Editing/Creating Presets

The RP250 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 doesn’t 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 46) based on different musical styles. The Effects Library knob will then let you select from a palette of effects chains (see page 47), from simple delays to full multi-effect signals with modulation, delay and reverb. Use the Effects Level Knob to easily increase or decrease the 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.

To edit and create a preset:

1.Use the Footswitches to select the preset you wish to edit.

2.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.

3.Press the Edit Up/Down buttons to begin selecting the individual Effects rows to edit their parameters.

4.To bypass or enable an Effect row, press the Tone Library knob.

5.Use Knobs 2-4to modify the effects’ parameter settings.

6.Select the Pickup row and use Knob 4 to adjust the Preset Level.
