Section 1 - Startup
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 press-
ing 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, the <UP> and
<DOWN> footswitches allow you to move through Programs, while
the four main switches, labeled 1 - 4, act as toggle On/Off switch-
es for Distortion, Modulation, Delay, and Reverb. In Bank mode,
the <UP> and <DOWN> 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 indica-
tor 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 clip-
ping 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 <STORE> is pressed once, the first seven seg-
ment 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 <STORE> key again (see page 11, under
Edit Mode for further information on storing a Program).
