Section One - Introduction  
Getting Acquainted  
Congratulations on your purchase of the RP1000.The RP1000 Integrated Effects Switching  
System takes your tone to the next level giving you the control that you need over your  
external amp and stompboxes while packing in the power of a multi-effects processor. Use the  
RP1000 to control and spice up your tone without any compromises.The RP1000’s vast pallet  
of stompboxes, effects, amps and cabinets allow you to get any sound imaginable and then some.  
Easily dial up a sound using the Tone and Effects Library knobs.You will appreciate the tone and  
dynamic interaction of each of the amps, stompboxes, and effects with your system.Add USB  
support for computer recording and you have the RP1000: the key to unlock your creative  
potential.  
Included Items  
Before you get started, please make sure that these things are in the box:  
RP1000  
Cubase LE 4 DVD  
PS0913B Power Supply  
Warranty Card  
We took a lot of care when we put this product together. Everything should be included and in  
perfect working order. If anything’s missing, contact the factory at once. Help us get to know  
You’ll be glad you did if you have any questions about your RP1000 down the road.  
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.

Amp/Cabinet Bypass  
You can also turn off the internal amps and cabinets for all the presets in the RP1000. This is  
really useful when you just want to add effects processing to your own core amplifier sound. So  
basically the RP1000 becomes a straight multi-effects box when you do this, and onlyWah, Com-  
pressor, Distortion, Equalizer, Noise Gate, Chorus/FX, Delay, and Reverb are used.  
To bypass amp/cabinet modeling in all presets, press the Amp/Cabinet Bypass button. When  
that button is lit, amp/cabinet modeling is bypassed in all presets.  
You can use amp/cabinet bypass in Preset or Pedalboard mode.  
Tuner  
The RP1000’s built-in tuner lets you quickly and easily tune your guitar, even on a dark stage.  
Just press and hold the currently active preset’s Footswitch for 2 seconds. The Display briefly  
shows bypassthen tunerto let you know you’re inTuner mode. To begin tuning, play a note  
on your guitar (a harmonic at the 12th fret usually works best). The Numeric Display shows  
the note being played. Arrows on the right mean the note is sharp and should be tuned down.  
Arrows on the left mean the note is flat and should be tuned up. A left and a right arrow in the  
center mean the note is in tune. The Expression Pedal controls the guitar volume while tuning.  
Exit tuner mode by pressing any Footswitch.  
Left and right arrows  
in the center indicate  
note is in tune  
Note being played  
A
If you use an alternate tuning, like down a half-step or drop D, you can still use the tuner as if  
you were in standard tuning. Just go intoTuner mode and change your tuning reference. The  
default setting is standard tuning, where A=440 Hz (displayed as a=440). But when you’re in  
Tuner mode, you can rotate Knob 1 to pick an alternate tuning. These include a = a , a =  
, and tuning references a=427- a=453.  
G, a = G  
Tone Library (Knob 1)  
This is one of the RP1000’s coolest features. In Pedalboard and Preset modes, you turn this knob  
to pick from a list of amp tones like Blues or Metal or Country. Each one has different Com-  
pressor, Distortion, Amp/Cabinet type, EQ, and Noise Gate settings, but you don’t have to mess  
with any of those settings if you don’t want to, they just load up automatically when you pick  
a tone from the library. If you’re into it, you can go ahead and refine the sound by editing the  
preset (see Editing/Creating Presets on page 15), but the thing is you don’t have to. TheTone Li-  
brary doesn’t change the Chorus/FX, Delay or Reverb, so you can experiment with different amp  
styles quickly with the current effect chain. When in Amp/Cabinet Bypass Mode, the amplifiers  
are bypassed, so only the distortion and overdrive stompboxes are providing distortion.  
Effects Library (Knob 2)  
This knob works hand-in-hand with theTone Library knob. In Pedalboard and Preset modes, this  
knob selects from a variety of post-amplifier effect chains (Chorus, Chorus + Delay, Delay + Re-  
verb, etc.).And just like with theTone library, you can edit the preset if you want to (see Editing/  
Creating Presets on page 15), but you don’t have to. Changing between different Effects Library  
selections doesn’t change the Compressor, Distortion, Amp/Cabinet types, EQ, and Noise Gate  
settings, so you can experiment with different effect chains quickly with the current amp tone.  
Effects Level (Knob 3)  
In Pedalboard and Preset modes, this knob changes the relative level of the post-amp effects  
(Chorus/FX, Delay, and Reverb). It’s like an effects mix control, where turning it clockwise  
increases the level of these effects and turning it counter-clockwise decreases the level of these  
effects.

Amp Gain/Effect Parameter (Knob 4)  
This knob adjusts the Gain (distortion) for the selected Amp (not available for Acoustic) and is  
also used to adjust parameters of other effects in the matrix.The amplifier and cabinets can’t be  
adjusted when the Amp/Cabinet Bypass button is enabled.  
Amp Level/Effect Parameter (Knob 5)  
This knob adjusts the Level (volume) of the selected amp and adjusts other effect parameters in  
the matrix. Amp Level can’t be adjusted when the Amp/Cabinet Bypass button is enabled.  
Master Level (Knob 6)  
This knob controls the overall output volume of all of the RP1000’s presets and adjusts other  
effect parameters in the matrix.  
X-EditTM Editor/Librarian  
You can edit your RP1000 with your computer, using the X-EditTM Editor/Librarian, which you  
Presets  
Presets are named and numbered locations of programmed sounds which reside in the RP1000  
(in case you didn’t know). You load Presets with the Footswitches (see Preset Mode and Pedal-  
board Mode on page 14 for more information about that). The active effects in each preset are  
indicated by lighted LEDs in the Effect Matrix, and if you’re in Pedalboard mode, the LEDs over  
footswitches 6-10 show you which of those effects are on or off. The RP1000 comes with 100  
User presets (1-00) and 100 Factory presets (F1-F00). You can save changes to the User presets,  
but not the Factory presets. From the factory, the 100 User presets are exact duplicates of the  
100 Factory presets. That way you can create your own presets without losing the sounds that  
came with the RP1000.

