Model Definitions

Each Amp and Effect model within the RP150 can be programmed to suit your personal taste
and application. Understanding how these components alter the sound, and how each parameter
alters the effect, will help you achieve the sound you are looking for. The following overview of the
RP150's effects outlines what each effect and parameter does.

Pickup

The Pickup Simulator provides the thick tone of a humbucker pickup to a guitar with single coil
pickups, or the bright, edgy sound of a single coil pickup to a guitar with a humbucker. This gives
you the best of both worlds without having to change guitars during a performance.
Pickup Model - Knob 1 selects the Pickup model to be simulated. Values include: sh
(gives a single coil pickup the warm tone of a humbucker), and hs (gives a humbucker the
unique sound of a single coil). Press this knob to turn Pickup modeling on and off.
Preset Level - Knob 4 adjusts the volume level for each preset individually.

Wah

Wah is an effect controlled by an Expression Pedal making the guitar sound as if it's saying "Wah."
Wah Model - Knob 1 selects the Wah model. Values include: FR (DigiTech
Wah sweeps the entire spectrum of audible frequencies), Cb (Cry Wah is a traditional
sounding Wah), and mc (based on a Vox
models on and off.
