Presets

Presets are named and numbered locations of programmed sounds which reside in the RP255. Presets are recalled with the Footswitches. The active effects in each preset are indicated by lighted LEDs in the Effect Matrix. The RP255 comes with 60 User presets (1-60) and 60 Fac- tory presets (61-120). The User presets are locations where your creations may be stored. The Factory presets do not allow you to store any changes to them. From the factory, the 60 User presets are exact duplicates of the 60 Factory presets. This allows you to create your own presets without losing the sounds that came with the RP255.

The Tone Library knob, Effects Library knob, and Effects Level knob make it easy to quickly load preset tones, effects, and effects chains.