Getting Started  
Making Connections  
There are lots of ways to connect the RP1000 to amps, effects, mixers, and other equipment.  
Before connecting the RP1000 to anything, make sure both your amp and the RP1000 are turned  
off.  
Amp/Cabinet Bypass  
The RP1000 lets you bypass its amp and cabinet tones so you can apply its effects to your own  
amp/cabinet tone.To bypass the RP1000 amp and cabinet tones in all presets, push the Amp/  
Cabinet Bypass button so it’s lit. To utilize the RP1000 amp and cabinet tones, push the Amp/  
Cabinet Bypass button so it’s not lit.  
Amp Loop  
The RP1000’s Amp Loop lets you use an external amplifier or preamp with the RP1000’s signal  
path instead of the RP1000’s internal amps and cabinets. You can turn on the Amp Loop with the  
Amp Loop button on the left side of the matrix. With this button enabled, the external amp or  
preamp is placed in the signal path around internal amps and cabinets, so the internal amps and  
cabinets are totally bypassed when the Amp Loop is engaged. To enable the Amp Loop, follow  
these steps:  
1. Press the Amp Loop button on the left side of the effects matrix. When the LED on the  
Amp Loop button is lit, the Amp Loop is enabled and the connected device is now in the  
RP1000’s effects chain. Internal Amp/Cabinets are basically bypassed when the Amp Loop is  
enabled.  
2. Press the Amp Loop button again to turn off the Amp Loop. Internal Amp/Cabinets are  
now again active in the RP1000’s effects chain and the external device is bypassed.*  
The Amp Loop can also be assigned to any of the 6-10 numbered footswitches for remote  
control operation during performance. To assign a footswitch to control the Amp Loop, follow  
these steps:  
1. Press either Edit button until the Expression row has been selected (indicated by the  
Expression row’s LED lighting).  
2. Rotate Knob 1 until Fs6 asn- Fs10 asnappears in the Display. This selects which  
footswitch you are about to change the assignment for.  
3. Rotate Knob 2 until aMp LOOpappears in the Display.  
4. Store your footswitch assignment to your preset.  
*Note: If the Amp/Cabinet Bypass button is enabled, internal amp and cabinet effects are  
bypassed in all presets regardless of whether the Amp Loop is disabled.  
Also, if you attempt to enable the Amp Loop without connections being made, the display will  
briefly read no Loop indicating there are no connections made to the Amp Loop and the loop  
will not enable.  
Stomp Loop  
The RP1000 also has a stompbox effects loop (Stomp Loop). This loop lets you use an external  
effects device or effects chain with the RP1000’s signal path. The Stomp Loop has a dedicated  
Stomp Loop footswitch that enables and disables this loop during performance.  
The Stomp Loop has the option of being inserted into two different positions in the RP1000’s  
signal path: Pre Amp, or Post Amp. This lets you pick where to place external effects in the loop.  
The placement of the Stomp Loop can be saved on a per preset basis.  
To change the position of the Stomp Loop, follow these steps:  
1. Press the Edit Down button so that the Expression row is selected.  
2. Turn Knob 1 until stOMppOsappears in the Display.  
3. Turn Knob 2 to select one of the two different positions you want to insert the Stomp

Loop: pre aMp(post Distortion, pre Amp Model/Amp Loop send), or pOst aMp (Post  
Amp Model/Amp Loop return). Note that the Stomp Loop button’s LED turns red when  
it’s pre amp, and green when it’s post amp or post FX.  
4. Store these changes using the Store procedure.  
Note: If you try to enable the Stomp Loop but nothing is connected to the Stomp Loop jacks,  
the Display will briefly read nO loop. The Stomp Loop will not enable when no connections  
are present at these jacks.

Applying Power  
Before applying power to anything, set your amp(s) to a clean tone and set the tone controls to  
a flat EQ response (on most amps, this should be set to 5 on EQ’s to obtain the amp’s natural  
voicing.). Then follow the steps listed below.  
1. Turn your amp volume all the way down.  
2. Connect the PS0913B power supply the RP1000.  
3. Plug the PS0913B power supply into an AC outlet.  
4. Turn on the RP1000’s power switch and adjust the RP1000’s Master Level to 0.  
5. Turn your amp on and adjust the volume to a normal playing level.  
6. Gradually increase the RP1000’s Master Level knob to achieve the desired volume (a set-  
ting of 30 will provide approximately a unity gain signal in your system).  
3. Connect PS0913B  
to AC outlet and  
turn the RP1000’s  
Master Level to “0”  
2. Connect PS0913B to power jack  
4.Turn on the RP1000’s  
power switch.  
5.Turn amp volume up  
1.Turn amp volume down  
6.Turn the RP1000’s Master Level  
to the desired listening volume  
SectionTwo - Editing Functions  
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, 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.

