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.

Pickup Model - Knob 1 selects the Pickup model to be simulated. 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). Press this knob to turn Pickup modeling on and off.

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.”

20

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 tra- ditional sounding Wah), and clyde(based on a Vox® Clyde McCoyTM Wah). Press this knob to turn Wah models on and off.

Wah Minimum - Knob 2 adjusts the Wah Pedal Minimum. Ranges from 0 (toe up) to 99 (toe down).
