3.This is the minimum value that the parameter will change to. In our example this is the status when the light on the footswitch is out.

4.This is the maximum value that the parameter will change to. In our example this is the status when the light on the footswitch is on. There are parenthesis in between the words Min and Max. These parenthesis will show the value as it changes in real time.

5.There are 19 pages of parameter control assignments that can be made. Each assignment is represented as one page.

Anytime that you make or change an assignment to a footswitch, you need to store the new assignments to the Program. See page 47 for information on Storing procedures.

If you try to assign an on/off function to a pedal that is currently assigned to select a program, or vice-versa, the Display will verify this change and ask you if you want to reassign the pedal. The Display will look something like this:

At this point you have two options:

1.If you want to change the Footswitch assignment from selecting a Program to switching an effect on and off, or vice versa, select yes by pressing the number 3 button.

2.If you don’t want to reassign the function of the Footswitch, select no by pressing the number 4 button.

If no selection is made within 3 seconds, the RP21D will assume you did not want to reassign the footswitch and return to the previous menu.

Expression Pedal Assignments

The built in Expression Pedal on your RP21D can control any parameter of any effect in real time. In most of the Factory Programs the Expression Pedal is acting as a Volume Pedal, a Wah Pedal, or a Pitch Bend. However you can also assign the Expression Pedal to morph between the tube and solid state distortion paths, or between two different Digital effects, or change the delay time, or any number of other parameters. Assigning functions to the expression pedal are easy with the RP21D. Simply follow the steps listed below.

1.Use the Preamp or Effects buttons to select the effect module containing the parameter that you want to control.

2.Use the Next Page button to select the page containing the parameter you want to control.

3.Use the 1-4 numbered parameter buttons to access the specific parameter that you want to control.

4.Press the Assign button once.

5.Rock the Expression Pedal back and forth once.

6.Set the minimum and maximum values for the parameter.

7.Store the assignment to your Program.

If the Expression Pedal is already assigned to a parameter, you will have to delete the assignment. If you do not delete the assignment, the Expression Pedal will simmply add the new assignment and control both parameters simultaneously. See the section on Viewing, Changing, or Deleting Expression Pedal Assignments for more information.
