Getting Sounds
It never fails, there always seems to be a sound man at the back of the room, or an engineer in the control room that wants “more of this, or
less of that” (bottom line: your ear is king). But, to accommodate these situations, you may need to make some minor adjusting here and
there along the way. So here are some helpful guidelines for getting great sounds, while keeping everyone happy.
Input and Output Adjustments
The best setting for the input control is to use the
<Input level>
knob so you’re occasionally lighting the clip LED. As far as setting the
<Output level>
knob, let your ears be the judge. But, if you can’t hear the rest of the band, chances are that you need to back off on the
output level of the RP-20 Valve.
Preamp Effects
Preamp Section Adjustments
When editing in the preamp section, you have the option of editing the following preamp effects:
1. Solid State Distortion
2. Tube Distortion
3. Analog Wah
4. Compressor
5. 10-band EQ
6. Noise Gate
To dial in the preamp tone that is ideal for you, whether it be Distortion types, Analog Wah, 10-band EQ or noise gate adjustments, simply
press the
<Preamp>
button, which will put you in preamp edit mode. From there continue to press the
<Preamp>
button until you
reach the preamp module which you wish to edit. Notice that the module for editing will
Flash
in the display. Now that you are at the
module that you wish to edit, you can begin to use the
<Next Page>
and
<Previous Page>
buttons to move you through the module.
Once you arrive at a page you wish to edit, the display will show up to 4 parameters per page. To edit one of the parameters, simply press
one of the four function buttons marked
<1-4>
to select the parameter. At this point you can scroll through that selected parameter by
using the
<Data>
wheel. Once you have your sounds, always make sure to store and press the
<Program>
button to exit the edit mode.
The illustration below shows all of the editing tools needed for Preamp section editing.
