From the factory, the 40 User Presets are exact duplicates of the 40 Factory Presets. This lets you make your own presets without the worry of losing any Factory Presets. 9 Tuner The Tuner in the RP80 lets you quickly tune or check the tuning of your guitar. Enter the Tuner by pressing and holding both Footswitches simultaneously. To begin tuning, play a note on your guitar (the neck pickup usually works best). The right 6 red LEDs indicate the note is sharp and should be tuned down. Changing presets, or turning the power off before storing any changes will erase any changes made and revert to the stored values for the preset. 12 Storing/Copying a Preset Once the preset has been modified, you may store your settings to one of the 40 User Preset locations (Presets 1-40). The following steps outline how to store changes to a preset or copy a preset to a different location: 1. Use the footswitches to select the preset location you want to store your changes to. 1. 3 Press the STORE button again to save the changes. 13 Effect Definitions The RP80 can be thought of as several different "virtual" amplifiers, and individual hi-tech effects. Each effect within the RP80 can be programmed to suit your personal application. Understanding how these effects alter the sound helps you achieve the sound you are looking for. The following overview of the RP80's effects outlines what each effect does. Pickup Sim / Wah Compressor Amp Modeling Cabinet Modeling EQ Noise Gate Chorus / Mod Delay Reverb Preset Level Controls the individual level for each preset. Because this setting is individual to each preset, you may adjust the volume when using louder or softer amp models. Pickup/Wah The Pickup Simulator gives the thick tone of a humbucker pickup from a guitar with single coil pickups, or the bright edgy sound of a single coil pickup from a guitar with a humbucker. Wah is an effect controlled by an expression pedal making the guitar sound as if it's saying "Wah. " 14 Pickup/Wah Type - The Value buttons select the Pick Up or Wah type that is simulated.
