Summer 2003

Plugging a guitar straight into an amp delivers great tone, but adding

effects devices can severely degrade it. Enter Rivera's Routmeister, which

manages up to 12 effects between a guitar and one or two amps while

maintaining great tone and punch. The Routmeister works with mono and

stereo processors, and controls (and can be controlled by) MIDI gear.

Programs for switching effects in and out and generating up to 16 MIDI

commands at once are arranged in nine memory banks. Six program-select

buttons and two bank selectors, allow fast access to a total of 54 combina-

tion programs. The entire set of programs can be loaded from or saved to a

computer using MIDI System Exclusive messaging, and Windows-based

editor software is included.

Housed in a durable steel enclosure, the Routmeister has heavy-duty

footswitches and uses a ±15 volt power supply to ensure a wide dynamic

range. Its switchable input buffer deals with impedance loading from a gui-

tar, and automatic ground-shorting in unused effects loops ensures noise-

less operation. Dual premium-quality isolation transformers at the outputs

assure that the signal reaching the amp will be clean, punchy, and at a good

level.

Highlights include:

• Two selectable inputs with bypassable input buffer.

• Tuner jack.

• Simultaneous control of routing for four mono and four stereo effects and

two amps, or eight effects and one amp.

• Eight effects loops in Chain 1, four effects loops in chain 2

• Up to six Routmeisters can be connected together, for a total of 36 buttons

and 72 programs.

• Sends MIDI program-change commands to any MIDI device.

• Acts as either MIDI master or MIDI slave.
