Agreed 100% - it's hard to dial in those Buckethead clean tones perfectly with only 1 mod effect.
That's my only gripe with it too though.

Yup. However I have a full pedal board from my tube amp rig. I put that out in front and I can add what I want.
The Blackface cleans are very nice, but I am also really liking the Twin Reverb model A LOT.

yeah I had pretty much settled on my clean tones until we played together and it just didnt quite gel as well as the rythms, so a bit of tweaking and experimenting is in order. Pedal board wise Im wanting to keep a minimum of about 3 pedals running all in the rack and all in the GCX loops. The one effect I was dead set on keeping as a pedal was my mxr phase 90, i love that pedal and the digitech phasers just arent quite as cool!! the delays are great in the gsp but my mxr carbon copy is absolutely gorgeous sounding, especially on cleans. What ill probably end up doing is using the CC on my cleans and the digitechs on leads so i get teh tailing off thing.
Ive got as close to a pedal board as possible with the ground control, as ive got it set up in the 4 presets / 8 instant access method. The top 4 buttons bring the pedals in or out stomp box style and the bottom 4 control CC changes so i can control the drive, delay and mods of the digitech in a similar stomp form.
complete ballache working it all out but its been worth it!

What makes this better than an RP1000?

Dual processors for effect trail off on patch change, a better feature or 2 on the firmware.
Not having to run 4 30ft cables from the front of the stage to your head/power amp + stereo outs.

Would it be wise to buy this simply for the distortion? I dont need any of the effects or an interface. I was looking at engl e 530s when I noticed this.

If you want distortion from whole amp models, yes. Just for the distortion effects? ...maybe not.

Yeah well I bought a dual rec so I am spent!
I wouldn't get it as a boost or OD going to a clean channel but if you want it for full metal amp tones minus effects than yes, it's probably worth it. I've started using mine as a preamp playing with my band and my main distortion tones are just amp models from the GSP into a poweramp.

When I got my GSP and had my Dual Rec I made a patch that was pretty damn close to the Rec. If you played them on its own you would hear a small difference but in the band there was no way you could tell.
That was also the reason I sold it.

What is everyone's favorite boost in the Dist. block? I mostly use the Pre EQ but seems to me the DoD 250 is easiest to dial in, and the regular screamer is my go to so far as well. Anybody try running one of the pedals into a lower gain amp for something really unique?

I'm really digging the MX distortion (MXR that would be) with a Mark IV and cutting down some of the High End with the EQ. Sounds AWESOME to me. I have no idea what it could be comparable to, but I find it quite pleasant. It's crunchy, but high grain, and that's where I'm headed. I'm trying to nail that "Rite of Passage" Petrucci tone, you know, when you hear the guitar coming in in the intro, it's just MASSIVE crunch. I'll report the settings as soon as I nail that.
All this talk about awesome patches with no downloadable links is useless 
I need a good Mark iV patch but everything I've done makes it sounds weak, thin and crappy. My high gain patch is based off the 5150.

Have you tried using the para-EQ to simulate the graphic EQ on the real amp? Boost a little @ 80hz, cut a little @ 750, play around with the highs.
Set the amp EQ with very little bass, and a good amount of mids and highs.

New firmware is live. I'm updating now so I obviously haven't tried it out yet. 10 user spots for impulses as cab sims

Nice. Hope this filters down to the RP1K/500.
