Quick Start

For those of you who prefer to burn now and read later, we've included this Quick Start section to get you up and running.

Connect Cables:

Connect guitar into the Input jack (located on the rear of the RP-20). Now run from the Output of the RP-20 to the Input of the either the Guitar Amp, Power Amp or Mixing board.

Apply Power:

Note: When applying power to the RP-20 Valve, it is recommended that the <Input> and <Output> be turned down prior to powering up the unit.

Adjust Input and Output:

Use the <Input> level knob on the rear panel to adjust the Input level, so that the loudest guitar signal occasionally lights the clip LED indicator. Now adjust the <Output > level knob on the rear panel of the RP-20 Valve to the desired output level .

Select Preset:

Begin playing your guitar, and choose any preset using the <Data> wheel or pressing any one of the ten footswitches. User Presets 1-100 are duplicates of the Factory Presets. They are user-programmable. You can modify and store them as you want. Factory Presets 1-100 are not userprogrammable and cannot be overwritten.

RP-20 Valve

Section -1 Introduction

The Preamp Section

Dual Distortion Paths: A truly unique feature that the RP-20 Valves offers, is the ability to run dual distortion paths within the same effect configuration. What does this mean? This means that you can run your guitar’s signal through two distortion paths at the same time and morph between them. This is a great effect for producing clean and distorted tones at the same time.

Solid State Distortion Path: The Solid State distortion path in the RP-20 Valve gives you the ability to get great clean tones, classic rock fuzz distortions, and even high gain rock distortions.

Tube Distortion Path: The Solid State distortions are great to use alone, but the RP-20 Valve is the first to provide the user with Tube preamp tones in a floor mounted effects processor. This will give you the ability to re-create classic tube distortions which are ideal for playing country rock, blues and all out rock guitar.

Digitally Controlled Analog Wah: Conveniently located in the preamp section, lies a digitally controlled Analog Wah module. The Analog Wah will produce classic wahs, modern wahs, and even auto wahs. The Analog wah is assignable to the built-in expression pedal on the RP-20 Valve. For more information on using the Analog Wah with the expression pedal, please see pages 20.

Preamp Compressor: The RP-20 Valve provides you with a compressor in the preamp section to dial-in all of your preamp tones. The compressor can be used to tighten-up the clean rhythm tones or make a solo come to life.

Dual 10 band EQs: If having dual distortion paths within RP-20 Valve is not appealing enough, you also have 10-band EQ modules in each path. This will give complete tonal control over each distortion type that is being used.

Silencer II™ Noise gate To keep the RP-20 Valve ultra-quiet, we have included the world famous Silencer II™ noise reduction system under the hood. This make the RP-20 Valve an ideal piece for any studio recording.

Section -1 Introduction

RP-20 Valve

Digital Effects

Not only does the RP-20 Valve provide you great preamp tones, but it also has a world class digital multi-effect section that includes almost every studio-quality effect imaginable.

Effects include:
• Reverbs (Natural & Spring)	• Auto panners
• Choruses	• Analog/Digital Delays
• Tremolos	• Whammy Effects
• Rotary Speaker Simulation	• Chromatic Pitch Shifters
• Phasers	• Intelligent Pitch Shifter
• Flangers	• Detuners
• Digital Compressor

Real Time Parameter Modifiers: Modifiers are unique tools that can be used to dramatically alter your sound based on information from signal amplitude, the settings of a Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) or MIDI Continuous Controller information.

Every Program in the RP-20 Valve has a set of modifiers. Up to 16 Modifier links can be assigned to control parameters. There are 5 types of Modifiers that can be linked to a parameter: Foot Switch, Expression Pedal, MIDI CCs, LFOs, and Dynamic (signal level dependent).

MIDI CCs: When you use MIDI CCs, your RP-20 Valve responds to CC numbers 0-127 and CHP (channel pressure or aftertouch).

For example, you can have a synth's modulation wheel (usually MIDI CC#1) control the Input level of a reverb and chorus in one Program, while the delay feedback may be controlled in another. For more information on MIDI CCs, please see pg. 51.

LFOs: When you use LFOs, parameter values can be controlled automatically between a defined minimum and maximum setting at a userdefinable rate. Your RP-20 Valve has 2 user definable LFOs in each program that can use unique speeds and waveforms, and can be assigned to any Parameter.

