Line Conditioning - The RP-12 is sensitive to voltage drops, spikes,
and surges. Interference such as lightning or power "brownouts" can
seriously, and in extreme cases, permanently damage the circuitry
inside the unit. Here are some ways to avoid this type of damage:
• Spike/Surge Suppressors - This is an inexpensive solution to all
but the severest of AC line conditions. Surge protected power
strips usually cost only slightly more than unprotected strips,
making them a worthy investment for protection of all your valu-
able gear.
• AC Line Conditioners - This is the best way to go for total protec-
tion from improper line voltages, albeit the more expensive way.
Line conditioners constantly monitor for excessively high or low
voltages and adjust accordingly, thus delivering consistent power
levels.
The front panel controls and functions of the RP-12 are as follows

1) Pedalboard - The RP-12's pedalboard consists of twelve switches
and a real-time Continuous Controller Pedal. The ten main switches
are labeled 1 - 0 (10) and can be set to turn effects on or off,
change Programs, or toggle continuous controllers. From the
Factory, switches 1-5 are assigned to change programs. Switches
6-0, are used to turn effects on or off. The Bank Up/Bypass (top
row, far right switch) move Up through any of ther 25 banks in the
RP-12 and will allow you to bypass all the effect functions of the
RP-12 by pressing the footswitch down. When the RP-12 is in
Bypass mode, the instrument sound is passed directly from the
input to the outputs without effects. The Bank Down/Tuner Switch
(bottom row, far right) allows you to move down through any of the
25 banks, by pressing, or access the tuner by pressing and holding
the footswitch.
