DigiTech® Filter Flanger
The DigiTech tone team expanded on the traditional flanger by adding a band pass filter in the
feedback path of the effect. Because of the filter, the filter flanger’s feedback affects only a set
amount of frequencies to generate a different flanger effect.
DigiTech Triggered Flanger
By setting the threshold sensitivity, you control when the Flanger starts sweeping, and by setting
the LFO Start knob, you control WHERE in the sweep it starts! Next you can adjust the speed
that it sweeps and the overall level of the Flanger effect!
Electro Harmonix® Electric Mistress
This Flanger has a unique tone giving it a sort of Chorus/Flanger mixed tone making it not as dry
as some of the other Flangers (but with a more pronounced sweep). Its easy to use with only 3
knobs (Color, Range, and Rate) which also makes it a little easier to dial in your tone quicker.
MXR® Flanger
A big rich and organic Flanger tone made popular by such people as Eddie Van Halen. The MXR®
flanger creates a variety of wild sounds from dynamic jet plane or cool space effects to short
delay, chorus and vibrato. Back off Width to zero to disengage auto-sweep, then use the Manual
knob to physically place the effect anywhere along the frequency spectrum. Manual knob selects
frequency center of effect when auto-sweep is disengaged Width knob at zero disengages auto-
sweep, rotates clockwise to increase total phase sweep of effect Speed knob modulates rate of
effect Regen knob feeds effect back onto itself at adjustable intensity, increasing the total phase
effect.
Phasers
A phaser splits the incoming signal, and then changes the phasing of the signal. This signal is then
taken in and out of phase and mixed back in with the original signal. As the phasing changes, dif-
ferent frequencies get canceled resulting in a warm sort of twisting sound. The RP1000 includes
the following Phaser types: DigiTech Phaser, DigiTech Triggered Phaser, Electro-Harmonix® Small
Stone, and the MXR® Phase 100.
DigiTech Phaser
This Phaser will give you the standard Phaser tone and options for controlling it via the Speed,
Depth, Regeneration, and Level settings.
DigiTech Triggered Phaser
Like the Triggered Chorus, You can set the threshold of the sensitivity knob to state what volume
you would like the Phaser triggered. Then using the LFO Start knob, you can set where in the
range of the Phaser you would like it to start from.
Electro-Harmonix® Small Stone
The Small Stone’s full-bodied, 3-dimensional phasing adds a special swirl to every musical style.
Blues players dig its rapidly rotating speaker effect while Country players use it to add season-
ing to their chicken’ pickin’. Metal-heads and Industrialists dig the Stone’s jet plane woosh. Its
simplistic 2 knob control panel (Rate and Color) make it easier to dial in a quick Phaser tone
that will be just right for you!
MXR® Phase 100
Another industry standard in Phase pedals with its own unique tones. It as well has a simplistic 2
knob control panel (Intensity and Speed). Along with the speed control that controls the speed
of the Phase sweep, there is the Intensity knob that selects four different intensities, defined as
preset waveform patterns. Between the intensity and speed settings, you’ll find quite a supply of
excellent sounds!
Pitch
The RP1000 comes equipped with effects to manipulate your pitch and do incredible things
with it like harmonize both intelligently and by using standard semitones, detune, and do cool
effects by raising and/or lowering your original notes from 2 octaves down to 2 octaves up! Pitch
pedals it is equipped with are: Boss® OC-2 Octaver, DigiTech Detune, DigiTech Harmony Pitch,
DigiTech Pitch Shift, and the ever popular DigiTech Whammy Pedal!!
