All user reviews for the Boss RPS-10 Digital Pitch Shifter/Delay

Time harmonizer 12 bits (with compression VCA to have a SNR close to a 16-bit processing)
Mono. Jack connector. External power supply 5 v.

UTILIZATION

Simple. Excellent ergonomics (color, clarity, ...)

SOUND QUALITY

This model is an evolution of RDD 10 (simple delay) by harmonizing ± 1 October
Of course, this opinion is in 2011, this product is only interesting for the sonority Vintage own time to 12 bits (the grain). Harmonization is not for use on particular will vote subject.
My only purpose of harmonization: mild or pronounced detune the sounds and keyboards (for panning in the mix: big sound guaranteed)
The deadline is RDD10 idem. Clean, efficient.
This product has a sound quite far from the hot side of a metal-aggressive "other 16-bit products. A real time "vintage" of the time VANGELIS / Jarre, affordable.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not use more than very occasionally, with little change in the digital mix. But he stayed in my audio rack "possible"

- Delay-period pitch shifter and reverse half-rack format.

- Digital effect dating from the 80's

- All connectors and mono audio only - no MIDI - Hold and Remote (footswitch input jack 6.35)

For hackers are links on the net to extend the time period (up to 40 seconds !!!). For more cons in the delay is longer than the signal is degraded (bitcrushing).


UTILIZATION

As the title of the opinion ...
Is connected and you turn the pots, and then you realize it's been half an hour that it is driven tripper on a loop. Very good!
not need the manual, it is otherwise on the net, but there really is no mystery.



SOUND QUALITY

I personally find it very effective for the dub, plugged into a loop to start returning to a. Otherwise the delay itself is a bit limited.

Clearly for me it's very typical "dub" and that's what I wanted.
I pass in the skank, keyboards, sax, samples of everything and Me ... I'm tired.

I mostly live delay. The pitch-shift effect is to me a little too "catalog", in short I'm not a fan of pitch-shifting in general but it works very well. Dely The reverse also works well.



OVERALL OPINION

it's been about a year since I have it, bought secondhand for 60 euros.

I tried a Boss I think the DD 100, the brief delay, boss guitar well known.
I much prefer it more convenient for me the half-rack that guitar pedals.

I like the simplicity of this unit, the pots, no menu ... and you plug it gets off, no loss of time programming etc. ...

For what it cost me so I would do this choice without hesitation.

Delay, pitch shifter
Indeed it is a half rack hardware (rack mount)
audio connections! a mono!

UTILIZATION

this effect is very simple to use!
advantage of this effect is access to knobs and play well on the pitch so long delay! Live!

SOUND QUALITY

I use to mix my prods in dub! on a table and it mixes the top! access to the volume pot! allows many alternative sound! which is very interesting! and adds life to a live mix!

OVERALL OPINION

5 months
I had a roland re 150 space echo and tested some other devices

the top for the price (easy to carry) and guaranteed effect!

so essential!

What are the effects, types of effects available?
delay and pitch shifter

Is this a rack or rack-mount model?
half rack

What technology is used?
Digital

What is the connection?
Mono Delay!
So an input jack (or RCA) and an output jack (or RCA)
Additional bonus entries by that I do not cons for the "operation":
Keyboard control (Jack), tuner out (always jack), effect remote (same), and hold (I'll let you guess ...)

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple?
Very simple, everything is to be with the control knobs on the front. Everything can be tested without risk and instinctively, the functions are audible. There is also a pad behind (-10 or -20 dB).
What is nice is that you can control the "range" (the millisecond between each repetition) with a potentiometer on edge and from 800 to 400 to 200 ms ... ... and also with the volume pot "fine "(without notch) through intermediate values. Biensure feedback that can be thoroughly caller to endless repetitions (infinite infinite infinite infinite infinite .......) and a knob to "mix (wet or dry what)
There is also the inverse function that reverses the sound of the delay. I am not trained in the sport but sometimes it's interesting.
Otherwise I do not use the pitch shifter, but it is as effective ... (For those who do not want a delay, if the opportunities are there also rdd rdd-10 and-20 that have more features level delay)

The manual is clear and sufficient?
I do not have to but I had seen on the net in English ... So a little research classic ...

Editing sounds and effects is easy?
Yes very.

SOUND QUALITY

Effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
For that I use yes, enormously. And with a little more objectively I would say that in most situations it is suitable for all types of users.

Which instruments do you use?
For the moment a dub siren (which wwwiiiiuuuuuwwiiu but when I changed the config, I would put an insert in and bid on any type of sound inside.

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
9 months

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
No, this is my first delay.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
most: it sounds very good, it does what I ask, small (thus easy to carry), um ... cute?

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
It is no longer new. Short times there are good opportunities Defois a little less ... but whatever happens it is well worth the blow to be buying! (Rather rare anyway, so especially do not hesitate!)

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Yes
