Changing presets, or turning the power off before storing any changes, erases any changes made and the RP250 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 60 User preset locations (presets 1-60). The following steps outline the procedure for storing changes to a preset or copying a preset to a different location: 1. The Store button LED blinks and the first character in the Display flashes, indicating that you can now name your custom creation. Use Knob 1 to select the alpha-numeric character and Knob 2 to select the next character location. 1. Once the desired name is shown in the display, press the Store button again to enter the second stage of the storing process. Select the User preset location where your new sound will reside using the Up and Down Footswitches. The display alternates between showing the preset name and User preset number about to be overwritten. 3. 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. 18 Section Three - Models and Parameters About the Models The RP250 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 RP250 has placed the Amp and Effect models in an order for optimum results. The following diagram shows the order in which they are connected. Pickup Simulator Wah Compressor Chorus/ Modulation (Whammy) Distortion Amp Modeling EQ Cabinet Model Noise Gate Volume Pre Chorus/ Modulation Delay Reverb Volume Post 19 Model Definitions Each Amp and Effect model within the RP250 can be programmed to suit your personal taste and application. Understanding how these components alter the sound, and how each parameter alters the effect, will help you achieve the sound you are looking for. The following overview of the RP250's effects outlines what each effect and parameter does. Pickup The Pickup Simulator provides the thick tone of a humbucker pickup to a guitar with single coil pickups, or the bright, edgy sound of a single coil pickup to a guitar with a humbucker. This gives you the best of both worlds without having to change guitars during a performance. Values include: SC>Hb (gives a single coil pickup the warm tone of a humbucker), and Hb>SC (gives a humbucker the unique sound of a single coil). Preset Level - Knob 4 adjusts the preset's level. Wah Wah is an effect controlled by an Expression Pedal making the guitar sound as if it's saying "Wah. " Wah Model - Knob 1 selects the Wah model. Values include: FuLrnG (DigiTech® Full Range Wah sweeps the entire spectrum of audible frequencies), CrYwah (Cry Wah is a traditional sounding Wah), and clyde(based on a Vox® Clyde McCoyTM Wah). Ranges from 0 (toe up) to 99 (toe down). 20 Wah Maximum - Knob 3 adjusts the Wah Pedal Maximum. Ranges from 0 (toe up) to 99 (toe down). Wah Level - Knob 4 adjusts the Wah Level. [. . . ] Rotate Knob 4 to select the maximum (toe) value the assigned parameter will reach with the Expression Pedal in the toe down position. See page 17 for more information on the storing procedure. 38 Factory Reset This function resets the RP250 to its original factory settings. This procedure erases all custom User presets, and recalibrates the Expression Pedal. ATTENTION: Performing this function will erase all user-programmed data. [. . . ]
