The Bank and Control switches are located on the upper tear. In Preset mode, the Bank switch will advance Banks
with single presses or reverse Banks if held down. In FX mode, the Bank switch will advance Presets with single presses
or reverse Presets if held down.The Control switch is used to control a Parameter of your choice in real time, or to
change Banks. Pressing and holding the Bank and Control switches simultaneously will access Learn-A-Lick Mode.

The Expression Pedal

As you go through the different Presets in the RP2000, you will find that the expression pedal has different functions.
This pedal can be assigned to control one of several different parameters in each Preset. Rocking the pedal back and
forth will change the value of the assigned parameter.You can assign minimum and maximum values (stop points) for
each parameter that you control with the pedal.The Expression Pedal also includes a feature called V-Switch which
allows you to override the Pedal assignment. Applying extra pressure to the toe of the Expression Pedal, will enable the
selected effect in the Wah/Pitch module, and the Expression Pedal's function will change to act as the Wah or
Whammy™ if one of those is the selected effect. For more on assigning the expression pedal, see page 29.

Bypass Mode

The RP2000 can be bypassed for a clean, unprocessed, straight guitar tone.To bypass the RP2000, press the footswitch
representing the currently active Preset (the 1-4 footswitch that is lit).To bypass the RP2000 while in FX Mode, press
the 3 and 4 footswitches simultaneously.This disengages all Modeling and effects.The Display will flash bypass and all
LEDs in the Matrix will turn off while the Preset is bypassed. Pressing any footswitch will exit Bypass and return to the
last Preset used. None of the Matrix or Programming buttons are available in Bypass mode.

Tuner Mode

The Tuner in the RP2000 allows you to quickly tune or check the tuning on your guitar. Enter Tuner mode by pressing
and holding the 1 and 2 footswitches simultaneously.The Display will briefly show tuner indicating that you are in
Tuner mode.To begin tuning, play a note on your guitar (a harmonic at the 12th fret usually works best).The red display
window will show the note being played, and the green section of the display will indicate whether you are sharp or
flat. Arrows to the left indicate the note is sharp and should be tuned down. Arrows to the right indicate the note is flat
and should be tuned up.When your note is in tune, the Display will show --><--.
In Tuner mode, you can change your tuning reference by rotating the Data Wheel when ref is showing in the Display.
The default factory setting is : A=440 Hz.The tuning reference ranges from 427 Hz to 453 Hz, which is the equivalent
of ± 50 cents (1/2 semitone) in either direction from 440 Hz.When you scroll down from 427 Hz, you will also find
alternate dropped tunings. Alternate tunings are A = Ab (415), A = G (392), and A = Gb (369).The display window will
briefly flash the currently selected tuning preference.
Exit tuner mode by pressing any of the footswitches.
