Hi everyone. New here. I just bought an RP70. Neat little tool for a great price. I've already gotten a ton of cool sounds from it, including almost turning my Les Paul into a twangin' clean Tele, but I am trying to find the right configuration to get pretty close to this \"surfer\" sound I posted in the link.

The user on the YouTube vid. says he uses a Fender Bassman, Roland Space Echo, and an Ibanez TS-9. I tried messing with the TS-9 simulator on my RP70, but it just seems to add \"mud\" more than anything else and I actually get closer with the amp/cab packages.

However, I can't quite find that Pulp Fiction sort of surfer bite.

Granted, I don't have a Gretcsh hollowbody; I have a Les Paul. But judging from the sound, I don't think it's as much the guitar as it is the effects. If anyone knows a certain \"formula\" on the RP-70 that would bring me pretty close to that clunky sort of slap the guy gets (esp. on the lows) I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks
Tom

You might want to try using a tweed amp model, and set the highs UP on the EQ of the preset. Use a delay time around 70-80ms and some reverb. Also, might want to use the HB>SC on the pickup/wah setting.

Thanks for the input. Funny, because I just found the sound the other night, and a lot of what you said here is what I did. Changed the HB-SC, a delay that was almost an instant \"tap-tap\", about 4 clicks on the twin reverb effect, and the '57 Tweed Deluxe mock with gain up a few notches. Took the mids and highs up on the eq, used the bridge pickup, and added just one notch of tremolo for a pinch of that \"in-out\" effect. Came out very close.

These are great, versatile pedals for a good price. Can't wait to check out some of the 1/2/350's in the future.
