Is the pedal connected correctly?
• Connect the pedal securely to the
PEDAL jack (p. 12).
Are you using a pedal made by another
manufacturer?
• Use the pedal included with the RD-
300SX or an optional DP Series or
similar pedal.
Pedal Has No Effect,
Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit
or Effect "Sticks"
while the power is on may cause the
pedal's effect to be applied nonstop.
Be sure to switch off the power to the unit
before attempting to disconnect or
connect a pedal cord (p. 12).
When Setup Pedal Shift is set to ON and
the pedal is being used as a dedicated
Setup switch (p. 39), the control pedal
function cannot be used (p. 40).
