Reverb

Using reverb in recorded program material gives the listener a sense that the material is being performed in an actual room or hall. It is this similarity to actual acoustic spaces that makes reverberation a useful tool in recorded music. The RP255 features genuine Lexicon ® reverbs, whose rich, lush effects have been heard in countless songs, soundtracks, and live performances for decades.

Phrase Looper

The RP255 features a built-in 20 second Phrase Looper for creating on the fly performance loops of the music you play. The Phrase Looper can be accessed any time during performance and used with any of the RP’s presets.

To use the Phrase Looper, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the left Down Footswitch for 2 seconds until LOOPer appears in the display. The Looper LED will also light in the matrix indicating the Looper is active.

2. Arm the Phrase Looper to record by pressing the Down Footswitch again. The display will read ArMeD meaning it is ready for you to start playing (You can also start recording immediately when this footswitch is pressed).

3. Begin playing a phrase on the guitar. The Phrase Looper will begin recording anything that is played. The display will read reCorD.

4. Once you are ready to set the loop point, press any footswitch. The display will briefly read

PLAY and the recorded phrase will now begin playing back.

5. To add an overdub to the looped phrase, press and hold the left Down Footswitch. The display will read OVrDuB. While holding the footswitch, begin playing the overdub phrase to be added to the loop. When the Down Footswitch is released, the display will briefly flash

PLAY and the looped phrase will continue with the newly added overdub phrase added.

6. To stop the Phrase Looper, press and release the left Down Footswitch quickly. You can resume playback by pressing this footswitch again.

7. To clear a recorded loop, stop the loop playback first as outlined in step 6 and then press and hold left Down Footswitch for 2 seconds until the display read CLeArD.
