Getting Acquainted
Congratulations on your purchase of the RP1000. The RP1000 Integrated Effects Switching
System takes your tone to the next level giving you the control that you need over your
external amp and stompboxes while packing in the power of a multi-effects processor. Use the
RP1000 to control and spice up your tone without any compromises. The RP1000’s vast pallet
of stompboxes, effects, amps and cabinets allow you to get any sound imaginable and then some.
Easily dial up a sound using the Tone and Effects Library knobs. You will appreciate the tone and
dynamic interaction of each of the amps, stompboxes, and effects with your system. Add USB
support for computer recording and you have the RP1000: the key to unlock your creative
potential.

About the RP1000
Do yourself a favor and read the next couple pages before you start playing with your new
RP1000. It’ll help you get the most out of it without having to read the whole manual.
Preset Mode and Pedalboard Mode
There are two different ways to use the footswitches with the presets: Preset Mode and Pedal-
board Mode. Push the Pedalboard button (just to the right of the knobs below the Display) to
toggle between these two modes.
Preset Mode
In Preset mode (Pedalboard button is off), each of the 10 numbered footswitches loads a
preset, and you can’t turn individual models on or off with the footswitches. The Up/Down
footswitches select banks of 10 presets.
Pedalboard Mode
In Pedalboard mode, footswitches 1-5 select presets, and footswitches 6-10 act like pedals
on a pedalboard. That means you can turn the distortion, chorus, etc. on and off within each
preset. The first time you power up the RP1000 when you take it out of the box (or after
doing a factory restore), it’s in Pedalboard mode.
The RP1000 remembers which mode you’re in when you turn it off, and keeps it in that
mode when you turn it back on.
Bypass
You can bypass all the internal amps and effects in the RP1000 by stepping on the currently
active preset’s footswitch. In bypass mode, your guitar’s clean signal comes through without any
processing. To exit bypass mode and re-activate the preset you were in, just step the same foot-
switch again. To exit bypass mode and activate another preset, step on a different footswitch.
If you’re using the Amp Loop and/or the Stomp Loop when you go into bypass mode, any de-
vices connected to the Amp Loop and Stomp Loop are still active. So you can use bypass to kill
all the effects in the RP1000 without bypassing your amp/preamp connected to the Amp Loop.
