Changing Effects - DigiTech RP21D User Manual

The display is now telling you four things about the digital effect.
1. The effect module is on. The number 1 icon is indicating that you need to press the number 1 button in order to change the status of the
effect.
2. The current effect is a Thru module (just passes dry signal) and it is using one fourth of the processing power available. The number two
icon is indicating that you must press the number two button to access the type of effect. You can then rotate the Data Wheel to select any
of the quarter power effects. The processing power allocated to the effects can only be changed by selecting a different configuration.
3. The pan position of the Thru module is in the center. The number four icon is indicating that you must press the number four button to
access the pan parameter. You can then use the Data Wheel to change the pan position.
4. This is the only page of parameters associated with the Thru module.

Changing Effects

When you change the configuration on a Program, all modules in the new configuration will automatically default as thru modules. This
means that you will not have any digital effects processing until you select the type of effects that you want to use. Choosing the type of effect
is accomplished by pressing the number 2 button and rotating the Data Wheel until the desired type of effect is shown above the number two
icon. Then you can edit the parameters associated with the effect to suit your application. Let's suppose that you wanted a chorus as the first
effect in your digital chain. From the screen shown previously, you would press the number two button, and rotate the Data Wheel until the
display showed Chorus above the number 2 icon. The display would look something like this:
The Display is now telling you four things about the Chorus Effect.
1. The Effect is on. The number one icon is indicating that you must press the number one button to access the on/off parameter. You can
then rotate the Data Wheel to change the status of the Chorus Effect.
2. The type of effect currently active is a Chorus. The number two icon is indicating that you must press the number 2 button to access the
type of effect. You can then rotate the Data Wheel to select a different type of effect.
3. The default setting for the Chorus is Factory default 1 (F1) which is a medium chorus setting. The number four icon is indicating that you
must press the number four button in order to access the default parameter. You can then rotate the Data Wheel to select a different default.
4. There are 5 pages of parameters associated with the Chorus, and you are currently on the first page. Pressing the Next Page button will
advance to the second page.
