About the RP355

Stompbox Footswitch Mode

The RP355 includes a very convenient Stompbox Footswitch mode, where the Up, Down, and

Amp A-B footswitches function as on/off switches for the Distortion, Chorus/FX and Delay effects. To enable Stompbox Footswitch mode, follow these steps:

From the preset display, press the UP and AMP A-B footswitches simultaneously. The display will read STOMP briefly indicating Stompbox footswitch mode has been enabled. The DOWN, UP, and AMP A-B footswitches will now turn Distortion, Chorus/FX, and Delay effects respectively on and off in the current preset. Note: While Stompbox footswitch mode is active, you cannot navigate through the RP355’s presets, nor can you change the Amp A/B channels in the current preset.

To exit Stompbox footswitch mode and return to Preset footswitch mode, press the UP and

AMP A-B footswitches simultaneously again. The display will read PRESET briefly indicating

Preset footswitch mode is now active again.

Performance Mode

When you first apply power to the RP355, it powers up in Performance mode. Performance mode provides access to all of the presets within the RP355 via the Up and Down Foot-

switches. The Amp A/B Footswitch toggles between two amp channels for the selected preset. Knob 1 selects a tone from the Tone Library, Knob 2 selects an effects chain from the

Effects Library, Knob 3 adjusts the Effects Level, and Knob 4 adjusts the Amp Gain, Knob 5 adjusts the Amp Level, and Knob 6 adjusts the Master Level (volume).

1

Bypass Mode

The RP355 presets can be bypassed via a true analog bypass circuit for a clean, unprocessed guitar signal. To bypass the RP355, press the Up and Down Footswitches simultaneously. The

Display reads Bypass indicating the preset is bypassed. Press any footswitch to exit Bypass and return the RP355 to the last preset used.

Tuner Mode

The Tuner in the RP355 allows you to quickly tune or check the tuning on your guitar. Enter

Tuner mode by pressing and holding the Up and Down Footswitches simultaneously for 2 seconds. The Display briefly shows tuner 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). The Display shows the note being played. The Matrix LEDs indicate whether you are sharp or flat. The top 5 red LEDs indicate the note is sharp and should be tuned down. The bottom 5 red LEDs indicate the note is flat and should be tuned up. The center green LED indicates the note is in tune. The output is muted in Tuner mode. The Expression Pedal controls the guitar volume while tuning.

Exit tuner mode by pressing any Footswitch.

In Tuner mode, you can change your tuning reference. The default factory setting is A=440 Hz

Alternate tunings are A = A

, A = G, A = G

 , and tuning references A=427 - A=453. The display window briefly flashes the current tuning reference.

AMP GAIN

Tone Library (Knob 1)

In Performance mode, this knob selects a variety of genre-based amp tone defaults ranging from Blues to Metal to Country. Behind the scenes, the Compressor, Distortion, Amp/Cabinet model, EQ, and Noise Gate are configured to create a specified tone with a single click of this knob. You can further refine the sound by editing the preset (see Editing/Creating Presets on page

11). Changing between different Tone Library defaults does not change the Chorus/FX, Delay or Reverb, letting you experiment with different amp styles quickly in the context of the current effect chain.

Effects Library (Knob 2)

In Performance mode, this knob selects a variety of post-amplifier model effect chains (Chorus,

Chorus + Delay, Delay + Reverb, etc.). You can further refine the sound by editing the preset

(see Editing/Creating Presets on page 11). Changing between different Effects Library defaults does not change the Compressor, Distortion, Amp/Cabinet model, EQ, and Noise Gate settings, letting you experiment with different effect chains quickly in the context of the current amp tone.

Effects Level (Knob 3)

In Performance mode, this knob changes the relative level of the post-amp effects (Chorus/FX,

Delay, and Reverb). This can be thought of as an effects mix control, where turning this knob clockwise increases the level of these effects and turning it counter-clockwise decreases the level of these effects.

Amp Gain (Knob 4)

This knob adjusts the Gain (distortion) for the selected Amp model (not available for Acoustic).

Amp Level (Knob 5)

This knob adjusts the Level (volume) of the selected Amp model.

Master Level (Knob 6)

This knob controls the overall output volume of all of the RP355’s presets.

Editor/Librarian

You can edit your RP355 with your computer, using the X-Edit TM Editor/Librarian. Download

X-Edit TM , USB drivers, and documentation from www.digitech.com.

Presets

Presets are named and numbered locations of programmed sounds which reside in the RP355.

Presets are recalled with the Footswitches. The active effects in each preset are indicated by lighted LEDs in the Effect Matrix. The RP355 comes with 70 User presets (1-70) and 70 Factory presets (F1-F70). 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 70 User presets are exact duplicates of the 70 Factory presets. This allows you to create your own presets without losing the sounds that came with the RP355.

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 would be 0 or 5 on the tone controls). Then follow the steps listed below.

1. Turn the amp volume all the way down.

2. Connect the plug of the PS0913B power supply to the power jack on the rear panel of the

RP355.

3. Connect the other end of the PS0913B power supply to an AC outlet. Turn the RP355’s Mas-

ter Level knob (Knob 6) down to “0”.

