A Quick Tour of the RP-7 Valve
The Front Panel
1) Pedalboard
- The RP-7 Valve’s pedalboard consists of six footswitches. The two Mode footswitches to the right of the Parameter Matrix
allow you to change from Program mode to Bank mode by pressing the
<UP>
&
<DOWN>
footswitches simultaneously. When changing
modes, the appropriate LED will light to indicate whether you are in Program mode or Bank Mode. In Program Mode, the
<UP>
and
<DOWN>
footswitches allow you to move through Programs, while the four main switches, labeled
<1 - 4>
, act as toggle On/Off
switches for Distortion, Modulation, Delay, and Reverb. In Bank mode, the
<UP>
and
<DOWN>
footswitches allow you to move through
Banks, while the
<1-4>
footswitches are used to select Programs. If footswitches 1 and 2 are pressed simultaneously, Tuner Mode will be
activated. If footswitches
<3>
and
<4>
are pressed simultaneously, Bypass Mode will be activated.
2) Parameter Matrix -
The Parameter Matrix consists of a group of horizontal Effect LEDs and a second group of vertical Parameter LEDs.
The Effect LEDs are: Compressor, Preamp, Equalization, Noise Gate, Wah Wah, Mod/Pitch, Dual Delay, Reverb, and Speaker Cab. This
matrix shows you exactly what Effects and Parameters are in use.
3) Display Window -
The display window shows all current operating and programming information and is comprised of two parts: the
seven segment LED displays and the Signal, Clip, and Store indicator LEDs. The first one numeric LED in the display window indicates
whether you are in a User (U) or Factory Bank (F). The second and third LEDs indicates the Bank number currently in use, and the fourth
indicates which Program number is currently in use. These numbers change as you scroll through the available Programs. The functions of
the Signal, Clip, and Store indicator LEDs are as follows:
• Signal
- Indicates whether a signal is entering the RP-7 Valve.
• Clip
- Indicates analog clipping in the RP-7 Valve. Digital clipping can be detected when the third vertical LED from the top of the
Parameter Matrix flashes. Distortion may be heard in the output signal if either analog or digital clipping occurs. If analog clipping occurs,
check the Preamp On/Off levels. The levels may need to be lowered to eliminate the problem. To reduce digital clipping, the Master
