MGR/Blue Monkey « Digitech RP100 Guitar Pedal »
Published on 01/03/03 at 15:00The main reason i wanted this pedal was because it was real cheap, something like 100 dollars. After just playing out of the amp, I wanted some cool effects to go with it.
I like the effects, they are genuine, as if they were stomp boxes, except digital. It's not a big pedal, so it doesn't take up that much space on stage or in my room. The colors of the pedal are cool; they sparkle and stuff. Other than all that, that's about it.
There's about as much bad stuff about this pedal as there is good stuff. The pickup/wah simulator absolutely sucks. SUCKS! don't use this--ever. It's a fake disguise thingy that makes single coils sound like humbuckers--totally cheap. the compressor is bad to on this, so use a seperate stomp box compressor. the preamp settings are all unreal too. They too "disguise" but instead of the guitar, the amp! Supposedly, your amp can sound like a fender, Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Vox, and others, and of course, it doesn't work.
Construction is good. Strong metal case. Quality of the overall pedal is good, but the power input for the 9V ac adaptor is very delicate, and the one on mine doesn't work anymore. Whoever wrote the other review on this product has the same problem.
I guess this pedal is ok, but in some ways just....cheesy. I can't think of any other words. It's kind of like the Danelectro shift daddy. Although, Digitech and Danelectro are EXCELLENT brands. EXCELLENT. It's their pedals (not all, just some) that are cheesy. Although, this pedal is great for EFFECTS. It's like any other. It's great. Just make sure that you don't use the "disguise" settings.