Editing/Creating Presets  
The easiest way to start editing presets is with the Tone Library and Effects Library knobs.  
Try out some of the tones in the Tone Library and then try out some effects setups with  
the Effects Library knob. Use the Effects Level Knob to increase or decrease the overall  
Chorus/FX, Delay and Reverb levels if desired. Once you find a tone that’s pretty close to what  
you want, use the Edit buttons to navigate through the individual effects to make some adjust-  
ments.The steps below go into more detail about how this works.  
1. Select a tone  
with the  
Tone Library knob  
2. Select an effect  
or effects chain with the effects level with the  
Effects Library knob Effects Level knob  
3. Adjust the  
To edit and create a preset:  
1. Use the Up, Down and numbered Footswitches to select the preset you wish to edit.  
2. If you find a preset close to what you want, you can begin editing the effect parameters by  
pressing the Edit Up/Down buttons and selecting the Effect row you want to edit.  
3. 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.  
4. Press the Edit Up/Down buttons to begin selecting the individual Effects rows to edit  
their parameters.  
5. To bypass or enable an Effect row, press the Tone Library knob.  
6. Use the Knobs 2-6 to modify the effect parameter settings.  
Note: Anytime a stored value within a preset is changed, the Store button LED lights up. This  
indicates that you need to store the changes. Changing presets, or turning the power off before  
storing any changes, erases any changes made and the RP1000 will revert to the stored values  
for the preset.  
Also, if you are using the RP1000 with the Amp/Cabinet Bypass button enabled (effects only),  
Tone Libraries that use amps only will not provide distortion or tone changes since amps and  
cabinets are globally disabled.  
Editing Amp/Cabinet Models  
Each RP1000 preset has a ton of world class amp and cabinet models to choose from. To edit  
amp and cabinet models, follow these steps:  
1. Press the Edit Down button until the Amp/Cabinet row is selected. The row’s LED  
should be lit and the current amp model should be shown in the display.  
2. Turn Knob 1 to select from the different amp models.  
3. Press Knob 1. The current cabinet model will now be displayed. Turn Knob 1 to select  
from the different cabinet models. Pressing Knob 1 again will return you to the amp model  
display  
4. To bypass amp/cabinet models in a preset, turn Knob 1, fully clockwise until direct ap-  
pears in the RP1000’s main display, or enable the Amp/Cabinet Bypass button.  
Amp/Cabinet Bypass  
The RP1000 has the unique feature of being able to turn off amp and cabinet modeling globally in  
all presets. This feature is extremely useful when you just want to add effects processing to your  
own core amplifier sound. The RP1000 basically becomes a straight multi-effects box where only  
Wah, Compressor, Distortion, Equalizer, Noise Gate, Chorus/FX, Delay, Reverb and any effects  
connected to the Stomp Loop are the only effects being used.

To bypass amp/cabinet modeling in all presets, press the Amp/Cabinet Bypass button. When it is  
lit, amp/cabinet modeling is bypassed in all presets.  
Amp/Cabinet Bypass can be used in either Preset or Pedalboard mode.  
Storing/Copying/Naming a Preset  
When you’re done editing a preset, you should store your settings to any of the 100 User preset  
locations (presets 1-00). The following steps tell you how to store changes to a preset or copy a  
preset to a different location:  
1. Press the Store button once. The Store button LED blinks and the first character in the  
Display flashes, indicating that you can now name your custom creation.  
2. Use Knob 1 to select the alpha-numeric character and Knob 2 to select the next charac-  
ter location.  
1. Press Store;  
characters in Display  
flash individually  
2. Use Knobs to  
name Preset  
3. Once the desired name is shown in the display, press the Store button again to enter the  
second stage of the storing process. The red Display begins to flash.  
4. Select the User preset location where your new sound will reside using the Up and Down  
Footswitches. The displays show the preset name and User preset number about to be  
overwritten.  
3. Press Store again;  
Preset number flashes  
4. Select destination  
with UP and DOWN  
Footswitches  
5. Press the Store button again to save the changes.  
The procedure for copying one preset to another preset location is the same. Use the Foot-  
switches to select the preset that you want to copy, then follow steps 1-4 for storing a preset  
as described above. Press either Edit button at any time to abort the Store procedure.

SectionThree - Effects and Parameters  
About the Effects  
The RP1000 is like a dream collection of vintage and contemporary amplifiers with several ped-  
alboards full of classic, modern, and boutique stompboxes all in a single programmable, portable  
package. With stompboxes, the order in which they are connected affects the overall sound.  
The RP1000 has placed the Amps and Effects in an order for optimum results. The following  
diagram shows the order in which they are connected.

Effect Definitions  
Each Amp and Effect within the RP1000 can be programmed to suit your personal taste and  
application. Understanding how these components alter the sound, and how each parameter  
alters the effect, will help you get the sound you are looking for. The following pages talk about  
the RP1000’s amps, cabinets, and effects and what each effect and parameter does. For more in-  
formation about each effect, like how it’s used by some musicians, check out the Effects Descrip-  
tions section on page 37.  
Wah  
Wah is an effect controlled by an Expression Pedal making the guitar sound as if it’s saying  
“Wah.”  
Wahs - Knob 1 selects the Wah type. Values include: Cry wah(Cry Wah is a tradi-  
tional sounding Wah), clydewahbased on aVox® Clyde McCoyTM Wah), and FuLlranG  
(DigiTech® Full Range Wah sweeps the entire spectrum of audible frequencies). Press this  
knob to turn Wah on and off.  
Wah Level - Knob 2 adjusts the Wah Level. Ranges from 0dB to +12dB.  
Compressor  
A Compressor is used to increase sustain, tighten up guitars, and prevent the signal from clip-  
ping the input of other effects. It sets a maximum boundary for the strength of a signal.  
Comp - Knob 1 selects one of three Compressors: DIGiCoMp(DigiTech® Compressor),  
Cs COMp(Based on a Boss® CS-2 Compressor/Sustainer), or DynoCOMp(Based on an  
MXR® Dynacomp). Press this knob to turn the selected Compressor on and off.