4. Turn the power of your amplifier(s) to the on position and adjust the volume(s) to a normal playing level.

5. Gradually increase the RP355’s Master Level knob to achieve the desired volume.

2. Connect PS0913B to power jack

4. Turn amp volume up

Section Two - Editing Functions

Editing/Creating Presets

The RP355 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 33) based on different musical styles. The Effects Library knob will then let you select from a palette of effects chains (see page 33), from simple delays to full multi-effect signals with modulation, delay and reverb. Use the Effects Level Knob to increase or decrease the overall

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.

EXPRESSION

1. Select a tone with the

Tone Library knob

2. Select an effect or effects chain with the

Effects Library knob

3. Adjust the effects level with the

Effects Level knob

To edit and create a preset:

1. Use the Up and Down 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 effects’ parameter settings.

7. When editing the Amp Model and EQ rows, use the Amp A/B Footswitch to select between the two amp channels. You can then edit each channel’s Amp Model, Cabinet Model,

Amp Gain, Amp Level, and EQ settings independently.

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 RP355 will revert to the stored values for the preset.

11

Storing/Copying/Naming a Preset

Once the preset has been modified to your liking, you may store your settings to any of the

70 User preset locations (presets 1-70). The following steps outline the procedure for storing changes to a preset or copying 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 character location.

EXPRESSION

1. Press Store;

characters in Display

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.

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.

Section Three - Models and Parameters

About the Models

The RP355 can be thought of as several different “virtual” amplifiers and individual, high-tech stompboxes in a single programmable package. With stompboxes, the order in which they are connected affects the overall sound. The RP355 has placed the Amp and Effect models in an order for optimum results. The following diagram shows the order in which they are connected.

Model Definitions

Each Amp and Effect model within the RP355 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 RP355’s effects outlines what each effect and parameter does.

Pickup

The Pickup Simulator provides the thick tone of a humbucker pickup to a guitar with single coil pickups, or the bright, edgy sound of a single coil pickup to a guitar with a humbucker. This gives you the best of both worlds without having to change guitars during a performance.

Pickup Model - Knob 1 selects the Pickup model to be simulated. Values include:

SC>Hb (gives a single coil pickup the warm tone of a humbucker), and Hb>SC (gives a humbucker the unique sound of a single coil). Press this knob to turn Pickup modeling on and off.

USB/RP Mix (When connected to a computer via USB) - Knob 2 adjusts the output mix between the RP355 and playback from the computer. Ranges from uSB 0 - uSB rP - rP 0.

USB Level (When connected to computer via USB) - Knob 3 adjusts the RP355’s recording level sent to the computer. Ranges from -12 to +24.

Preset Level - Knob 6 adjusts the preset’s level. Ranges from 0 to 99.

Wah

Wah is an effect controlled by an Expression Pedal making the guitar sound as if it’s saying

“Wah.”

Wah Model - Knob 1 selects the Wah model. Values include: FuLrnG (DigiTech ® Full

Range Wah sweeps the entire spectrum of audible frequencies), CrYwah (Cry Wah is a traditional sounding Wah), and clyde(based on a Vox knob to turn Wah models on and off.

® Clyde McCoy TM Wah). Press this

Wah Minimum - Knob 2 adjusts the Wah Pedal Minimum. Ranges from 0 (toe up) to

99 (toe down).

Wah Maximum - Knob 3 adjusts the Wah Pedal Maximum. Ranges from 0 (toe up) to

99 (toe down).

Wah Level - Knob 6 adjusts the Wah Level. Ranges from 0dB to +12dB.

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, different frequencies get canceled resulting in a warm sort of twisting sound. The RP355 includes the following Phaser models: phaser (the DigiTech Phaser), tphase (the DigiTech Triggered

Phaser), mxphas (based on an MXR Phase 100), and ehphas (based on an Electro-Harmonix

Small Stone).

Vibrato (viBrat)

The DigiTech Vibrato effect modulates the pitch of the incoming signal at an even rate.

Pre/Post Amp - Knob 2 determines where the effect appears in the effects chain. Turn counter-clockwise for Pre (appears before the Distortion effect), or clockwise for Post

(appears after the Noise Gate effect).

Speed - Knob 3 adjusts the rate (Speed) at which the pitch modulates. Ranges from 0 to

99.

Depth - Knob 4 adjusts the intensity (Depth) of the modulating pitch. Ranges from 0 to

Rotary Speaker (rOtArY)

The Rotary Speaker emulates 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.

Pre/Post Amp - Knob 2 determines where the effect appears in the effects chain. Turn counter-clockwise for Pre (appears before the Distortion effect), or clockwise for Post

(appears after the Noise Gate effect).

Speed - Knob 3 adjusts the rate (Speed) of the spinning speakers. Ranges from 0 to 99.

Intensity - Knob 4 controls the intensity of the effect. Ranges from 0 to 99.

Doppler - Knob 5 controls the Pitch Shift effect that is the ratio between the horn and the rotor positions. Ranges from 0 to 99.

Crossover - Knob 6 selects the crossover frequency between the horn and rotor.

Ranges from 0 (200 Hz) to 99 (1600 Hz).

