Section 4 - Effects and Parameters
The Effects Library consists of all the effects Modules you can find in
the RP-12. Broken down into individual categories, specific Modules
and their abbreviated library names are as follows:
Module Abbrv.
Description
Comp
Analog compressor tailored for instruments
Dist
Analog distortion (3 solid-state types)
The analog section of the RP-12 includes the compressor and the dis-
tortion section. These two items are always available in all Programs.
The analog effects and their Parameters are as follows:
The RP-12's compressor is a high-quality, low-noise circuit specially
designed for guitars. Compression can be used to increase sustain
and to tighten up guitars, and is particularly useful on clean sounds.
Parameters of the RP-12 compressor are as follows:
Comp On / Bypass ........Turns the Module on or off. When Modules are
Comp Amount ...............Controls the amount of compression applied to
Comp Level ...................Sets the output level of the compressor before
The distortion section of the RP-12 is capable of producing three dis-
tinctly different types of distortion. These three solid-state distortion
sounds range from lightly overdriven, to screaming grunge. The
Grunge setting gives you extremely high-gain distortion, free from the
mush and tonal sacrifices typical of other manufacturers' products.
Dist On / Bypass ...........Turns the Module on or off. When Modules are
Distortion Type ..............Selects the type of distortion to be used in the

more signal level into the distortion, yielding
extra gain and drive. Varies from 1 to 7.