Flanger  
A Flanger uses the same principle as a Chorus but uses a shorter delay time and adds regenera-  
tion (or repeats) to the modulating delay. This results in an exaggerated up and down sweep-  
ing motion to the effect. The RP1000 includes the following Flanger Effects: fLanger (the  
DigiTech® Flanger), trigfLnG(the DigiTechTriggered Flanger), fLtrFLng(the DigiTech  
Filter Flanger), mx FLngr (based on an MXR® Flanger), eh FLngr (based on an Electro-  
Harmonix® Electric Mistress), and ad FLngr (based on an A/DA Flanger).

Phaser  
A phaser splits the incoming signal, and then changes the phasing of the signal. This signal is then  
taken in and out of phase and mixed back in with the original signal. As the phasing changes, dif-  
ferent frequencies get canceled resulting in a warm sort of twisting sound. The RP1000 includes  
the following Phaser types: phaser (the DigiTech Phaser), trigphas (the DigiTechTriggered  
Phaser), mx phasr (based on an MXR Phase 100), and eh phasr (based on an Electro-Har-  
monix Small Stone).

Section Four - Other Functions  
Expression Pedal  
You can link the Expression Pedal on the RP1000 to control the RP1000’sVolume, Wah,  
Whammy™,YaYa™, or almost any of the RP1000’s other parameters in real time with your foot.  
When a parameter has been linked to the Expression Pedal, you can also set the minimum (heel)  
and maximum (toe) value for the range. When you push down hard on the toe of the Expres-  
sion Pedal to activate theV-switch, the Expression Pedal switches between the linked parameter  
and theWah. To link a parameter to the Expression Pedal, follow these steps:  
1. Press either Edit button until the Expression row is selected (indicated by the LED lighting  
on the Expression row).  
2. Rotate Knob 1 until eXp peDLappears in the Display.  
3. Rotate Knob 2 until the desired parameter to be linked appears in the Display.  
4. Rotate Knob 3 to select the minimum (heel) value the assigned parameter will reach with  
the Expression Pedal in the toe up position.  
5. Rotate Knob 4 to select the maximum (toe) value the assigned parameter will reach with  
the Expression Pedal in the toe down position.  
6. Store your Expression Pedal assignment to your preset. See page 16 for more information  
on the storing procedure.  
Footswitch Assign  
You can link footswitches 6-10 to almost any of the RP1000’s parameters or to enable and dis-  
able the Amp Loop. From the factory, footswitches 6-10 are set to turn on and off the Com-  
pressor, Distortion, Chorus/FX, Delay, and Reverb respectively when the Pedalboard button is  
enabled. If a parameter other than these on/off parameters is linked to these footswitches, you  
can specify a minimum value (LED off) and maximum value (LED on) for the parameter.That way  
you can toggle a parameter like chorus speed between two distinct values while you’re perform-  
ing. Footswitch assignments are stored with the preset so they can be different for every preset.  
To link a parameter to the footswitches 6-10, follow these steps:  
1. Press either Edit button until the Expression row is selected (indicated by the Expression  
row’s LED lighting).  
2. Rotate Knob 1 until Fs6 asn- Fs10 asnappears in the Display. This selects which  
footswitch you are about to change the assignment for.  
3. Rotate Knob 2 until the desired parameter to be linked appears in the Display.  
4. Rotate Knob 3 to select the minimum value the assigned parameter will reach when the  
footswitch is off (LED off).  
5. Rotate Knob 4 to select the maximum value the assigned parameter will reach when the  
footswitch is on (LED on).  
6. Store your footswitch assignments to your preset.  
LFOs  
The RP1000 includes two assignable low frequency oscillators (LFO 1 and LFO 2) that you can  
assign to any of the same parameters available for assignment to the Expression  
Pedal. A low frequency oscillator automatically varies the value of the assigned parameter at  
a steady rate. You can set the minimum and maximum value that each LFO will reach.  
For instance, if the Amp Gain is assigned to LFO 1, and the minimum value is set to 1 and  
the maximum value is set to 99, the RP1000 will automatically sweep the amount of  
distortion from a clean sound to a distorted sound. You can also set the LFO speeds. In the  
previous example, the LFO speed would determine the length of time it takes the LFO to sweep  
from the clean to the distorted sound. To assign the LFOs in the RP1000, follow these steps:  
1. Press the Edit button until the Expression row is selected (indicated by the LED lighting on  
the Expression row).  
2. Rotate Knob 1 to select one of the two LFO links, LFO 1 (LFO 1) or LFO 2 (LFO 2).  
3. Rotate Knob 2 to select the parameter you want linked to the LFO 1 or LFO 2.  
4. Rotate Knob 5 to select which waveform you want the LFO to use,Triangle (trIanGle),  
Sine (sIne), or Square (sQuare).  
5. Rotate Knob 6 to select the speed you want the parameter to be controlled at.

