Section Two - Editing Functions

Editing/Creating Presets

The RP250 is designed to make preset editing and creation easy and intuitive. When creatingyour own sound, you must irst start with an existing preset. Note that the preset you beginwith doesn’t have to be in the memory location you intend to have it reside, since you can storeit 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 ToneLibrary knob will let you select rom a variety o pre-programmed amp/distortion tones (seepage 46) based on dierent musical styles. The Effects Library knob will then let you select

rom a palette o eects chains (see page 47), rom simple delays to ull multi-eect signals withmodulation, delay and reverb. Use the Effects Level Knob to easily increase or decrease theChorus/FX, Delay and Reverb levels i desired. Using these three controls should get you closeto a sound you are ater. From there you can then use the Edit buttons to navigate through theindividual eects or some ine tune edits.

To edit and create a preset:1. Use the Footswitches to select the preset you wish to edit.

2. I you are trying to nd something dierent rom the existing presets, begin by using the ToneLibrary, Effects Library and Effects Level knobs to get close to a sound you want.

3. Press the Edit Up/Down buttons to begin selecting the individual Eects rows to edit theirparameters.

4. To bypass or enable an Eect row, press the Tone Library knob.5. Use Knobs2-4 to modiy the eects’ parameter settings.6. Select the Pickup row and use Knob 4 to adjust the Preset Level.
