Thanks bro!! Noted ito!! Mukhang go ako sa patch mode. Wala bang "sinok" ang RP1000 paglumilipat ka ng patches?
Yeah, merong "sinok". It's no more than a few milliseconds but it's enough to mess up with my rhythm so I ended up using the pedal board mode. The trade off was I can no longer get the same sweet OD + amp gain sounds that I was getting using patch mode.
Combining the RP500/1000's pedal and amp distortions in pedal board mode kills the possibility of switching to clean sounds. Even if I turn the pedal distortion off, I'm still left with the one coming from the amp/cab model.
I tried running the pedal distortions through clean amp/cab models but I couldn't get any usable sounds so I ended up getting a separate distortion pedal (a Shredhead).
Now, I'm running the Shreadhead through the RP500's Roland JC-120 amp and Fane 4 x 12 cab models and it sounds divine; turning the dirt off gives me nice warm clean tones.
Of course, YMMV. But these are some things that you might want to explore and maybe build on later on.
