RedPlate RP50DUO Operations Guide

OTHER FEATURES
The RP50DUO comes complete with a footswitch and a footswitch cable. The cable used is a regular MIDI cable and is readily
available in any length at most music stores.
TWEED
– When engaged (lit) the guitar input is routed to the Tweed channel. The footswitch button does not work when the Blackface
Channel’s volume control is pulled because it overrides the footswitch.
EDGE (Drive1)
– Character Boost feature. When lit, the Edge Overdrive section of the amplifier is active, not lit, means the section is
bypassed. The footswitch button does not work when the Edge
section’s Gain control is rotated to zero because it is a duplicate function.
BODY (Drive2)
– Character Boost feature. When lit, the Body Overdrive section of the amplifier is active, not lit, means the section is
bypassed. The footswitch button does not work when the
Body section’s Gain control is rotated to zero because it is a duplicate function.
BOOST
– Girth Boost feature, it, adds volume and tone by doing a partial tone stack lift on the Blackface channel or a full tone control
lift on the Tweed channel. The footswitch button does not work when the Blackface channel is active and the Blackface
preamp’s Bass
control is rotated to zero (because it is a duplicate function).
THE EDGE AND BODY SECTIONS CAN BOTH BE ENABLED FOR EVEN MORE GAIN.
POWER ON/OFF PROCEDURE
1. Check the Standby switch to make sure it is toggled downward for Standby operation.
2. Toggle the main power switch to the up position (this switch is located at the top of the IEC input module). The front panel pilot light
should be lit.
3. Wait one minute and then toggle the Standby switch upwards to the Operate position.
4. POWER OFF
– Toggle the main power switch downward, there is no need to go into standby first although it will not hurt anything.
