PA simultaneously. A stereo headphone jack allows you to monitor from the RPx400 during recording or practice using headphones.

The RPx400 includes 3 pedals and an expression pedal that control the effects and sends messages to a connected computer via USB. On-board rhythm programmer with 30 patterns and adjustable tempo, and a digital guitar tuner round out the features. zZounds is an authorized dealer of DigiTech products.
