Other Functions
Expression Pedal
The rear panel of the RP50 includes an input for an expression pedal. Any passive volume
pedal can be used as an expression pedal with the RP50. Connect from the output of a
passive volume pedal to the Expression Pedal Input on the RP50. The expression pedal
controls the RP50’s Volume,Wah, or Whammy™ parameters. If Wah and Whammy are
disabled, the expression pedal functions as a volume pedal. If the Wah or Whammy™
effects are enabled, the expression pedal control these effects.
Drum Machine
The RP50 includes several sampled drum patterns that are useful for developing a good
sense of timing. Press the Drums button to enter Drums mode and start playback of the
drum loop (except when in Store or Bypass mode). In Drums mode, the Edit buttons
selects the drum Pattern, Tempo, and Level of the drum loop. Press the Drums button again
to stop playback of the drum loop.
Global Cabinet Modeling
The RP50 includes cabinet modeling that can be enabled on all presets when running it into
a mixer, recording device, or when using it with headphones. This feature emulates a
speaker cabinet connected to each of the amp models in all presets. Each amp model has a
specific cabinet model that optimizes its sound when using the RP50 in this manner. To
enable Cabinet Modeling:
1. Press and hold the drums button when applying power to the RP50. Wait until the display
reads Cabinet On. Release the Drums button.
