DigiTech RP200A

I bought this a a music store in Boston, Mass used for $100 in excellent condition. I bought as an upgrade to my original unit the RP50 which i grew out of. Also i bought it because i wanted something really simple i didnt want to have to carry around all these effects pedals, this fits easily in a backpack or some other type of small bag.

I like that it has the built in expression pedal because my old RP50 didnt have one. Ive always liked Mike Einzigers volume swells so I wanted to use it for that and the wah. Im a big fan of the wah pedal so i was happy it came built in and i was able to easily get my own wah programmed in. Also theres many different ways you can make each effect different. Theres so many choices I find that flange, chorus, delay, reverb, phaser, and wammy are they coolest effects (in my opinion) on here and i use them all the time. you can get any sound out of this thing! the best part about this unit is how much money you save rather than buying several different pedals and cables. the amp modeling is great to because my distortion on my amp is so bad so i just put in a clean setting and play.

I dont like the fact that its so difficult for me to find the right EQ. you might not have this problem but i cant find a clear distortion sound. The wah on this unit is alright but i think ill save up and get a seperate wah pedal.

This thing is unbreakable to me because im aways dropping capos and slide on the screan and theres no marks sometimes i drop it not a dent or anything...well built and long lasting.

Besides the dislikes i mentioned everything is great i love it and ill probably have it for a long time. i suggest you go out and buy one youll like it too. Oh and and please DO NOT pass up this item just because i cant get a really clear sound but i got really close im just stupid and i still have to get used to it. trust me you want this pedal!

I got this unit for christmas. It's $150.00 in musiciansfriend

Everything is great. I couldnt get over on how great all the effects sounded and there is so many ways to change them and manipulate them. The drum machine is awesome. I read some other reviews befor i got the item and people said the Wah setting on the expresion pedal isnt all that great. I think they just couldnt figure out how to use it. What you do is you choose it in the expresion pedal then you go up to the top and use the second knob and choose what type of wah you want.

There is nothing that is wrong with this.

The quality is great the whole this is medal except for the blue pedals, people dont think they can withstand stomping but there made out of a very strong plastic.

this is the best

The Digitech RP200A is a multi-effects guitar processor. It is digitally based and has just about every typical guitar effect you can think of. You can mix and match the effects, use the presets, or create your own presets. It has 40 presets from the company and then has 40 more you can program yourself. It also has expression pedal that really comes in handy. It has 1/4 inch inputs and outputs for your instrument and it is not rackable as it is a foot pedal.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the pedal is pretty easy to follow. You can select between the effects and presets with the foot controllers and it has three knobs that control various parameters depending on the effect you are using. The manual seems pretty through, but I haven't used it too much as it is an easy pedal to learn.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects of this pedal are versatile and it is easy to get a wide array of effects. I love having all of these effects in one place, and it is real nice to be able to make my own presets to use. I have only used this pedal with guitar - usually a Gibson SG and a '76 Fender Twin Reverb amplifier. My favorite sounds on this are the delay and the compressor, although all of the effects are pretty usable. This being said, the effects aren't the best I've heard, or even close to it, but it is nice to have a variety of usable effects within one unit.

OVERALL OPINION

The Digitech RP200A was the first guitar effects processor I bought about five years ago. I have since upgraded to using a number of different pedals to achieve the sounds I got with this, but for the time I had this it worked quite well for me. The sounds are good and being able to make your own presets is a huge plus. The price is also a huge selling point, as this unit is really cheap, giving you a wide array of sounds for a cheap price. I would definitley recommend those interested in getting into using effects on their guitar to check out this unit.

There are a large number trs deffet possible distortion in the vibrato going to clean the fuzz of simulator dampli marshall etc ... we can say our own sound but just through the digi in it even
