DigiTech has announced a free Version 2.0 software upgrade to the popular RP500 Multi-Effect Switching System.

“The free upgrade takes the RP500 to the next level by adding a 20-second looper. You can easily lay down a phrase, loop it, then change presets to a totally different sound and loop again. It’s a great way to create new songs or to perform by building the song right in front of the audience” says Jason Lamb, Marketing Manager for DigiTech.

The RP500 also features over 125 amps, cabinets, stompboxes and effects, including DigiTech’s  Whammy, unique Pedalboard Mode that offers switching system on/off control over stompboxes and effects, and USB audio streaming to your PC or Mac.

The free 2.0 upgrade will be available for download at digitech.com on December 2, 2009.
