Digitech Rp10



Up for grabs is a Digitech RP 10 made in USA. This is an effects processor, preamp, and foot controller / pedal board all in one. So many effects to list, distortion, chorus, pitch/tremolo/wah delay, reverb, etc. This 1996 unit was only very light used and works beautifully. Parches hechos por mi. First is the introduction of 3 new effects algorithms, giving the RP10 a total now of 36. These new algorithms include 3 new effects: Smooth Whammy, Smooth Pitch, and Harmony. Smooth Whammy is a new Whammy module with increased performance characteristics, creating a. The RP500 takes the complexity of an effect switching system and combines it with the simplicity of stompboxes. If you're a player who takes command of their tone by turning individual pedals on and off, enable the Pedalboard Mode button and instantly use the 5 footswitches to turn the RP500's stompboxes and effects on and off within a program.

Q: Which benefits do I get by installing the 2.40 (RP12 upgrade) firmware in my RP10?
A: By installing the 2.40 firmware you get the following benefits:

First is the introduction of 3 new effects algorithms, giving the RP10 a total now of 36. These new algorithms include 3 new effects: Smooth Whammy, Smooth Pitch, and Harmony. Smooth Whammy is a new Whammy module with increased performance characteristics, creating a much smoother Whammy effect. Smooth Pitch is a single voice diatonic pitch shifting module with significantly improved tracking. And last but not least, Harmony is a single voice Intelligent Pitch Shifting effect, giving RP10 owners true 2-voice harmonizing solo lines. With the addition of new effects, Version 2.40 also improves the existing Wah effect, giving it a more realistic sound and response.
Along with new effects and algorithms, Version 2.40 sports all new presets. These presets are taken directly from Digitech's RP12 effects processor. Version 2.40 presets span several different playing styles ranging from Alternative to Metal to Country to Jazz/Fusion We even included some new presets designed specifically for Bass guitars. These are logically laid out in the RP10's 25 banks, with 2 banks of 5 presets dedicated to each style. Speaking of banks, the user will now have the ability to custom name these banks, a definite. And with the addition of new presets, Version 2.40 increases the RP10's memory to 256 presets, 128 User/128 Factory. 2.40 Upgrade is a must for any RP10 owner.

The new features as summary:

Digitech
  • New Factory Presets
  • Increased Memory (128 User/128 Factory presets)
  • New effects including Harmonizer, Smooth Pitch Shift, and Smooth Whammy
  • Improved Wah Wah
  • Improved Tuner
  • 3 New Effect Algorithms (36 total)
  • Custom Bank names

Q: Will I lose my presets after installing the Legend 2.40 firmware in my RP10?
A: Yes, because after installing you have to execute a hard reset.
If you want to keep them, consider a bulk MIDI dump or individual program dump. (I don't know, though, if patches written on lower firmware versions will seamlessly load back into a RP10 with the latest firmware 2.40). So best is to write down your most important settings on paper.

RP10 TROUBLESHOOTING:
Q: How do I recognize that the internal battery gets weak?
A: Best would be to measure the voltage with a voltmeter. If you don't have one:
- The unit doesn't hold the presets while switched off.
- The display might show garbled characters
I recommend replacing the battery every 3 years.

Q: How do I measure the voltage of the internal lithium battery?
A: Execute these steps:
- Pull the power cable!
- open the unit and locate the RAM-chip marked with U43
- Measure the DC voltage with a voltmeter at PIN16 (-) and PIN32 (+)
- The voltage should be 2.7VDC or higher. If it is lower, replace the battery.
- close the unit

Q: After replacing the lithium battery of my RP10 I get confuse characters on the display. What can I do?
A: Execute a hard reset
Q: How do I execute a hard reset at my RP10?
A: If you execute a hard reset you will lose your presets! Execute these steps:
- Connect the power supply to the mains power but leave the plug disconnected from the RP10
- Now connect the power plug at the RP10 WHILE pressing down the “Name” button
- An asterisk will appear next to “Digitech”
- Release the “Name” button
- Press (and release) the “Program up (▲)” button
- The display shows “Resetting Please wait...”
