Harmony; Amp Modeling - DigiTech RP 2000 User Manual

Section Three - Effects and Parameters

Harmony

The Harmony module functions much the same as a Pitch Shifter except that a Pitch Shifter stays parallel
to your note at the specified interval, and the Harmony module knows which notes to make sharp or flat
in order to keep the shifted pitches within the specified key and scale.The Harmony module lets you select
the key, scale and amount of shifting in the signal and all shifted notes will remain diatonically correct.
The Amount Parameter selects the Harmony interval.The Harmony interval choices include:
octdn (octave down), 7thdn (a seventh below), 6thdn (a sixth below), 5thdn (a fifth
below), 4thdn (a fourth below), 3rddn (a third below), 2nddn (a second below), 2ndup (a
second above), 3rdup (a third above), 4thup (a fourth above), 5thup (a fifth above),
6thup (a sixth above), 7thup (a seventh above), and octup (an octave above).
This Parameter is used to select the reference scale the Harmony module will use.There are
10 Scale choices including: Major (Major), Minor (Minor), Dorian (Dorian), mixlyd
(Mixolydian), lydian (Lydian), harmin (Harmonic Minor), blues (Blues), majpnt (Major
Pentatonic), minpnt (Minor Pentatonic), and wholet (Whole Tone).The Scale Parameter is
only available with the Harmony selection.
The Key Parameter is used to select the root key of the scale that will be used in the
Harmony processor.There are 12 possible choices for the Key ranging from C to Bb.The Key
Parameter is only available with the Harmony selection.
The Level Parameter adjusts the volume of the shifted pitch for the Pitch Shifter, Detuner,Whammy™, and
Harmony effects. It is not available for the Wah effect.
This Parameter selects whether the effects in Wah/Pitch column will be placed Pre: in the signal path
before the amp modeling (as if you were connecting stomp boxes in between your guitar and amp), or
Post: placed after the amp modeling (as if they were in the effects loop of an amplifier).

Amp Modeling

Amp Modeling is a new technology which applies the tone of different amp types to your guitar signal.The
RP2000 has 10 extremely flexible Amp Models, and 2 Acoustic Guitar Models.These Models are capable of
producing emulations of several popular modern and vintage amps, from the smoothest of the blues tones
to the full shred gain of a cranked up stack.The Model module also has 2 acoustic guitar simulations.The
Modeling section includes two channels (Red and Green). Separate Models, Gain, EQ, and Level settings
can be assigned to each Channel.You can then toggle between Amp Channels using the number 2 (Amp
Channel) footswitch in FX Mode.
This Parameter is used to select one of the two Amp Channels for editing.The Red and Green Channels
are both fully programmable with Amp Type, Gain, Levels, and EQ. One Channel can be used for a clean
sound and the other can be used for a distorted sound. Switching channels occurs instantly giving you
more flexibility during performances.The color of the LED above the Channel footswitch and the Amp
Model LED in the Matrix will change to reflect the active Channel.
This Parameter selects the Amp Model, or Acoustic Model you wish to emulate.The choices include:
blkfac (based on a '65 Fender Twin Reverb)
BoutiQ (based on a Matchless DC30)
rectif (based on a Mesa Dual Rectifier)
Hotrod (based on a Mesa Boogie Mark II C)
Tweed (based on a '57 Fender Tweed Deluxe)
Clas A (based on a Vox AC30 top boost)
brtstk (based on a Marshall JCM900)
