Getting Started

Making Connections

There are several different connection options available when using the RP100. Before connecting the RP100, ensure that the power to your amplifier is turned off, and that the power to the RP100 is disconnected. There is no power switch on the RP100. To turn the RP100 on or off, connect or disconnect your instrument to the Input Jack (for battery power) or connect the optional PS0913B power supply from the Power Jack to an AC outlet (for AC power).

Mono Operation

Connect your guitar to the Input of the RP100. Connect a single mono instrument cable from the Stereo Output of the RP100 to the instrument input on your amplifier, or to the line input of a power amp.

Diagram Description: A diagram showing a guitar connected to the RP100's input, and the RP100's output connected to a guitar amplifier's input. A note indicates that connecting to an amplifier's effect return might be preferable.

Stereo Operation

For stereo operation, connect the guitar to the Input of the RP100. Connect a TRS stereo "Y" cord to the RP100's Stereo Output. Connect one end of the "Y" cord to the input of one amplifier, channel of a mixer, or power amp. Connect the second end of the "Y" cord 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 hard left and right to retain stereo separation and be sure to engage the RP100's Cabinet Emulator. See page 18 for more on selecting the Cabinet Emulator.

Applying Power

There are two options for powering the RP100: battery power and AC power. Before applying power to anything, set your amp(s) to a clean tone and set the tone controls to a flat EQ response (on most amps, this would be 0 or 5 on the tone controls). Then follow the steps listed below.

Battery Power

The RP100 can be run for about 8 hours on 6 AA batteries. The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the RP100. The following diagram shows the correct polarity for battery installation.

Diagram Description: An illustration showing the battery compartment with four AA batteries installed, indicating positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.

Connecting your instrument to the Input of the RP100 will engage the battery power, and disconnecting your instrument from the Input of the RP100 will disengage the battery power. Once the connections have been made, and the RP100 is powered (indicated by numbers appearing in the Display), turn the RP100's Master Level (far right knob) all the way down. Turn your amplifier(s) power switch to the on position and adjust the volume(s) to a normal playing level. Gradually increase the RP100 Master Level to achieve the desired volume. To prolong the battery life, disconnect your instrument from the RP100's Input when not in use.

AC Power

The RP100 can also be powered with the optional PS0913B power supply. Once the audio connections have been made, turn the RP100's Master Level (far right knob) all the way down. Connect the plug of the PS0913B power supply to the power jack on the rear panel of the RP100. Connect the other end of the PS0913B power supply to an AC outlet. Turn the power of your amplifier(s) to the on position and adjust the volume(s) to a normal playing level. Gradually increase the RP100 Master Level to achieve the desired volume.

About the RP100

The Presets

Presets are numbered locations of programmed sounds within the RP100. Presets are recalled with the Footswitches. The active effects in each Preset are indicated by lighted LEDs in the Effect Matrix. The RP100 comes with 40 User Presets (Presets 1-40) and 40 Factory Presets (Presets 41-80). User Presets are locations where your creations can be stored. Factory Presets do not allow storing changes. Initially, the 40 User Presets are exact duplicates of the 40 Factory Presets, allowing you to create your own Presets without losing the original sounds.

Performance Mode

When you first apply power, the RP100 powers up in Performance mode. This mode provides access to all Presets via the Right and Left Footswitches. Parameter 1 (left knob) adjusts Amp Gain (distortion), Parameter 2 (middle knob) selects Amp Type, and Parameter 3 (right knob) adjusts Master Level (volume).

Bypass Mode

The RP100 Presets can be bypassed for a clean, unprocessed guitar tone. To bypass, press both Footswitches simultaneously. The Display will show "bY" indicating the Preset is bypassed. Pressing both Footswitches simultaneously again exits Bypass mode and returns the RP100 to the last Preset used.

Tuner Mode

The Tuner in the RP100 allows you to quickly tune or check the tuning on your guitar. Enter Tuner mode by pressing and holding both Footswitches simultaneously. The Display will briefly show "tu" indicating Tuner mode. To begin tuning, play a note on your guitar (a harmonic at the 12th fret works best). The Display shows the note being played. The Matrix LEDs indicate if the note is sharp or flat. The top 4 Red LEDs indicate the note is sharp (tune down). The bottom 4 Red LEDs indicate the note is flat (tune up). The center Green LED indicates the note is in tune. The output is muted in Tuner mode.

In Tuner mode, you can change your tuning reference. The default setting is A=440 Hz (displayed as "40"). Rotating the Parameter 1 knob selects alternate dropped tunings: A=Ab (displayed as "Ab"), A=G (displayed as "g"), and A=Gb (displayed as "gb"). The display window will briefly flash the selected tuning preference. Exit tuner mode by pressing both Footswitches simultaneously.

Diagram Description: An illustration of the RP100 display and matrix LEDs, with labels indicating: "Display Shows Note Played", "Top LEDs Indicate Note is Sharp", "Green LED Indicates Note is In Tune", "Bottom LEDs Indicate Note is Flat".

Section Two - Editing Functions

Editing/Creating Presets

Creating your own signature sound with the RP100 is easy and intuitive. The RP100 lets you create your own Presets or fine-tune existing ones. When creating or editing a sound, you must start with a User or Factory Preset; you cannot start with an empty Preset. The Preset number does not have to be the final location; you can save your creation to any User Preset location during the store process.

To edit or create a Preset:

1. Use the Footswitches to select a Preset that will be your starting point.
2. Once you have found a Preset to edit, press the Select button once to enter Editing mode.
3. Use the Select button in conjunction with the Matrix to choose the effect you wish to edit.
4. Use the 3 Knobs to change parameter values to achieve the desired sound.

The Matrix

The Matrix is where all Effects and Parameters are selected for editing. In Edit mode, successive presses of the Select button advance to the next Effect row, and an LED lights indicating the selected Effect group. Each Effect has up to 3 Parameters that can be modified. The Knob under each parameter column is used to change the value for the corresponding Parameter. As a Knob is rotated, the Parameter value or status is shown in the Display.

When a Parameter's stored value is changed, the Store LED lights, indicating that you need to store the changes. Changing Presets or turning off the power before storing changes will erase them and revert to the stored values for the Preset.

Diagram Description: An illustration of the RP100 front panel showing the Matrix section with callouts for "Use Select Button to Select Effect", "Parameter 1 Knob Adjusts Left Column", "Parameter 2 Knob Adjusts Center Column", and "Parameter 3 Knob Adjusts Right Column".

Storing/Copying a Preset

Once a Preset has been modified to your liking, you can store your settings to any of the 40 User Preset locations (Presets 1-40). The following steps outline the procedure for storing changes to a Preset or copying a Preset to a different location:

1. Press the Store button once; the current Preset location will flash in the Display, prompting you to select a User Preset location.
2. Select the User Preset location using the Footswitches.
3. Press the Store button again to save the changes.

The procedure for copying one Preset to another location is the same. Simply use the Footswitches to select the Preset you want to copy, then follow the steps above.

Diagram Description: An illustration showing the RP100 front panel with callouts for the store process: "1. Press Store Display Flashes", "2. Select Destination with Footswitches", "3. Press Store Again".

Section Three - Effects and Parameters

About the Effects
