Editing/Creating Presets

The RP350 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 doesnt 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. The easiest way to start is by using the Tone Library and Effects Library knobs. The Tone Library knob will let you select from a variety of pre-programmed amp/distortion tones (see page 31) based on different musical styles. The Effects Library knob will then let you select from a palette of effects chains (see page 31), from simple delays to full multi-effect signals with modulation, delay and reverb. Use the Effects Level Knob to increase or decrease the overall Chorus/FX, Delay and Reverb levels if desired. Using these three controls should get you close to a sound you are after. From there you can then use the Edit buttons to navigate through the individual effects for some fine tune edits.
1. Select a tone with the Tone Library knob
2. Select an effect 3. Adjust the or effects chain with the effects level with the Effects Library knob Effects Level knob
To edit and create a preset: 1. Use the Up and Down Footswitches to select the preset you wish to edit. 2. If you find a preset close to what you want, you can begin editing the effect parameters by pressing the Edit Up/Down buttons and selecting the Effect row you want to edit. 3. If you are trying to find something 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. 4. Press the Edit Up/Down buttons to begin selecting the individual Effects rows to edit their parameters. 5. To bypass or enable an Effect row, press the Tone Library knob. 6. Use the Knobs 2-6 to modify the effects parameter settings. 7. When editing the Amp Model and EQ rows, use the Amp A/B Footswitch to select between the two amp channels. You can then edit each channels Amp Model, Cabinet Model, Amp Gain, Amp Level, and EQ settings independently. Note: Anytime a stored value within a preset is changed, the Store button LED lights up. This indicates that you need to store the changes. Changing presets, or turning the power off before storing any changes, erases any changes made and the RP350 will revert to the stored values for the preset.

Storing/Copying/Naming a Preset
Once the preset has been modified to your liking, you may store your settings to any of the 70 User preset locations (presets U1-U70). 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 Store button LED blinks and the first character in the Display flashes, indicating that you can now name your custom creation. 2. Use Knob 1 to select the alpha-numeric character and Knob 2 to select the next character location.
1. Press Store; characters in Display flash individually
2. Use Knobs to name Preset
3. Once the desired name is shown in the display, press the Store button again to enter the second stage of the storing process. The red Display begins to flash. 4. Select the User preset location where your new sound will reside using the Up and Down Footswitches. The displays show the preset name and User preset number about to be overwritten.
3. Press Store again; Preset number flashes
4. Select destination with Footswitches
5. Press the Store button again to save the changes. The procedure for copying one preset to another preset location is the same. Use the Footswitches to select the preset that you want to copy, then follow steps 1-4 for storing a preset as described above. Press either Edit button at any time to abort the Store procedure.

About the Models

The RP350 can be thought of as several different virtual amplifiers and individual, high-tech stompboxes in a single programmable package. With stompboxes, the order in which they are connected affects the overall sound. The RP350 has placed the Amp and Effect models in an order for optimum results. The following diagram shows the order in which they are connected.

DigiTech Whammy (wHammy) The DigiTech Whammy is an effect that uses an Expression Pedal to bend the pitch of the incoming signal, or add a bendable harmony with the original signal. As the Pedal is moved, the note bends either up or down. When DigiTech Whammy is selected, it is automatically placed before the Amp modeling as shown in the block diagram on page 13. Pre/Post Amp - Knob 2 determines where the effect appears in the effects chain. Turn counter-clockwise for Pre (appears before the Distortion effect), or clockwise for Post (appears after the Noise Gate effect). Shift Amount - Knob 3 selects the interval and direction of the pitch bend. Choices are as follows:
WhammyTM (no Dry Signal) oct up (1 octave above) 2octup (2 octaves above) 2nd dn (a second below) rv2ndn (a second below reversed pedal action) 4th dn (a fourth below) oct dn (an octave below) 2octdn (2 octaves below) DIVeBM (Dive Bomb) Harmony Bends (Dry Signal Added) m3>Mj3 (a minor third to a Major third) 2ndmj3 (a second above to a Major third above) 3rd4th (a third above to a fourth above) 4th5th (a fourth above to a fifth above) 5thoct (a fifth above to an octave above) hoctup (one octave above) hoctdn (one octave down) octu>d (octave up/down)

Delay is an effect that records a portion of the incoming signal, and then plays it back a short time later. The recording can repeat just once or several times. Delay Model - Knob 1 selects one of the 5 different Delay models. Values include: algdly (DigiTech Analog Delay), dm dly (Based on the Boss DM-2 Analog Delay), digdly (DigiTech Digital Delay), moddly (DigiTech Modulated Delay), pngdly (DigiTech Pong Delay), tapdly (DigiTech Tape Delay), and ecoplx (Based on the MaestroTM EP-2 Echoplex Tape Echo).

Expression Pedal Calibration
The Expression Pedal on the RP350 needs to be recalibrated for use after a factory reset has been performed. This calibration procedure is automatically entered after a factory reset procedure. (You can also initiate the calibration procedure by pressing and holding both Footswitches for approximately 5 seconds.) In the event the Pedals calibration fails, or if the Pedal does not function properly, it can be re-calibrated using the Pedal Calibration procedure. This will not erase the User presets. The procedure for Calibrating the Expression Pedal is as follows: 1. Press and hold the Up/Down Footswitches until PDLCAL appears in the display (BYPASS, TUNER, and Exit will be displayed before PDLCAL is accessed, after about 5 seconds.) 2. When the Display prompts you with TOE DN, rock the Expression Pedal forward (toe down) and press either Footswitch. 3. When the Display prompts you with TOE UP, rock the Expression Pedal back (toe up) and press either Footswitch. 4. The Display now prompts you to calibrate the V-Switch sensitivity (VSwxxx), where XXX is the current V-Switch threshold. Rock the Expression Pedal forward and press firmly on the toe once to turn the V-Switch on (wah ON), and again to turn the V-Switch off (wahOFF). 5. If the V-Switch is too sensitive, press the right Up Footswitch to raise the threshold (range is 0-200). Keep testing the V-Switch sensitivity and adjust the threshold until it only engages when you want it to (too sensitive a setting will lead to the V-Switch falsely triggering on or off when using the Expression Pedal). 6. When the V-Switch sensitivity is set to your satisfaction, press both Up/Down Footswitches simultaneously to exit. Note: If the Display shows error, an error has occurred and steps 2 through 5 should be repeated.
