About the Models
The RP355 can be thought of as several different “virtual” amplifiers and individual, high-tech
stompboxes in a single programmable package. With stompboxes, the order in which they are
connected affects the overall sound. The RP355 has placed the Amp and Effect models in an
order for optimum results. The following diagram shows the order in which they are connected.

Model Definitions
Each Amp and Effect model within the RP355 can be programmed to suit your personal taste
and application. Understanding how these components alter the sound, and how each parame-
ter alters the effect, will help you achieve the sound you are looking for. The following overview
of the RP355’s effects outlines what each effect and parameter does.
Pickup
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. This
gives you the best of both worlds without having to change guitars during a performance.
Pickup Model - Knob 1 selects the Pickup model to be simulated. Values include:
SC>Hb
(gives a single coil pickup the warm tone of a humbucker), and
Hb>SC
(gives a
humbucker the unique sound of a single coil). Press this knob to turn Pickup modeling on
and off.

put mix between the RP355 and playback from the computer. Ranges from