Wah Min/Max  
You can set theWah effect’s minimum and maximum values with the Expression row. To do so,  
follow these steps:  
1. Press the Edit button until the Expression row is selected (indicated by the LED lighting on  
the Expression row).  
2. Rotate Knob 1 to select wah pedl.  
3. Rotate Knob 3 to adjust theWah effect’s minimum value.  
4. Rotate Knob 4 to adjust theWah effect’s maximum value.  
Expression Update  
You can set up the RP1000’s Expression pedal to update its position each time you change  
presets. Normally, the Expression pedal only updates its position on a preset change when it’s  
linked to theVolume Pre orVolume Post parameter in a preset. This lets the Expression pedal  
behave like a real volume pedal between preset changes.When Expression Update is enabled  
(ON), the Expression pedal will update its position no matter what parameter it’s linked to, so it  
has more of an “analog” feel like a typical standalone expression pedal.  
To enable the Expression Update function, follow these steps:  
1. Press the Edit button until the Expression row is selected (indicated by the LED lighting on  
the Expression row).  
2. Rotate Knob 1 to select eXpupDat. The default setting is for Expression Update is OF.  
3. Press Knob 1 to enable or disable Expression Update.  
Expression Update affects all presets. You don’t have to save this change to each preset.  
Factory Reset  
This function resets the RP1000 to its original factory settings. This procedure erases all custom  
User presets, and recalibrates the Expression Pedal.  
ATTENTION: Performing this function will erase all user-programmed data. All  
such data will be lost forever! Be sure you want to erase the memory and start  
fresh before continuing with this procedure.  
The procedure for performing a Factory Reset is as follows:  
1. Press and hold the Store button while powering up the RP1000.  
2. When the display prompts you with FaCt rst, release the Store button, which is now  
flashing.  
3. Press and hold the flashing Store button for 3 seconds until restOreDappears in the  
display and release. The Restore procedure takes several seconds to complete; during the  
procedure, the display will count up. After the Restore procedure is complete, the Expres-  
sion Pedal calibration procedure will begin.  
Expression Pedal Calibration  
The Expression Pedal on the RP1000 needs to be recalibrated for use after you do a factory  
reset.This calibration procedure automatically starts after the factory reset procedure is com-  
pleted. (You can also start the calibration procedure by pressing and holding the currently active  
preset’s footswitch for about 5 seconds.) If the pedal’s calibration fails, or if the pedal does not  
function properly, it can be re-calibrated using the calibration procedure.This will not erase the  
User presets.The procedure for calibrating the expression pedal is as follows:  
1. Press and hold the currently active preset’s footswitch until peDL CaLappears in the  
display (bypass, tuner, and eXItwill be displayed before peDL CaLis accessed, after  
about 5 seconds.)

3. When the Display prompts you with tOe up,rock the Expression Pedal back (toe up)  
and press Footswitch 5.  
4. The Display now prompts you to calibrate theV-Switch sensitivity (VsWitchxxx), where  
XXXis the currentV-Switch threshold. Rock the Expression Pedal forward and press  
firmly on the toe once to turn theV-Switch on (WaH On), and again to turn theV-Switch off  
(WaH OFF).  
5. If theV-Switch is too sensitive, press the Up Footswitch to raise the threshold (range is  
0-199).The Down Footswitch decreases sensitivity. Keep testing theV-Switch sensitivity  
and adjust the threshold until it only engages when you want it to (too sensitive a setting  
will lead to theV-Switch falsely triggering on or off when using the Expression Pedal).  
6. When theV-Switch sensitivity is set to your satisfaction, press Footswitch 5 to exit.  
Note: If the Display shows errOr, an error has occurred and steps 2 through 5 should be  
repeated.  
Preset Level  
Each of the presets in the RP1000 can have a specified programmed level. To change the level of  
a preset, follow these steps:  
1. From the preset name display, press the Edit Down button once. TheWah row will be lit.  
2. Turn Knob 6 to change the Preset Level parameter.  
3. Store these changes to the preset using the Store procedure if these changes are to be  
recalled later.  
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.  
1. Press the currently active preset’s footswitch. The display will read bypassand unpro-  
cessed guitar signal will be heard on all outputs.  
2. Press any footswitch again to exit bypass and return to the last state (edited or unedited)  
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.

Tuner  
The RP1000 features a built-in chromatic tuner with variable tuning references (427-453,A=Ab,  
A=G,A=Gb). To use the tuner, follow these steps:  
1. Press and hold the currently active preset’s footswitch to access theTuner for 2 seconds.  
The display briefly flashes tuner.  
2. To begin tuning, play a note on your guitar (a harmonic at the 12th fret usually works best).  
3. The numeric display shows the note being played, and the alpha-numeric display indicates  
whether the note is sharp or flat.Arrows to the left (<<<) indicate the note is sharp and  
should be tuned down.Arrows to the right (>>>) indicate the note is flat and should be  
tuned up.When your note is in tune, -><-is displayed.  
4. To exit theTuner, press any numbered footswitch.  
While the tuner is selected, you can set your tuning reference with Knob 1.The default fac-  
tory setting is A=440 Hz.The tuning references range from 427 Hz to 453 Hz ( 50 cents (1/2  
semitone) from either direction of 440 Hz). Below 427 Hz, are alternate dropped tunings.The  
alternate tunings are REF A(A=Ab), REF G(A=G), and REF G(A=Gb).The display window briefly  
flashes the selected tuning preference.  
USB Setup  
The RP1000 features a USB jack which connects it to a computer. The USB jack serves two pur-  
poses: Streaming audio to and from a computer recording software application, and as a connec-  
tion for use with the X-Edit editor librarian software (downloadable from www.digitech.com).  
Note: PC users must download and install the ASIO driver to use the included Cubase® LE4  
recording software.  
There are two parameters in the effects matrix for adjusting USB parameters; USB Record Level  
and USB Playback Mix  
USB Record Level This option provides a digital level control for boosting or cutting the level  
sent to your recording application. Range is -12dB to +24dB.  
USB Playback Mix This option controls the playback mix between RP1000 processing and USB  
playback from your computer’s recording application. The range for this control is from USB  
Mix 0% (all that is heard is the RP1000 processing, no playback) to USB = RP (both USB playback

35  
 
and RP1000 have equal levels) to RP Mix 0% (all that is heard is the USB playback in the outputs,  
no RP1000 processing).  
To change the USB Setup options, follow these steps  
1. From the preset name display, press the Edit Down button once to enter Edit mode. The  
Wah row’s LED will be lit.  
2. Turn Knob 4 to adjust the USB Playback Mix.  
3. Turn Knob 5 to adjust the USB Record Level.  
Changes made to the USB parameters are saved automatically and will affect the global perfor-  
mance of the RP1000 and all of its presets. Audio recorded via USB in the RP1000 is always  
tapped off of the audio feeding the XLR outputs.

