About the RP1000

Do yourself a favor and read the next couple pages before you start playing with your new RP1000. It’ll help you get the most out of it without having to read the whole manual.

Preset Mode and Pedalboard Mode

There are two different ways to use the footswitches with the presets: Preset Mode and Pedal- board Mode. Push the Pedalboard button (just to the right of the knobs below the Display) to toggle between these two modes.

Preset Mode

In Preset mode (Pedalboard button is off), each of the 10 numbered footswitches loads a preset, and you can’t turn individual models on or off with the footswitches. The Up/Down footswitches select banks of 10 presets.

Pedalboard Mode

In Pedalboard mode, footswitches 1-5 select presets, and footswitches 6-10 act like pedals on a pedalboard.That means you can turn the distortion, chorus, etc. on and off within each preset. The first time you power up the RP1000 when you take it out of the box (or after doing a factory restore), it’s in Pedalboard mode.

The RP1000 remembers which mode you’re in when you turn it off, and keeps it in that mode when you turn it back on.

Bypass

You can bypass all the internal amps and effects in the RP1000 by stepping on the currently active preset’s footswitch. In bypass mode, your guitar’s clean signal comes through without any processing.To exit bypass mode and re-activate the preset you were in, just step the same foot- switch again.To exit bypass mode and activate another preset, step on a different footswitch.

If you’re using the Amp Loop and/or the Stomp Loop when you go into bypass mode, any de- vices connected to the Amp Loop and Stomp Loop are still active. So you can use bypass to kill all the effects in the RP1000 without bypassing your amp/preamp connected to the Amp Loop.
