DigiTech RP-12

July 12, 1996 -- The new RP12 is DigiTech's most comprehensive and powerful RP Series floor-controlled guitar preamp/processor to date.

The RP12's flexible front-end offers an analog preamp section, including a compressor and three individual distortions. Its four-band, fully-parametric EQ and ten Cabinet Emulator selections provide a broad range of tones typically achieved only from a stand alone preamp. With digital effects driven by the second generation of DigiTech's award-winning S-DISC(R) 24-bit VLSI processor, the RP12 provides a palette of sounds wide enough to please guitarists of every style.

Featuring 128 factory presets and 128 user-definable program locations, the RP12 can produce up to nine full-bandwidth effects at once from a list including: Compressor, Heavy Sustain, Overdrive and Grunge(TM) Distortions, Slap-Back-Stereo Ping-Pong, 2 Tap Delay, 4 Tap Delay, Delay Modulation, Multi-Effect Reverb, Bigverb, Gated and Reverse Reverb, Chorus, Flange, Comb Filter, Noise Gate, Silencer-, Stereo Imaging, Digital Mixing, Auto Panner, Tremolo, Pitch Shifter, Phaser, Whammy(TM), Wah and Auto Wah.

The RP12 also incorporates three new effects, Intelligent Pitch Shifting, Smooth Pitch Shift and Smooth Whammy, putting its total effect list in excess of 30.

Offering full MIDI implementation, the RP12 features a fully programmable Expression Pedal for real-time control over up to ten effect parameters (i.e.--volume, pan, wah, etc.). An improved onboard chromatic tuner additionally eliminates the need for an extra tuning device. A 16x2 Super Twist LCD display showing program names and parameters allows easy viewing from all angles while an LED display and indicators provide clear information in low-light situations. A headphone jack on the rear panel also enables guitarists to "jam away" without disturbing the neighbors.

Suggested U.S. list price on the DigiTech RP12 is $599.95.