Section Five - RP1000 Effects Descriptions  
Wahs  
Wah is an effect controlled by an Expression Pedal making the guitar sound as if it’s saying  
“Wah.”  
DigiTech® Wah  
DigiTech’s Full rangeWah sweeps the entire spectrum of audible frequencies giving you the most  
range of tone from the wah pedal.  
Dunlop® CrybabyWah:  
ThisWah pedal is the more “traditional” soundingWah pedal that you will have heard in the 60’s  
to the 80’s guitar solos.ThisWah sweeps the lower to mid range of the audible spectrum.  
Vox® Clyde McCoyWah  
ThisWah pedal was the “original” and was designed to try to emulate the sound of a muted  
trumpet. Clyde McCoy was a trumpet player that had askedVox for a device that could make an  
instrument sound like his muted trumpet.ThisWah has a “thinner” tone and sweeps more of the  
upper end of the audible spectrum.  
Compressors  
A Compressor is used to increase sustain, tighten up guitars, and prevent the signal from clipping  
the input of other effects. It sets a maximum boundary for the strength of a signal.  
Boss® CS-2 Compressor/Sustainer  
The CS-2 compresses high-input signals while boosting low-input signals, giving you smooth and  
long sustain without degrading the quality of the original sound.  
DigiTech Compressor  
The DigiTech Compressor compresses high-input signals while boosting low-input signals, giving  
you smooth and long sustain without degrading the quality of the original sound and also allows  
you to adjust the tone of the compression.  
MXR® Dynacomp  
The MXR® Dynacomp will compress the high-input signals and boost the low-input signals  
while adding its unique voicing that has become popular with many players for leads, clean  
chicken picking, and simple boosts.  
Noise Gates  
A Noise Gate is used to control the volume of an audio signal. In its most simple form, a noise  
gate allows a signal to pass through only when it is above a set threshold.When this happens, the  
gate is ‘open’. If the signal falls below the threshold no signal is allowed to pass (or the signal is  
substantially attenuated) and the gate is ‘closed’.  
DigiTech Silencer Noise Gate  
This noise gate allows you to reduce line noise or audio signal when that signal goes below the  
set threshold. Depending on how you set the parameters (Threshold,AttackTime, Release, and  
Attenuation) you can make the audio transition cut your signal at very low noise volumes or  
high noise volumes.  
DigiTech Auto Swell Gate:  
This noise gate will also let you set the threshold of the noise floor but instead of a strict feel of  
“opening and closing” the gate, you get more of an auto volume swell effect making it a smooth-  
er transition between the open and closed positions.

EQ  
The RP1000 is equipped with a 3 band semi-parametric EQ which helps shape your tone with  
Low, Mid, and High controls.  
3 Band Semi-Parametric EQ  
By adjusting the frequency and levels of each band, you can control how much or little of the  
frequency range of 60 Hz to 8 kHz you want in your overall tone.  
Chorus Stompbox Models  
A Chorus adds a short delay to your signal.The delayed signal is modulated in and out of tune  
and then mixed back with the original signal to create a thicker sound.The RP1000 includes the  
following Chorus Effects: Boss® CE-2 Chorus, DigiTech® Dual Chorus, DigiTech Glistening Cho-  
rus, DigiTech Multi-Chorus, Electro Harmonix® Small Clone,TC Electronics Chorus, andVoodoo  
Labs Analog Chorus.  
Boss® CE-2 Chorus  
A very simple but popular Chorus pedal. Its simplistic two knob design makes it easy to use  
adjusting the Speed and Depth of the Chorus while keeping a nice warm tone.  
DigiTech Dual Chorus:  
A warm dual voice chorus that allows you to adjust the speed, depth, level,AND wave form.  
DigiTech Glistening Chorus:A more simplistic Chorus giving you a warm Chorus tone like the  
CE-2 but adding a 3rd knob allowing you to adjust the overall level as well.  
DigiTech Multi-Chorus  
DigiTech’s famous Multi-Chorus allows you to get an incredible warm Chorus tone using 16  
voices that interact with each other in Stereo Mode giving you the most incredible unique Cho-  
rus tone you can imagine.  
Electro Harmonix® Small Clone  
A very lush, watery Chorus which can be heard on hits by bands including Nirvana.This Chorus  
has a very “earthy” tone to it and definitely take your Chorus tone to a different place.  
TC Electronics® Chorus  
A Chorus pedal that was made for guitar but also used by Bass and keyboard players as well.  
Many keyboardists use it to enhance their electric piano “Rhoads” sound.The speed knob con-  
trols the speed of the chorus or flanger sweeps.The width knob controls how much frequency  
change the effect spans.The intensity controls how much of the effect is used.  
Voodoo Labs Analog Chorus  
A strikingly vocal with distinct organic tone Chorus pedal. It is capable of a wide range of  
sounds from a thick analog doubling, to an ultra-lush chorus, and even a Leslie rotating speaker.  
Flanger  
A Flanger uses the same principle as a Chorus but uses a shorter delay time and adds regenera-  
tion (or repeats) to the modulating delay.This results in an exaggerated up and down sweeping  
motion to the effect.The RP1000 includes the following Flanger Effects:  
ADA Flanger, DigiTech Flanger, DigiTech Filter Flanger, DigiTechTriggered Flanger, Electro Har-  
monix® Electric Mistress, and the MXR® Flanger.  
A/DA Flanger  
A super quiet Flanger with plenty of headroom. Made popular by its ability to get thick and juicy  
tones from using not only the standard knobs of the normal Flanger but also the Harmonic knob  
which offers the user a slightly different timbre going from even to odd harmonics.  
DigiTech Flanger  
DigiTech’s own Flanger model!This gives you the Flnager effect and allows you to control the  
standard Speed, Depth, Regeneration, and Level of the Flanger effect.

