Page 8: About The Rp155
About the RP155 Performance Mode When you first apply power to the RP155, it powers up in Performance mode. Performance mode provides access to all of the presets within the RP155 via the Up and Down Footswitches. Knob 1 selects a tone from the Tone Library, Knob 2 selects an effect combination from the Ef- fects Library, Knob 3 adjusts the Effects Level, and Knob 4 adjusts the Master Level (volume). - Page 9 Display shows note played Top LEDs indicate note is sharp Green LED indicates note is in tune Bottom LEDs indicate note is flat In Tuner mode, you can change your tuning reference. The default factory setting is A=440 Hz (displayed as 40). Rotating Knob 1 selects alternate and dropped tunings. Alternate tunings are A=453Hz to A=427 Hz (displayed as 53 to 27).

Page 22: Section Two - Editing Functions
Section Two - Editing Functions Editing/Creating Presets The RP155 is designed to make preset editing and creation easy and intuitive. When creating your own sound, you must first start with an existing preset. Note that the preset you begin with doesn’t have to be in the memory location you intend to have it reside, since you can store it to any User preset location during the store procedure. - Page 23 To edit and create a custom preset: 1. Use the Footswitches to select the preset you wish to edit. If you are trying to find some- thing different from the existing presets, begin by using the Tone Library, Effects Library, and Effects Level knobs to get close to a sound you want.

The shifted note is then mixed back with the original signal, sounding as if two guitars were playing different notes. Shift Amount - Knob 2 selects the interval of the shifted pitch. -
Page 39: Harmony Pitch Shifting
Harmony Pitch Shifting (HA) Harmony Pitch Shifting makes a copy of the incoming signal, and then changes the pitch of the copied note to a diatonically correct interval specified by the Amount parameter. A Harmony Pitch Shifter sharpens or flattens the shifted pitch in order to keep the specified interval within the selected key and scale creating a true harmony. -
