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

Section 3 - Basic Operations
About the RP-7 Valve’s Modes
The RP-7 Valve offers seven modes, allowing easy operation of the Effects and Parameters. The modes are as follows:
PROGRAM MODE
Allows you to scroll through the 40 Factory and User Programs by using the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons as well as the <UP>
and <DOWN> foot switches. Enter Program mode by pressing the <UP> and <DOWN> foot switches simultaneously until the Program LED
lights and a P appears briefly in the display window. Foot switches <1-4> act as on/off toggle switches for the specified effects.
BANK MODE
Allows you to scroll quickly through Factory and User Banks by using the <UP> and <DOWN> foot switches. Enter Bank mode by pressing
the <UP> and <DOWN> foot switches simultaneously until the Bank LED lights and a B appears briefly in the display window. When you
enter Bank mode, the Bank and Program numbers from the previous mode will be retained. When a Program number is displayed in the
display window, you can use the Value <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to scroll through Programs and Banks, exactly like Program mode.
When the <UP> and <DOWN> footswitches are used in Bank mode, you will scroll through Banks only. When you change a Bank using this
method, the previous Program number is not displayed with the new Bank. The LEDs above foot switches <1-4> will begin flashing, indicating
that you can choose a Program in the selected Bank by pressing one of the four foot switches. Once a Program number has been selected, both
the Bank and Program numbers will be displayed. Exit Bank mode by changing to another mode.
EDIT MODE
Allows you to modify effect Parameters in a Program. Enter Edit mode by pressing the <EDIT> button. The Display window now shows the
value of the Parameter indicated by the LEDs in the Matrix. You can scroll through the Parameter matrix using the Parameter Select buttons.
The <UP> and <DOWN> buttons allow you to scroll through the vertical Parameter LEDs, while the <LEFT> and <RIGHT> buttons allow
you to scroll through the horizontal Effect LEDs.
After selecting a Parameter, you can scroll through its values with the <UP> and <DOWN> Value buttons. When changing Parameter values, a
decimal point will flash in the display when the value is not the stored value for the program. The Store LED will light at this time as well. If
you return to the original value, the decimal point will stop flashing and the Store LED will go off. If you exit Edit mode after changing the
Parameters and then return to Edit mode, the last viewed Parameter will be displayed.

window followed by
---
to indicate that you are in Tuner mode. To begin tuning play a note on your guitar (a harmonic at the 12th fret will
work best). The display window will show the note being played and the horizontal Parameter Matrix LEDs just under the tuning bar will light.
Once the green LED directly under the IN TUNE of the tuning bar is lit, the note will be in tune. If the note is not in tune, 1 or 2 of the LEDs
left or right of the IN TUNE LED will be lit. If they are to the left, the note is flat and should be tuned up. If the LEDs are to the right, the note
is sharp and should tuned down. You can change your tuning preference by using the value <UP> and <DOWN> buttons. The default
factory setting is : A=440 Hz. The tuning reference control ranges from 427 Hz to 453 Hz, which is the equivalent of ± 50 cents (1/2
semitone) in either direction form 440 Hz.
When you scroll down from 427 Hz, you will also find alternate dropped tunings. Alternate tunings are A = Ab (415), A = G (392), and A =
Gb (370). The display window will briefly flash the currently selected tuning preference.
Exit this mode by pressing any of the footswitches. When you exit this mode, the RP-7 Valve will default to the last mode you used.

Ambience, or reverberation, is produced when sound energy is reflected off room surfaces and objects. Using reverb in recorded program
material gives the listener a sense that the material is being performed in an actual room or hall. It is this similarity to actual acoustic spaces
that makes reverberation a useful tool in recorded music. Reverb Parameters and their functions are as follows:
On / Bypass Turns the Reverb on or off.
Type Allows you to choose your ambience or setting you want to use. There are ten available type settings:
CLub=Club Garg=Garage
pLat=Plate HALL=Hall
SStg=Sound Stage Chur=Church
bAth=Bathroom ArEn=Arena
Stud=Studio SPrg=Spring
Level Controls the amount of reverb signal to be mixed in with the dry signal. Ranges from 0 to 100.