38  
 
DigiTech® Filter Flanger  
The DigiTech tone team expanded on the traditional flanger by adding a band pass filter in the  
feedback path of the effect. Because of the filter, the filter flanger’s feedback affects only a set  
amount of frequencies to generate a different flanger effect.  
DigiTechTriggered Flanger  
By setting the threshold sensitivity, you control when the Flanger starts sweeping, and by setting  
the LFO Start knob, you controlWHERE in the sweep it starts! Next you can adjust the speed  
that it sweeps and the overall level of the Flanger effect!  
Electro Harmonix® Electric Mistress  
This Flanger has a unique tone giving it a sort of Chorus/Flanger mixed tone making it not as dry  
as some of the other Flangers (but with a more pronounced sweep). Its easy to use with only 3  
knobs (Color, Range, and Rate) which also makes it a little easier to dial in your tone quicker.  
MXR® Flanger  
A big rich and organic Flanger tone made popular by such people as EddieVan Halen.The MXR®  
flanger creates a variety of wild sounds from dynamic jet plane or cool space effects to short  
delay, chorus and vibrato. Back offWidth to zero to disengage auto-sweep, then use the Manual  
knob to physically place the effect anywhere along the frequency spectrum. Manual knob selects  
frequency center of effect when auto-sweep is disengagedWidth knob at zero disengages auto-  
sweep, rotates clockwise to increase total phase sweep of effect Speed knob modulates rate of  
effect Regen knob feeds effect back onto itself at adjustable intensity, increasing the total phase  
effect.  
Phasers  
A phaser splits the incoming signal, and then changes the phasing of the signal.This signal is then  
taken in and out of phase and mixed back in with the original signal.As the phasing changes, dif-  
ferent frequencies get canceled resulting in a warm sort of twisting sound.The RP1000 includes  
the following Phaser types: DigiTech Phaser, DigiTechTriggered Phaser, Electro-Harmonix® Small  
Stone, and the MXR® Phase 100.  
DigiTech Phaser  
This Phaser will give you the standard Phaser tone and options for controlling it via the Speed,  
Depth, Regeneration, and Level settings.  
DigiTechTriggered Phaser  
Like theTriggered Chorus,You can set the threshold of the sensitivity knob to state what volume  
you would like the Phaser triggered.Then using the LFO Start knob, you can set where in the  
range of the Phaser you would like it to start from.  
Electro-Harmonix® Small Stone  
The Small Stone’s full-bodied, 3-dimensional phasing adds a special swirl to every musical style.  
Blues players dig its rapidly rotating speaker effect while Country players use it to add season-  
ing to their chicken’ pickin’. Metal-heads and Industrialists dig the Stone’s jet plane woosh. Its  
simplistic 2 knob control panel (Rate and Color) make it easier to dial in a quick Phaser tone  
that will be just right for you!  
MXR® Phase 100  
Another industry standard in Phase pedals with its own unique tones. It as well has a simplistic 2  
knob control panel (Intensity and Speed).Along with the speed control that controls the speed  
of the Phase sweep, there is the Intensity knob that selects four different intensities, defined as  
preset waveform patterns. Between the intensity and speed settings, you’ll find quite a supply of  
excellent sounds!  
Pitch  
The RP1000 comes equipped with effects to manipulate your pitch and do incredible things  
with it like harmonize both intelligently and by using standard semitones, detune, and do cool  
effects by raising and/or lowering your original notes from 2 octaves down to 2 octaves up! Pitch  
pedals it is equipped with are: Boss® OC-2 Octaver, DigiTech Detune, DigiTech Harmony Pitch,  
DigiTech Pitch Shift, and the ever popular DigiTechWhammy Pedal!!

Boss® OC-2 Octaver  
Based on the Boss® OC-2 OctaverTM, this adds two signals to your original guitar signal.The  
first is one octave below your guitar, and the second is two octaves below your guitar. Each ad-  
ditional signal has its own volume control.  
DigiTech® Detune  
A Detuner makes a copy of your incoming signal, takes the copied signal slightly out of tune from  
the original, then mixes the two signals together.The result is a doubling type of effect as if two  
guitars were playing the same part together.  
DigiTech Harmony Pitch  
Harmony Pitch Shifting makes a copy of the incoming signal, and then changes the pitch of the  
copied note to a diatonically correct interval specified by the Amount parameter.A Harmony  
Pitch Shifter sharpens or flattens the shifted pitch in order to keep the specified interval within  
the selected key and scale creating a true harmony.  
DigiTech Pitch Shift  
A Pitch Shifter copies the incoming signal, then shifts the pitch of the copy to a different note.  
The shifted note is then mixed back with the original signal, sounding as if two guitars were play-  
ing different notes.  
DigiTechWhammy™  
The DigiTechWhammy is an effect that uses an Expression Pedal to bend the pitch of the incom-  
ing signal, or add a bendable harmony with the original signal.As the Pedal is moved, the note  
bends either up or down.  
Vibrato / Rotary  
DigiTech Rotary  
The Rotary is an effect that produces the Doppler effect and volume change of a rotary speaker.  
The sound is lush and full.  
DigiTechVibrato  
TheVibrato produces volume and tone change that can be found on surf and country classics.  
DigiTechVibro / Pan  
TheVibro/Pan not only changes volume but shifts it side to side.This effect is great for stereo  
setups.  
Unicord Uni-Vibe™  
The Uni-Vibe creates a chorus type effect in tandem with a vibrato to produce a lush swirling  
effect.  
Tremolo  
DigiTech Panner  
Pans the sound from side to side.The speed controls how fast and the depth controls how much  
of the signal is panned.  
DigiTechTremolo  
TheTremolo is a volume changing effect that can be heard on surf and country classics.  
DigiTech ScatterTrem  
The ScatterTrem combines two tremolos that are “out of sync” to produce an unpredictable  
scattered tremolo sound.  
Fender® OptoTremolo™  
The sound of the Fender® OptoTremolo is as classic as their amps. Both tone shift and volume  
effects are produced to create this unique tone.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
40  
 
