Getting Started

Making Connections

There are several different connection options available with the RP500. Before connecting the
RP500, make sure that the power to your amplifier and the RP500 is turned off. There is no
power switch on the RP500. To turn the RP500 on or off, connect or disconnect the included
PS0913B power supply from the Power Input jack.

Amp/Cabinet Bypass

The RP500 lets you bypass its amp and cabinet tones so you can apply its effects to your own
amp/cabinet tone. To bypass the RP500 amp and cabinet tones in all presets, enable the Amp/
Cabinet Bypass button. To utilize the RP500 amp and cabinet tones, disable the Amp/Cabi-
net Bypass button.
Mono Operation - Amplifier
Connect your guitar to the Input of the RP500. Connect a single mono instrument cable from
the Left (Mono) output of the RP500 to the instrument input or effect return on your ampli-
fier. Set the ¼˝ Amp/Mixer switch to Amp. This setup usually uses the Amp/Cabinet Bypass.

Stereo Operation

For stereo operation connect the guitar to the Input of the RP500. Connect one cable to
the RP500's Left (Mono) output, and another cable to the RP500's Right output. Connect
one cable to the input of one amplifier, channel of a mixer, or power amp. Connect the second
cable to a second amplifier, second channel of a mixer, or power amp. If connecting to a mixing
console, set the pan controls of the mixer channels hard left and right in order to retain stereo
separation. If connecting to a mixer, set the ¼˝ Amp/Mixer switch to Mixer. If connecting to
two amplifiers, set the ¼˝ Amp/Mixer switch to Amp. This setup usually uses the Amp/Cabinet
Bypass.
