General Comments
I play Rock, Ambient and noise, the RP-1 is good for what it does, and for how old it is, it does everything very well. I have been playing for only 2 years. My signal chain is a Fender Squire Bullet or a Fender Squire Double Fat Strat>RP-1 into an Indyguitarst Epidemic Feedback Looper/Bypass Loop>EH Little Big Muff Reissue>Custom Boost>Digitech Whammy 4>Boss PH2 Super Phaser>Boss PH3 Phase Shifter>EH Electric Mistress>EH Deluxe Memory Man Analog Delay into a Loop Master Stereo Double Loop True Bypass Box to 2 Epiphone Valve Jr. Heads, 1 Hartke 4x12 60 Watt Guitar Cabinet with Celestions and a Behringer 100 Watt 4x12 Cab with Jensens. The amps are set to 10:30 The sounds I get from this rig are perfect from my style.
If it were stolen I'd find the guy that stole it and beat him with a large blunt object. If I'd lose it, eh... I dunno if I could find another at such a good price ever again.
I love the fact that you can turn the effects on and off indevidually, if I had a MIDI rig with it, I could use that as well.
I don't like how noisy it can get, but the built in noise gate cures that with the sacrifice of sustain.
I wish it had an expression pedal for contolling the modulations, a good univibe model in it, a wah and maybe a whammy that sounds as good as the original.
It inspires me to make more musical madness.
I like it and it is one of the best old multi FX out there that actually sound great.
