With stomp boxes, the order in which they are connected can drastically affect the overall sound quality. The RP200 Artist has placed the Effects in an order for optimum sound quality. The following diagram shows the order of the effects contained in the RP200 Artist. Effect Definitions Each Effect within the RP200 Artist can be programmed to suit your personal tastes and application. Understanding how these Effects will alter the sound, and how each Parameter will alter the Effect will help you achieve the sound you are looking for. The following overview of the RP200 Artist's Effects outlines what each Effect and Parameter does. 15 Pickup/Wah 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.
