Warranty RP-6 Owner’s Manual SECTION 1 - STARTUP SUPPLYING POWER 5 Line Conditioning - The RP-6, like any piece of computer hardware, is sensitive to voltage drops, spikes, and surges. Interference such as lightning or power “brownouts” can seriously, and in extreme cases, permanently damage the circuitry inside the unit. Here are some ways to avoid this type of damage: • Spike/Surge Suppressors - This is an inexpensive solution to all but the most severe of AC line conditions. Surge protected power strips usually cost only slightly more than unprotected strips, making them a worthy investment for protection of all your valuable gear. • AC Line Conditioners - This is the best way to go for total protection from improper line voltages, albeit the more expensive way. Line conditioners constantly monitor for excessively high or low voltages and adjust accordingly, thus delivering consistent power levels. FRONT PANEL CONTROLS The front panel controls and functions of the RP-6 are as follows (refer to diagram): Section 1 - Startup 6 RP-6 Owner’s Manual 1) Pedalboard - The RP-6’s pedalboard consists of six footswitches. The two Mode footswitches to the right of the Parameter Matrix allow you to change from Program mode to Bank mode by pressing the UP & DOWN footswitches simultaneously. When changing modes, the appropriate LED will light to indicate whether you are in Program mode or Bank Mode. In Program Mode, theand footswitches allow you to move through Programs, while the four main switches, labeled 1 - 4, act as toggle On/Off switches for Distortion, Modulation, Delay, and Reverb. In Bank mode, the and footswitches allow you to move through Banks, while the 1-4 footswitches are used to select Programs. If footswitches 1 and 2 are pressed simultaneously, Tuner Mode will be activated. If footswitches 3 and 4 are pressed simultaneously, Bypass Mode will be activated. 2) Parameter Matrix - The Parameter Matrix consists of a group of horizontal Effect LEDs and a second group of vertical Parameter LEDs. The Effect LEDs are: Compressor, Distortion, Silencer, Equalization, Speaker Cab, Wah Wah, Mod/Pitch, Dual Delay, and Reverb. This matrix shows you exactly what Effects and Parameters are in use. 3) Display Window - The display window shows all current operating and programming information and is comprised of two parts: the seven segment LED displays and the Signal, Clip, and Store indicator LEDs. The first numeric LED in the display window indicates whether you are in a User (U) or Factory Bank (F). The second indicates the Bank number currently in use, and the third indicates which Program number is currently in use. These numbers change as you scroll through the available Programs. The functions of the Signal, Clip, and Store indicator LEDs are as follows: • Signal - Indicates whether a signal is entering the RP-6. • Clip - Indicates analog clipping in the RP-6. Digital clipping can be detected when the third vertical LED from the top of the Parameter Matrix flashes. Distortion may be heard in the output signal if either analog or digital clipping occurs. If analog clipping occurs, check the Distortion On/Off levels. The levels may need to be lowered to eliminate the problem. To reduce digital clipping, the Master Volume and/or Effects levels should be checked and adjusted accordingly. As always, let your ears be the judge. • Store - Lights when a Parameter has been changed in a Program. When is pressed once, the first seven segment LED in the Display window will flash. Once you have selected the Bank and Program location where you want to store your effects, press the key again (see page 11, under Edit Mode for further information on storing a Program). Section 1 - Startup RP-6 Owner’s Manual 7 4) Value, Store and Edit Keys - The Value and keys allow you to scroll through the RP-6’s Programs, or change Parameter values in Edit mode. The key allows you to store an edited Program in memory for later use. The key allows you to edit the User and Factory Programs. 5) Parameter Select Keys -The and Parameter keys allow you to navigate the horizontal Effect LEDs of the Parameter matrix. The and Parameter keys allow you to navigate the vertical Parameter LEDs of the Parameter matrix. These keys are only active in Edit mode. 6) Output Level - Controls the overall output level of the RP-6. Also controls the overall level of the headphones. 7) Presence - Enhances the high frequency content of the overall sound. This will affect all presets. 8) Continuous Control Pedal - This volume-type pedal allows realtime control over Parameters in the RP-6. REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS The RP-6 rear panel connectors and functions are as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 INPUT HEADPHONES LEFT/MONO OUTPUT RIGHT OUTPUT POWER 9VAC 1.33A 1) Input - This is the RP-6’s audio input. Plug your guitar in here. 2) Headphone Output - 1/4” stereo plug for headphones. The headphone level is controlled by the main output level knob. 3) Left/Mono Main Output - This is the RP-6’s left main audio output. This output must be used if a mono effect is desired. 4) Right Main Output - This is the RP-6’s right main audio output. Use both left and right main outputs to take advantage of stereo effects. 