Amok_ « a solid pedal with effects particularly successful »
Published on 02/24/12 at 05:14Bought at € 395 in January 2012, following the price cut (it is replaced by the GT100)
The RP10 is a multi-effect pedal that gives off a good solid feel.
It has 99 factory presets and 99 users. It is organized into four bank presets and you change the bank with the top pedals (which are also recorded loops) and was the 4 pedals left to select the preset.
In addition, it has two pedals to vary the presets and an expression pedal (for wah and other), and these three are totally allocable pedals as desired.
Controlled via midi / usb (never tried). A tuner. FX Loop (very interesting). A phrase loop (loop recorder sentence)
One end of treatment, mainly in series (you can also put in parallel), we have:
Compression - overdrive / distortion / fuzz - preamp - EQ - fx1 - fx2 - delay - chorus - reverb - effects loop and external noise suppressor 2 (possible change of chaining)
So you can put a distortion, limiter (purpose1), a flange (effet2), delay, chorus, reverb and an effects loop (preamp / amp / pedal, etc..)!
In the fx effects, there are wah, compressor, limiter, change tone, synth, octaver, pitch shifter, auto riff, phaser, flanger, chorus, tremolo, rotary, vibrato, ring, and other odd effects.
Found in overdrive / distortion pedal emulations of the mark (OD1 / 2) and other
UTILIZATION
The ergonomics are very good: the pedals are well thought out, reminds light effects is being seen, and can be accessed by each impact a specific button.
Small problem: for parameter changes, you can get lost and confused the button to use because you have some thing to do sometimes with a button, sometimes with another.
For the effects loop, it must be activated in the MASTER mode and select the Direct Mix to control the rate of reinjection.
SOUND QUALITY
Compression, EQ is correct.
All effects are very good and sound wonderful (flange / chorus / delays / reverb), the wah is not bad.
The distortion / drive are correct but do not tear, it can be improved with a pedal of choice (market distortion / drive is bloated)
The pre-amp emulation is not great, it is more or less at a POD. This lack of clarity and warmth. I am considering buying a preamp that will serve me as bass and keyboard.
OVERALL OPINION
Use for 2 months. I POD2 for 12 years and a few pedals.
In the end, it was a well made compact crankset with effects particularly successful. It is high above a POD2 example.
I was initially hesitant with the G-Major2, but with the price drop of GT10, G-Major is found almost two times more expensive (with the purchase of a midi pedal over € 550 100 € of crankset = 650 € against € 395) to a level barely above functions and less.
The GT10 is a good deal of time.