Vox® BiasTremolo  
Another way to achieve a tremolo effect is to alter the bias of the poweramp tubes.ThisVox®  
BiasTremolo produces the volume and tone effects to create a tone heard on many famous Brit-  
ish tunes.  
Envelope / Special  
DigiTech® Envelope Filter  
An envelope filter is also called a “auto-wah” for its wah effect.The amount of wah is dependent  
of the output volume of your guitar – he harder you play, the more wah you get.A definite B-  
Movie soundtrack tone.  
DigiTech AutoYah™  
If a wah, why not an effect that says “yah” when you use it?This is another take on the vowel  
based effects but it is controlled the same way that the envelope filter is controlled.  
DigiTech Sample & Hold  
Using a changing filter, the Sample and Hold produces skipping tones  
that can be heard in experimental and alternative music. Best used with distortion in front of the  
effect.  
DigiTech Step Filter  
The Step Filter changes frequency in related patterns much like a sample and hold effect.  
DigiTech SynthTalk™  
Another DigiTech first, the SynthTalk™ makes your guitar sound like it’s talking due to vowel  
like qualities.  
DigiTechYaYa™  
A descendent of a wah, theYaYa™ is a more complex circuit that produces a “ya” sound.  
DOD® FX25 Envelope Filter  
The DOD® FX25 is an classic analog envelope filter that can be found on many funk and alter-  
native tracks. Used by both guitar and bass players.Try this one clean for a really funky sound.  
Delays  
Analog Delay  
The analog delay produces delays that were derived from ”BBD” analog delay chips.The BBD  
chips were the first ways to produce delay aside from the costly tape delays.The delay sound  
was not HiFi but was reminiscent of the original signal and quickly became a cornerstone to  
modern guitar sounds due to their warm qualities.  
Boss® DM2 Analog Delay:  
The DM2 is a classic and standard BBD analog delay that used 4,096 stages of delay.The frequen-  
cy response and noise depended upon the delay time.The signal derogates with every repeat so  
as the repeats are turned up, the signal becomes less and less recognizable and actually becomes  
more of an “effect” than a delay.  
Digital Delay  
A digital delay can be called a perfect representation of your guitar’s signal. Desired for their bril-  
liant qualities, digital delays have virtually no noise and a full frequency response.  
Lo Fi Delay:The Lo Fi delay is an analog delay with a severely limited frequency response to  
produce an even grungier delay effect.  
Maestro EP-2Tube Echoplex  
The Echoplex is the standard to which all analog delays are judged.The Echoplex was the first  
widely used tape delay and had a tone all of it’s own.The Echoplex can be heard on many rocka-  
billy, surf, country and rock tracks.

Modulated Delay  
A modulated delay is a digital delay with chorus added to the delays to produce a wider sound-  
ing stereo delay.  
Pong Delay  
A pong delay’s repeats jump from side to side and requires a stereo setup.  
Reverse Delay:The Reverse Delay senses the guitar’s input signal and plays the delayed guitar  
backwards once it is sampled. Reverse delay used to be a studio trick, now with modern tech-  
nology it exists in a stompbox!  
Tape Delay  
The tape delay effect produces a warm tone by limiting the frequency response and adding the  
distortion that exists in a tape delay.  
2-Tap Delay  
While most delays are derived from a signal delay with one end tap, the 2-Tap Delay uses a single  
delay line but with two endpoints that are spaced about at different ratios. Use this effect to add  
more of a rhythmic quality to your delays.  
Reverbs  
EMT® 240 Plate Reverb  
The EMT Plate Reverb is the reverence reverb to which all studio reverbs are compared to.  
Using a large sheet of metal, one end of the “plate” was excited by a transducer and the sound  
would then travel through the plate to the other side where the delayed tone was received.The  
frequency response and dynamics of the signal would change when traveling through the plate  
creating a reverb effect.  
Lexicon® Ambience  
The Lexicon Ambience reverb is full, bright and produces ambience around or behind your guitar  
signal.  
Lexicon Hall  
The largest of the Lexicon reverbs, the Hall produces lush reverbs with a swirling decay unlike  
any other reverbs today.  
Lexicon Room  
A great effect to produce a small room, the Lexicon Room produces that reverb found in many  
isolation rooms in recording studios today.  
Lexicon Studio  
Larger than the Room reverb, the Studio Reverb is the Lexicon studio standard reverb algorithm.  
Spring based on a Fender®Twin Reverb™  
The tone and reaction of the spring reverb is captured! Surf’s up, the best setting is at maximum  
- Cowabunga.  
Distortions  
Distortion and overdrive pedals were designed to give your guitar tone gain before it reaches  
your amp. Many heavily distorted pedals such as the DigiTech Grunge™ were designed to pro-  
vide most or all of the gain and run through a cleaner amp. Overdrives are great for boosting the  
gain of your guitar sound and driving an already distorted amp giving your total tone, more gain  
and a heavier feel. Overdrives on their own and ran into clean amps provide a bluesy tone.  
Arbiter® Fuzz Face™
