Page 8: About The Rp150
Tuner Mode The Tuner in the RP150 allows you to quickly tune or check the tuning on your guitar. Enter Tuner mode by pressing and holding both Footswitches simultaneously. The Display briefly shows tu indicating that you are in Tuner mode. To begin tuning, play a note on your guitar (a harmonic at the 12th fret usually works best). - Page 9 Display shows note played Top LEDs indicate note is sharp Green LED indicates note is in tune Bottom LEDs indicate note is flat In Tuner mode, you can change your tuning reference. The default factory setting is A=440 Hz (displayed as 40). Rotating Knob 1 selects alternate and dropped tunings. Alternate tunings are A=453Hz to A=427 Hz (displayed as 53 to 27).

Page 18: Getting Started
There are several different connection options available with the RP150. Before connecting the RP150, make sure that the power to your amplifier and the RP150 is turned off. There is no power switch on the RP150. To turn the RP150 on or off, connect or disconnect the included PS0913B power supply from the Power Input jack. -
Page 19: Stereo Operation
Stereo Operation For stereo operation connect the guitar to the Input of the RP150. Connect one cable to the RP150’s Left (Mono) output, and another cable to the RP150’s Right output. Connect one cable to the input of one amplifier, channel of a mixer, or power amp. Connect the second cable to a second amplifier, second channel of a mixer, or power amp. - Page 20 Stereo Mixer Setup Outputs Instrument Input Mixer Aux 1 Aux 1 Aux 1 Aux 1 Aux 1 Aux 1 Aux 1 Aux 1 Aux 2 Aux 2 Aux 2 Aux 2 Aux 2 Aux 2 Aux 2 Aux 2 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1...

Page 22: Section Two - Editing Functions
Section Two - Editing Functions Editing/Creating Presets The RP150 is designed to make preset editing and creation easy and intuitive. When creating your own sound, you must first start with an existing preset. Note that the preset you begin with doesn’t have to be in the memory location you intend to have it reside, since you can store it to any User preset location during the store procedure. - Page 23 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 edits made and the RP150 will revert to the stored values for the preset.

Page 24: Storing/Copying A Preset
Storing/Copying a Preset Once the preset has been modified to your liking, you may store your settings to any of the 50 User preset locations (presets 1-50). The following steps outline the procedure for storing changes to a preset or copying a preset to a different location: 1. -
Page 25: Section Three - Models And Parameters
With stompboxes, the order in which they are connected affects the overall sound. The RP150 has placed the Amp and Effect models in an order for optimum results. The following diagram shows the order in which they are connected. -
Page 26: Model Definitions
Model Definitions Each Amp and Effect model within the RP150 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 achieve the sound you are looking for. The following overview of the RP150’s effects outlines what each effect and parameter does. -

Page 32: Noise Gate
The RP150’s EQ helps further shape your tone with Bass, Midrange, and Treble controls. To help get you started, there are four preset EQ curves: Mid Boost (MB), Scoop (SP), Bright (BR), and Warm (WM) that can be selected using Knob 1. Bass, Midrange, and Treble parameters range from -12dB to +12dB. -
Page 33: Chorus/Fx
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 RP150 includes the fol- lowing Chorus Effect models: CE (based on the classic Boss CE-2 Chorus), DC (DigiTech ’s Dual... -
Page 34: Flanger
A Flanger uses the same principle as a Chorus but uses a shorter delay time and adds regeneration (or repeats) to the modulating delay. This results in an exaggerated up and down sweeping motion to the effect. The RP150 includes the following Flanger Effect models: fL (the DigiTech Flanger), and mx (based on an MXR Flanger). -
Page 35: Tremolo
Tremolo (tR) A Tremolo effect modulates the volume of the signal at an even rate. Speed - Knob 2 adjusts the rate (Speed) at which the volume modulates. Ranges from 0 to Depth - Knob 3 adjusts the intensity (Depth) of the modulating volume. Ranges from 0 to Waveform - Knob 4 selects a waveform: tr, Si, or Sq (Triangle, Sine, or Square). -
Page 36: Rotary Speaker
Rotary Speaker (RO) Rotary Speaker is an emulation of a device that included a spinning horn and woofer. The rotation of these two speakers produced an interesting combination of the sound panning from side to side. This produced a slight pitch change due to the speed of the sound coming towards, and then going away from the listener. -
Page 37: Step Filter
Range - Knob 3 controls the range of the Envelope effect. Ranges from 0 to 99. Step Filter (sf) The Step Filter is like an automatic “random wah” with a square waveform. Speed - Knob 2 adjusts the speed of the Wah effect. Ranges from 0 to 99. Intensity - Knob 3 controls the intensity of the Wah effect. -
Page 38: Intelligent Pitch Shifting
Intelligent Pitch Shifting (HA) Intelligent 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. An Intelligent 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. -
Page 39: Digitech Whammy
As the Pedal is moved, the note bends either up or down. When DigiTech Whammy is selected, it is automatically placed before the Amp modeling as shown in the block diagram on page 19. -

Page 41: Reverb
Using reverb in recorded program material gives the listener a sense that the material is being per- formed in an actual room or hall. It is this similarity to actual acoustic spaces that makes reverber- ation a useful tool in recorded music. The RP150 features genuine Lexicon reverbs, whose rich, ®... -
