When the Display prompts you with 3. rock the Expression Pedal back (toe up)
and press Footswitch 5.
The Display now prompts you to calibrate the V-Switch sensitivity (
4. ), where
is the current V-Switch threshold. Rock the Expression Pedal forward and press
firmly on the toe once to turn the V-Switch on (), and again to turn the V-Switch off
().
If the V-Switch is too sensitive, press the 5. Up Footswitch to raise the threshold (range is
0-199). The Down Footswitch decreases sensitivity. Keep testing the V-Switch sensitivity
and adjust the threshold until it only engages when you want it to (too sensitive a setting
will lead to the V-Switch falsely triggering on or off when using the Expression Pedal).
When the V-Switch sensitivity is set to your satisfaction, press 6. Footswitch 5 to exit.
Note: If the Display shows , an error has occurred and steps 2 through 5 should be
repeated.

Bypass
Any preset in the RP1000 can be bypassed using the preset footswitches. Bypass will defeat all
amp and effects modeling an output an unprocessed bypass signal. Bypass can be selected any
time during performance or editing.
Press the currently active preset’s footswitch. The display will read
1. and unpro-
cessed guitar signal will be heard on all outputs.
Press any footswitch again to exit bypass and return to the last state (edited or unedited) 2.
the RP1000 was in.
When a preset is bypassed, any devices connected to the Amp Loop and Stomp Loop will still be
active, meaning you can use bypass to kill all effects in the RP1000 without bypassing your core
tone.
Looper
The RP1000 includes a dedicated Looper phrase sampler that lets you record up to 20 seconds
of your guitar playing and play it back as an endless loop so you can solo over it, You can also
add more guitar work to the recorded loop (overdub). What’s great about the RP1000’s Looper
is that even while the Looper is playing back and/or recording you can select different presets or
turn on and off effects to add different sounds to your loop or overdubs.
You turn on the RP1000’s Looper with the Looper button in the matrix section and control it
with the Up/Down footswitches when the Looper is turned on. You can also connect an FS3X
footswitch to the Looper Control input jack on the rear panel for stand-alone remote control
of the Looper.
Normally, when the Looper is turned on, the Up/Down footswitches won’t change preset banks.
However, if an FS3X footswitch is connected to the Looper Control input on the rear panel of
the RP1000, the Looper will always be enabled, the Looper button will always be lit, and the
RP1000’s Up/Down footswitches will always change banks.
There are two ways to use the Looper: with a “quiet start” or “on the fly.” “Quiet start” means
you activate the Looper’s record feature when you’re not playing your guitar, and it automatically
starts recording when you start playing. “On the fly” means you activate the record feature while
you’re playing, and it starts recording as soon as you step on the Down footswitch.
