Section -3 Basic Operations

BYPASS MODE

Allows you to bypass the RP-3's Effects. Enter this mode by pressing footswitches <1 & 2> simultaneously and BY 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-3 will default
to the last mode you were in.

TUNER MODE

Allows you to tune your guitar. Enter Tuner mode by pressing and holding footswitches <1 & 2> simultaneously. Now tu 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 vertical effects matrix LEDs (tuning bar) will light. Once
the green LED on the tuning bar is lit, the note is in tune. If the note is not in tune, 1 or 2 of the LEDs above or below the green IN TUNE LED
will be lit. If LED's below are lit, the note is flat and should be tuned up. If the LEDs above are lit, the note is sharp and should tuned down.
You can change your tuning preference by using the Value <UP> and <DOWN> buttons while in Tuner mode. The default factory setting is:
40 A=440 Hz. The tuning reference control ranges from 27 (427) Hz to 53 (453) Hz, which is the equivalent of ± 50 cents (1/2 semitone)
in either direction form 440 Hz.
When you scroll down from 27 (427) Hz, you will also find alternate dropped tunings. Alternate tunings are A = Ab
= Gb (gb). The display window will briefly flash the currently selected tuning preference.
Exit this mode by pressing any one of the footswitches. When you exit this mode, the RP-3 will default to the last mode you used.
