DigiTech RP21D - Manual (Page 18)

Wah Wah
The RP21D includes an analog Wah effect which can be assigned to the expression pedal and controlled just like a stand alone Wah pedal.
You access the Wah by pressing the Preamp button until the Wah module in the display is flashing. With the Wah module flashing, the display
will look something like this:
The display is now telling you 4 things about the Wah effect:
1. This is the Wah on/off parameter. The number 1 icon is telling you that in order to access the on/off parameter, you must press the
number 1 button. Then you can turn the Wah effect on or off by rotating the Data Wheel.
2. This is the Wah Pedal Position parameter. The number 2 icon is telling you that in order to access the Pedal Position parameter, you must
press the number 2 button. Then you can assign the wah effect to the Expression Pedal by pressing Assign once, and rocking the Pedal
back and forth once.
3. This parameter is the Wah Type. The number 4 icon is telling you that in order to access the Wah curve response, you must press the
number 4 button. Then you can select the different curves of Wah by rotating the Data Wheel.
4. This section of the display is telling you that there is only one page of Wah parameters. Pressing the Next Page button will have no affect.
Tube Distortion
The RP21D contains a real 12AX7 tube capable of creating a wide variety of clean and distorted tones. The flexibility of the distortions
created by the tube are entirely up to you, and the way you set the distortion up. To access the Tube Distortion module, press the Preamp
button until the Tube module is flashing. The display will look something like this:
The display is now telling you three things about the Tube Distortion parameters:
1. This is showing that the type of effect you are about to edit is Tube Distortion, and that the effect is on. The number 1 icon before the
word “on” indicates that in order to access the on/off parameter, you must press the number 1 button. The status can then be changed by
rotating the Data Wheel.
2. This is the default setting for the Tube Distortion. The Tube Distortion default shown here is factory default 7 (F7)which is a Dirty
Distortion setting. The number 4 icon which precedes the F7 value, indicates that in order to access the default parameter, you must press
the number 4 button. The default can then be changed by rotating the Data Wheel. See page 22 for a complete list of defaults
3. The bottom corner of the display is showing that there are 2 pages of parameters associated with the Tube Distortion, and that you are on
the first of these two pages. The Next or Previous Page buttons can be used to access page 2 of the Tube Distortion parameters.