5) AC Line Input - This is the AC adapter receptacle. Section 1 - Startup RP-6 Owner’s Manual 8 Basic Guitar Setup Section 1 - Startup RP-6 Owner’s Manual 9 Recording Setup (Use Cabinet Emulator) Section 1 - Startup 10 RP-6 Owner’s Manual SECTION 2 - BASIC OPERATIONS ABOUT THE RP-6 MODES The RP-6 offers five modes, allowing easy operation of the Effects and Parameters. The modes are as follows: PROGRAM MODE Allows you to scroll through the 40 Programs by using the and Value keys as well as the and footswitches. Enter Program mode by pressing the and footswitches simultaneously until the Program LED lights and a P appears briefly in the display window. Footswitches 1-4 act as on/off toggle switches for the specified effects. Exit Program mode by changing to another mode. BANK MODE Allows you to scroll quickly through Banks without going through every Program to get to the next Bank. Enter Bank mode by pressing the and footswitches simultaneously until the Bank LED lights and a B appears briefly in the display window. When you enter Bank mode, the Bank and Program numbers from the previous mode will be retained. When a Program number is displayed in the third LED of the display window, you can use the Value and keys to scroll through Programs and Banks. This works exactly like Program mode. When the and footswitches are used in Bank mode, you will scroll through Banks only. When you change a Bank using this method, the previous Program number is not displayed with the new Bank. The LEDs above footswitches 1-4 will begin flashing, indicating that you can choose a Program in the selected Bank by pressing one of the four footswitches. Once a Program number has been selected, both the Bank and Program numbers will be displayed. Exit Bank mode by changing to another mode. EDIT MODE Allows you to change Effects and Parameters in a Program. Enter Edit mode by pressing the key. The Display window now shows the value of the Parameter indicated by the LEDs in the Matrix. You can scroll through the Parameter matrix using the Parameter Select keys. The and keys allow you to scroll through the vertical Parameter LEDs, while the and keys allow you to scroll through the horizontal Effect LEDs. After selecting a Parameter, you can scroll through its values with the and Data keys. When moving through Parameter values, the decimal point next to the Parameter value will flash when a stored value has been changed. If you return to the original value, the decimal point will stop flashing. If you exit Edit mode after changing the Parameters and then return to Edit mode, the last viewed Parameter will be displayed. Section 2 - Basic Operations RP-6 Owner’s Manual 11 STORE MODE Once you have modified the Parameters and Effects, you can store them to a user Program location. When you change an Effect or Parameter in a Program, the Store LED will light, indicating that you have changed a Parameter and need to store the changes. Press the key once and the first seven segment LED in the Display window will flash U. Select the Program and Bank you want to store your changes to, and press the key again to save the changes. Exit this mode by pressing any footswitch or Value key. BYPASS MODE Allows you to bypass the RP-6’s Effects. Enter this mode by pressing footswitches 3 & 4 simultaneously. BYP will appear in the display window to indicate you are in Bypass mode. Exit this mode by pressing any of the footswitches. When you exit this mode, the RP-6 will default to the last mode you used. Bypass is not available while in Edit mode.w TUNER MODE Allows you to tune your guitar. Enter Tuner mode by pressing footswitches 1 & 2 simultaneously. tun will appear briefly in the display window followed by --- to indicate that you are in Tuner mode. To begin tuning play a note on your guitar (a harmonic at the 12th fret will work best). The display window will show the note being played and the horizontal Parameter Matrix LEDs just under the tuning bar will light. Once the LED directly under the IN TUNE of the tuning bar is lit, the note will be in tune. If the note is not in tune, 1 or 2 of the LEDs left or right of the IN TUNE LED will be lit. If they are to the left, the note is flat and should be tuned up. If the LEDs are to the right, the note is sharp and should tuned down. You can change your tuning preference by using the value and keys. The default factory setting is : A=440 Hz. The tuning reference control ranges from 427 Hz to 453 Hz, which is the equivalent of ± 50 cents (1/2 semitone) in either direction form 440 Hz. When you scroll down from 427 Hz, you will also find alternate dropped tunings. Alternate tunings are A = Ab (415), A = G (392), and A = Gb (370). The display window will briefly flash the currently selected tuning preference. Exit this mode by pressing any of the footswitches. When you exit this mode, the RP-6 will default to the last mode you used. Tuner is disabled in Edit mode. Section 2 - Basic Operations 12 RP-5 Owner’s Manual SECTION 3 - EFFECTS AND PARAMETERS ABOUT THE PARAMETER MATRIX The Parameter Matrix displays all the Effects and Parameters you can find in the RP-6.

