Other Pedalboard Tidbits

Here are a few other features that you will want to learn about to get the most out the footswitches on the RP-20 Valve.
Bank Up/ Tuner and Bank Down / Bypass Footswitches
These two foot switches are located at top right side of the RP-20 Valve. The Bank Up/Tuner footswitch, as you may have guessed, will move to
the next Bank Up in the RP-20 Valve, as well as access the Tuner Mode by simply pressing and holding the footswitch until the Tuner appears in
the display.
To access the next bank down press the Bank Down footswitch once. To bypass the Digital effects in the RP-20 Valve, press and hold the
footswitch until the LEDs indicate that the unit is now in effect bypass mode.

Using the Tuner

1.To access the Tuner mode using the footswitch of the RP-20 Valve, press and hold the <Bank Up/Tuner> footswitch to engage tuner
mode.
2. As you play a note on the guitar, the indicator in the display of the RP-20 Valve will move either to the right, or the left. If the indicator is
moving right, the note you are playing is sharp. If the indicator moves left, you are flat. The goal is to tune your guitar so that the indicator
stops in the middle and the display locks-in, indicating you are in tune.
3. In both methods of tuning, the tuner is referenced to A=440Hz. If you prefer tuning sharp or flat according to the A reference, press the
<3> button and then turn the <Data> wheel to select a new reference. This can be set as high as A=453Hz or as low as A=427Hz. The
tuner can also be used for alternate tuning references where A=Ab (meaning you play an A note, but you hear an Ab note). It is possible
to tune as low as A=Gb.
4. At this point, press any footswitch on the RP-20 Valve to exit the Tuner mode.

Naming Banks

Straight out of the box, the RP-20 Valve has 19 user banks to choose from. Each of the Banks have been given a specific named to give
indication to what type of programs exist with the bank. In your constant editing mode to make the box custom to your needs, we have given
you the ability to rename the banks. The procedure is as follows (and please don't worry, we won't be hurt):
1. From Program mode press the <Utility> button and the display will appear something like this:
2. Now press either the <Next Page> or <Previous Page> buttons until you reach page 13 and appears like this:
