gotyeah « Good mutli-effects, very complete! »
Published on 03/16/12 at 11:00Digitech is passed to higher model, but the CPU and treatment remain the same, and the format of the pedal.
For the types of effects available (complete list on the site builder) we have:
-A compressor, a microwave simulator (single to double or vice versa)
Wha-a (very correct)
Disto-modeling
D'ampli-
-Equalizer
-Noise gate (very handy for "breath" and parasites)
-Variety (chorus, delay, tremolo)
-Reverb.
To this was added a few drum machines (fairly basic, or even ugly) and a signal generator (sine, triangle or square) which can couple a parameter (volume, amplifier gain, chorus level ...) for sounds weird but potentially very attractive.
Each "floor" effect is fully adjustable (between 2 and 5 or 6 settings) which is an advantage of a view specs.
The technology is obviously digital, and connectivity is provided (TRS, XLR, USB, ...)
Frankly, I watched quite a competitor, and RP is the most complete multi in its range.
UTILIZATION
So to use, two options:
1. build his own sound from the "bricks" already pre registered in the multi (eg choosing a distortion overdrive, a fender amp, a bit of reverb for effect and here). It's simple, and the resulting sound and completely editable: ideal to approach what we want and then refine.
2. to fully exploit the RP, it is best to start with a blank database and add its modeling / effects one by one: it is long, laborious, it requires several weeks of experience (at least) but the output THE sound that you have running through your head ... except that sometimes one circles, and that the RP has its own limitations sound ...
In summary, the use is laborious if one wants to harness the power of the machine, but given all the settings arranged (many, which is an asset to a multi like this), the 350 did not fare badly
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality ... To be honest, I carry around the same amp for 5 years beginning (roland cube 15X) which I think does not do justice to the sound of RP. Let's say it is very decent but we keep this side slightly cold and "thick" of numerical modeling.
But for trying to headphones, the sound is really good. The models look perfect (the marshall is a marshall, the vox vox a) and far less artificial effects.
So lets say its chemical side comes from the amp, the notes on this part is to be taken lightly ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for almost 5 years (and I had time to go around). I have not tried other models, largely because this type of multi remains relatively rare.
The use for which I bought it was true: my amplifier coupled to the base to 100 €, Father gave me flexibility and versatility and saved me to reinvest in a separate amp ... for a while.
For me, it is ideal if you want: to offer a wide range of sounds real cheap, make it last a very average amp or even a year gain in versatility lives on.
For lovers of his who want something specific and characteristic, or for allergic settings, go your way.
