About the RP300

The Presets

Presets are named and numbered locations of programmed sounds which reside in the RP300.
Presets are recalled with the Footswitches.The active effects in each Preset will be indicated
by the lighted LEDs in the Effect Matrix.The RP300 comes with 40 User Presets (Presets 1-40)
and 40 Factory Presets (Presets 41-80).The User Presets are locations where your creations
may be stored.The Factory Presets will not allow you to store any changes to them. From the
factory, the 40 User Presets are exact duplicates of the 40 Factory Presets.This allows you to
create your own Presets without the worry of losing any of the sounds that came with the
RP300.

Performance Mode

When you first apply power to the RP300, it will power up in Performance mode. Performance
mode provides access to all of the Presets within the RP300 via the Up and Down
Footswitches.The Number 1 Knob (left) will adjust the Gain for the selected Amp Type,
the Number 2 Knob (second from the left) will adjust the amount of Bass enhancement, the
Number 3 Knob (middle) will adjust the amount of Mid-range enhancement, the Number 4
Knob (second from the right) will adjust the amount of Treble (high frequency) enhancement,
and the Number 5 Knob (right) will adjust the Master Level (volume).

indicating the Preset is bypassed. Pressing any of the 3 Footswitches will exit Bypass and
return the RP300 to the previously selected Preset.

The Tuner in the RP300 allows you to quickly tune or check the tuning on your guitar. Enter
Tuner mode by pressing and holding the Up and Down 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 right 2 characters in
the Display will show the note being played.The left characters in the Display indicate whether
you are sharp or flat. Arrows pointing to the left (<<<) indicate the note is sharp and should
be tuned down. Arrows pointing to the right (>>>) indicate the note is flat and should be
tuned up.When the note is in tune, the Display will show TUNED.
In Tuner mode, you can change your tuning reference.The default factory setting is A=440 Hz.
(displayed as A=440). Rotating the Number 1 Knob will select alternate dropped tunings.
Alternate tunings are A = Ab (displayed as A=A&), A = G (displayed as A=G), and A = Gb
(displayed as A=G&).The display window will briefly flash the currently selected tuning
preference.
The output is muted in Tuner mode.The Expression Pedal will unmute the output allowing