VibroPan (vibpan)

A vibrato is an effect that modulates the pitch of the incoming signal. This will take the whole signal slightly in and out of tune at a steady pace. The DigiTech ® VibroPan also incorporates an automatic panner with the vibrato effect that creates a lush chorus-like sound.

Pre/Post Amp - Knob 2 determines where the effect appears in the effects chain. Turn counter-clockwise for Pre (appears before the Distortion effect), or clockwise for Post

(appears after the Noise Gate effect).

Speed - Knob 3 adjusts how fast the signal is being modulated.

Depth - Knob 4 adjusts the amount of pitch change.

Vibrato/Pan- Knob 5 adjusts the amount of panning incorporated with the vibrato effect.

When set at 0, this effect is a standard vibrato. As the parameter is turned up, the phase difference of the vibrato signal sent to the two channels is changed until a full stereo image is obtained at 99.

Waveform - Knob 6 selects a waveform: triang, Sine, or Square.

Expression Pedal

The Expression Pedal on the RP355 can be linked to control the RP355’s Volume, Wah, Whammy™, YaYa™, or almost any of the RP355’s other parameters in real time with your foot. When a parameter has been linked to the Expression Pedal, a minimum (heel) and maximum (toe) value can also be specified. Apply extra pressure to the toe of the Expression Pedal to activate the V-switch, and the Expression Pedal switches between the linked parameter and the Wah. The procedure for linking a parameter to the Expression Pedal is as follows:

1. Press either Edit button until the Expression row has been selected (indicated by the LED lighting on the Expression row).

2. Rotate Knob 1 until eXPPDL appears in the Display.

3. Rotate Knob 2 until the desired parameter to be linked appears in the Display. See page 32 for a complete list of parameters that can be linked to the Expression Pedal.

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 12 for more information on the storing procedure.

LFOs

The RP355 includes two assignable low frequency oscillators (LFO 1 and LFO 2) which can be assigned to any of the same parameters available for assignment to the Expression

Pedal. A low frequency oscillator will automatically vary the value of the assigned parameter at a steady rate. A minimum and maximum value each LFO will reach may be also be assigned.

For instance, if the Amp Gain was assigned to LFO 1, and the minimum value was set at 1 and the maximum value was set at 99, the RP355 would automatically sweep the amount of distortion from a clean sound to a distorted sound. Individual LFO speeds are also available for assignment. In the previous example, the LFO speed would determine the length of time it took the LFO to sweep from the clean to the distorted sound. The procedure for assigning the

LFOs in the RP355 is as follows:

1. Press the Edit button until the Expression row has been selected (indicated by the LED lighting on the Expression row).

2. Rotate Knob 1 to select one of the two LFO links, LFO 1 (LFO1) or LFO 2 (LFO2).

3. Rotate Knob 2 to select the parameter you want linked to the LFO 1 or LFO 2. See page 32 for a list of assignable parameters.

4. Rotate Knob 5 to select which waveform you want the LFO to use, Triangle (trIanG), Sine

(SIne), or Square (SQuAre).

5. Rotate Knob 6 to select the speed you want the parameter to be controlled at.

Factory Reset

This function resets the RP355 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 RP355.

2. When the display prompts you with FACrSt, release the Store button, which is now flashing.

3. Press and hold the flashing Store button for 3 seconds until rStOrD appears 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 Expression Pedal calibration procedure will begin. See step two of the Expression Pedal Calibration section below.

Expression Pedal Calibration

The Expression Pedal on the RP355 needs to be recalibrated for use after a factory reset has been performed. This calibration procedure is automatically entered after a factory reset procedure. (You can also initiate the calibration procedure by pressing and holding the Up and Down

Footswitches for approximately 5 seconds.) In the event the Pedal’s calibration fails, or if the

Pedal does not function properly, it can be re-calibrated using the Pedal Calibration procedure.

This will not erase the User presets. The procedure for Calibrating the Expression Pedal is as follows:

1. Press and hold the Up/Down Footswitches until PDLCAL appears in the display (BYPASS, tuner, and exit will be displayed before PDLCAL is accessed, after about 5 seconds.)

2. When the Display prompts you with tOe Dn, rock the Expression Pedal forward (toe down) and press either the Up or Down Footswitch.

3. When the Display prompts you with tOe uP, rock the Expression Pedal back (toe up) and press either the Up or Down Footswitch.

4. The Display now prompts you to calibrate the V-Switch sensitivity (VSwxxx), where XXX is the current V-Switch threshold. Rock the Expression Pedal forward and press firmly on the toe once to turn the V-Switch on (wah On), and again to turn the V-Switch off (wahOFF).

5. If the V-Switch is too sensitive, press the right Up Footswitch to raise the threshold (range is 0-200). Keep testing the V-Switch sensitivity and adjust the threshold until it only engages when you want it to (too sensitive a setting will lead to the V-Switch falsely triggering on or off when using the Expression Pedal).

6. When the V-Switch sensitivity is set to your satisfaction, press both Up/Down Footswitches simultaneously to exit.

Note: If the Display shows errOr, an error has occurred and steps 2 through 5 should be repeated.