Section 3 - Effects and Parameters 20 RP-6 Owner’s Manual trE (Tremolo) Values 1,2,&3 Displayed Values Speed 0...100 Depth 0...100 Not Available Tremolo was one of the first real effects, and appeared mostly on early guitar amplifiers. Because of this, tremolo is sometimes perceived as sounding “old” or “vintage”. The RP-6, breathes new life into this classic effect, providing totally transparent volume modulation of sound sources. Speed............................Controls the tremolo speed (speed of modulation). Ranges from 0 to 100. Depth.............................Adjusts the intensity of the tremolo effect. Ranges from 0 to 100. PAN (Auto Panning) Values 1,2,&3 Displayed Values Speed 0...100 Depth 0...100 Not Available An auto panner is a modern relative of the tremolo that modulates the sound from left to right at a given rate. Parameters are as follows: Speed............................Controls the panning speed (speed of modulation). Ranges from 0 to 100 Depth.............................Adjusts the intensity of the panning effect. Ranges from 0 to 100. Section 3 - Programming RP-6 Owner’s Manual 21 PCH (Pitch Shifting) Values 1,2,&3 Displayed Values Speed -24...0...24 Depth -99...0...99 Not Available This RP-6’s Pitch Shifting effect gives you a shifted signal from 0 to 24 semi-tones above or below the pitch of the input signal. Shift............................Sets the interval between the original note and the pitch shifted note. Variable from -24 to 24 Detune.......................Determines the amount of detuning applied to the shifted note. Variable from -99 to 99. bnd (Pitch Bending/Whammy) Values 1,2,&3 Displayed Values Type 1 ... 16 Position 0 ... 100 Not Available The RP-6’s pitch bending effect allows you to smoothly shift between two preset pitch intervals using the CC Pedal. Type...........................Selects the function of the Whammy™ Module. There are 16 functions available in regular Whammy Modules. They are as follows: 1= Shallow Detune 2=Deep Detune 3=1 Octave Up 4=Up 2 Octaves 5=Down 2nd 6=Down 1 Octave 7=Down 2 Octaves 8=Down 6 Octaves 9=Major 2nd Up to Major 3rd Up 10=Minor 3rd Up to Major 3rd Up 11=Major 3rd Up to 4th Up 12=4th Up to 5th Up 13=5th Up to 6th Up 14=5th Up to Major 7th Up 15=4th Down to Minor 3rd Down 16=5th Down to 4th Down Position.........................The POSITION Parameter reflects the current setting of the Whammy™ effect. This Parameter should be linked to the RP-6’s CC pedal. As Position is modified, the pitch of the original note will change in intervals according to the setting of the WHAMMY TYPE. Ranges from 0 to 100. Section 3 - Programming 22 RP-6 Owner’s Manual Dual Delay Parameters Displayed Values On/Off OFF-ON Type 1...7 Level (Mix) 0...100 Delay 1 0...800 Delay 2 0...800 Feedback 0...99 Delay times 1 & 2 can be programmed independently. However, On/Off, Type, Level, and Feedback will program the same for BOTH Delays 1 & 2. For example, if you choose to program your Level to 50, both Delays 1 & 2 will be 50. Delay Parameters are as follows: On / Off..........................Turns the Effect on and off. Type ..............................Determines the type of delay. Type 1 is a mono delay, Types 2 through 4 are two tap mono delays, and Types 5 through 7 are two tap stereo delays (see chart below for further information). Type: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Left Output: Delay 1 Delays 1 & 2 Delays 1 & 2 Delays 1 & 2 Delay 1 Delay 1 Delay 1 Right Output: Delay 1 Delays 1 & 2 Delays 1 & 2 Delays 1 & 2 Delay 2 Delay 2 Delay 2 Feedback Source: Delay 1 Delay 1 Delay 2 Delays 1 & 2 Delay 1 Delay 2 Delays 1 & 2 Level..............................Controls the level of the delay in both Delay1 and Delay 2. Ranges from 0 to 100. Delays 1 & 2..................The available delay time ranges are 0 (no delay) to 800 milliseconds. Feedback ......................The amount of time it takes for the Reverb to fade to inaudibility. Ranges from 0 to 99. Section 3 - Programming RP-6 Owner’s Manual 23 Reverb Parameters Displayed Values On/Off OFF-ON Type CLU...SPr Level 0...100 EQ Freq (kHz) º02-1§0 EQ Gain -15...0...15 Decay Time 1...10 Ambience, or reverberation, is produced when sound energy is reflected off room surfaces and objects. Using reverberation in recorded program material gives the listener a sense that the material is being performed in an actual room or hall. It is this similarity to actual acoustic spaces that makes reverberation a useful tool in recorded music. Reverb Parameters and their functions are as follows: On / Off..........................Turns the Module on or off. Type ..............................Allows you to choose your ambience or setting you want to use. There are ten available type settings: SPr=Spring StU=Studio pLa=Plate Gar=Garage sOU=Sound Stage HAL=Hall bAt=Bathroom CHU=Church CLU=Club ArE=Arena Level..............................Controls the amount of reverb signal to be mixed in with the dry signal. Ranges from 0 to 100. EQ Frequency ...............Adjusts the center frequency of the Reverb EQ. Varies from .02 to 16 kHz. EQ Gain.........................Allows you to increase and decrease the level of the EQ frequency. Varies from -15 to 15 dB. Decay Time ...................The amount of time it takes for the Reverb to fade to inaudibility. Ranges from 1 to 10.
