DigiTech Announces RP-14 Floor Guitar Processor
May 16, 1999
DigiTech’s new RP-14, which expands on
the design of the popular RP-7
Valve, is the latest addition to the company’s RP Series of floor-based
guitar preamp and multi-effects processors.
Thanks to a real 12AX7 tube, the RP-14 is able to accurately simulate eight
of the world’s most popular guitar amplifier sounds, including British Stack,
Rectified, Boutique, Twin, Class A Clean, Fuzz, High Gain and Acoustic Simulation.
Three bands of EQ provide complete tonal flexibility before the signal is delivered
to the digital processing section. Furthermore, EQ points for each amp simulation
are set up to accurately match those of their respective models for the most realistic
emulation at every setting.
The integrity of the analog preamp is retained thanks to the ultra-quiet 24-bit
A/D and D/A converters. DigiTech’s award-winning digital S-DISC II™
processor includes every effect than any guitarist could ask for, and is complemented
by a 44.1 kHz sampling rate. In addition to traditional 1/4-inch outputs, the
RP-14 offers a S/PDIF digital output for use with hard disk recording workstations
and other digital setups.
The RP-14’s simple user interface makes programming a snap, and selecting
programs or bypassing individual effects on the fly is accomplished via the processor’s
12 footswitches. An expression pedal is capable of controlling any one of the
nine available parameter links, and the pre-distortion analog wah may be engaged
to override any of these links at any time through a switch under the toe of the
pedal.
Additional important features include intelligent pitch shifting, a chromatic
tuner, DigiTech’s Learn-a-Lick phrase recorder and Jam-Along Jack for patching
in a CD or cassette player, and 50 user/50 factory presets.
The suggested U.S. retail price on the DigiTech RP-14 is $549.95.
