A Guided Example
Suppose you wanted to create your own dual channel Preset which gave your single coil pickup a humbucker sound,
used no Compression, had Wah before the Amp Modeling, the ripping distortion of a Rectified Amp with boosted bass
on the red channel, the warm sounds of a vintage Tweed in the Green Channel, a Noise Gate that opens quickly, a clas-
sic Phaser sound, no Delay, and a little bit of a Hall reverb.The following steps will guide you through the procedure for
creating just such a Preset in the RP2000.
Choose a Preset
The first step in creating a Preset is selecting a Preset to be your starting point.You can start with any Preset that you
want, but for this example let's start with User Preset 63. From the Preset mode, use the Data Wheel to select Preset
63.
Enter the Edit Mode
The next step to creating our example Preset is to enter the Edit mode.To do this, press the Edit/Exit button once so
that the LED in the Edit/Exit switch is on. At this point the Matrix LED in the Pickup Simulator Column and the top
vertical LED should light.These two LEDs indicate that you are on the Pickup Simulator's On/Bypass Parameter. The
Green Display will now show the status of the Pickup Simulator as either on, or bypass.
Select the Pickup Simulator Type
In our example Preset we were assuming that we were using a single coil pickup, but wanted it to sound like a double
coil humbucker. If the Pickup simulator shows the status as bypass, rotate the Data Wheel until the Display shows
on.Then press the Pickup Simulator button once to access the Type Parameter.The Display will now show the current
selection for the Pickup Simulator. Since we want a single coil to sound like a humbucker, rotate the Data Wheel until
the Display reads sc>hb.

Turn the Compressor Off

Next in our Preset, we didn't want to use compression so we need to turn the compressor off. Press the Compressor
button on the Matrix so that the Compressor LED lights.The Display will show the current status of the Compressor.
Rotate the Data Wheel until the Display shows bypass.The Compressor will then be disengaged.
Select a Classic Wah
Our example called for the Expression Pedal to act as a classic Wah. Press the Wah/Pitch button once to access the
Wah/Pitch On/Bypass Parameter, and if the Display shows On, rotate the Data Wheel to select Bypass.Then Press the
Wah/Pitch button again to access the Type Parameter in this module. Rotate the Data Wheel until crywah is in the
Display.
The reason we selected bypass for the Wah is because the V-Switch will be used to enable the Wah. In our example,
we won't have the Wah active all of the time. However, when we need it, we can activate it by pressing down on the
toe of the Expression Pedal.
