Connect the plug of the PS0913B power supply to the power jack on the rear panel of the RP155. Turn the RP155's Master Level knob (Knob 4) down to "0". Turn the power of your amplifier(s) to the on position and adjust the volume(s) to a normal playing level. Gradually increase the RP155's Master Level knob to achieve the desired volume. 2. Connect PS0913B to AC outlet and turn the RP155's Master Level to "0" 5. Turn the RP155's Master Level to the desired listening volume 1. Turn amp volume down 15 Section Two - Editing Functions Editing/Creating Presets The RP155 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. The easiest way to start is by using the Tone Library and Effects Library knobs. The Tone Library knob will let you select from a variety of pre-programmed amp/distortion tones (see page 41) based on different musical styles. The Effects Library knob will then let you select from a palette of effects chains (see page 42), from simple delays to full multi-effect signals with modulation, delay and reverb. Use the Effects Level Knob to easily increase or decrease the Chorus/FX, Delay and Reverb levels if desired. Using these three controls should get you close to a sound you are after. From there you can then use the Edit buttons to navigate through the individual effects for some fine tune edits. 16 To edit and create a custom preset: 1. 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. Once you have a sound close to what you are after, begin editing the effect parameters by pressing the Edit Up/Down buttons and selecting the Effect row you want to edit. [. . . ] The display will briefly read PL and the recorded phrase will now begin playing back. To add an overdub to the looped phrase, press and hold the left Down Footswitch. While pressing down the Down Footswitch, begin playing the overdub phrase to be added to the loop. When the Down Footswitch is released, the display will briefly flash PL and the looped phrase will continue with the newly added overdub phrase added. [. . . ]