For example, you can create an auto panner without using an auto panner module. Simply link an effect's output pan parameter to the LFO modifier and the LFO will move that parameter back and forth. This modifier can be a very useful weapon in the ongoing battle of new sound creation. For more information on LFOs, please see pg. 51.

Dynamic Modifiers: When you use Dynamic Modifiers, the parameter values are controlled in relation to the dynamics of the input signal. The possibilities are nearly endless. For more information on Dynamic Modifiers, please see pg. 51.

For example, you could link the Dynamic Modifier of a Program to control a chorus level. It doesn't sound like much on paper, but imagine the expressiveness of this type of effect on a lead. As you play the guitar harder, the chorus becomes less apparent. Play softly and the chorus increases. ALL IN REAL TIME!

For more information on using modifiers see the “Assigning Modifiers” section on page 51.

Module Types

Each effect in the digital FX section is contained in separate effect blocks referred to as “Modules”. There are three basic types of FX Modules used by the Digital FX section of the RP-20 Valve

•Mono FX module

•Dual FX module

•Stereo FX module

The figure below illustrates how signals are routed through each type of FX Module. Although all three Modules are shown with stereo inputs, they can still be used with a mono source. The mono source would just be routed to both sides of the module’s inputs. Notice how the Dual FX Module maintains a stereo image, while the mono FX Module always sums the signal

Module Sizes

These modules vary in size ranging from 1/4 size to Full. In order to achieve the nearly endless combinations of effects and routings, we've supplied you with four different module sizes and they are as follows:

•Full (module type = FUL)

•3/4 (module type = 3-4)

•Half (module type = HLF)

•Quarter (module type = 4th)

Dividing the S-DISC II’s processing power allows your RP-20 Valve to produce up to 4 digital effects at one time. The figure below represents how the S-DISC II can be divided to accommodate a wide variety of effect routing.

FULL

3/4

HALF

QUARTER

S-DISC II

A Full module type offers effects with more flexibility and power than the Half modules, and so on, but all four sizes of FX Modules feature high quality effects, so you don’t have to worry if you need to divide the S-DISC II pie four ways. For a complete list of these FX Types please see the Editing Modules section. For a complete list of effect configurations please see Appendix on page 76.

Running Direct with the Programmable Cabinet Emulator

The RP-20 Valve provides you with a speaker cabinet emulator for running direct to a mixing board.

When using the speaker cabinet emulator, it can be done by simply engaging cabinet Emulator in Page 2 of the Utilities menu. To get there, press the <Utilities> button. Now press the <Next Page> or <Previous Page>buttons and move to page 2. Once there, you can globally enable (global on) or disable (global off) the Emulator or enable local settings (local on) by pressing the <4> button and then turning the <Data> wheel. To set up local (Programs dependent) emulation on page 2 of the Output/Master mix module in edit mode press the <Effects> button until you reach the last page in the effect configuration chain where the master mix is located. Now press the <Next Page> button to move to page 2 of the parameters. use the <1> , <2> and <3> buttons to set the cabinet emulator parameters.

To Exit this mode, simply press the <Program> button.

At this point, you will want to run from either Left or Right outputs (or both for a stereo mix), into the selected inputs of the Mixer. You can set the Output mode to either Stereo (splitting the signal into a stereo soundfield) or Mono (summing the stereo signal) on page 1 of the Utilities menu by using the <2> button to select the mode.

As usual, it is a good idea to check all of the cables being used when making connections to ensure that good contact is being made. Notice that once the Speaker Cabinet Emulator is turned On, the SPEAKER icon will appear in the display.

Getting Around In the Operating System

The menu structure of your RP-20 Valve has been specially designed to be easy to use. The display shows the information you need, but to make things even easier for you, illumination of the front panel buttons offers additional operating information.

The front panel buttons give you information in one of two ways:

1 - If the button is dim, its function is inactive. Pressing a dim button causes it to light brightly and its function becomes the active item in the display. If the dim button doesn’t light after you press it, the button is unavailable.

2 - If the button is bright, its function is active.

Program Mode

Program mode allows you to scroll through the Factory and User programs using the <Data> wheel. When your RP-20 Valve is turned on, it sets itself to Program mode. Program mode is active when the <Program> button is lit and a Program name is present on the information line (top line) of the display.

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.
