Model Definitions

Each Amp and Effect model within the RP255 can be programmed to suit your personal taste

and application. Understanding how these components alter the sound, and how each parameter

alters the effect, will help you achieve the sound you are looking for. The following overview of the

RP255’s effects outlines what each effect and parameter does.

Pickup

The Pickup Simulator provides the thick tone of a humbucker pickup to a guitar with single coil

pickups, or the bright, edgy sound of a single coil pickup to a guitar with a humbucker. This gives

you the best of both worlds without having to change guitars during a performance.

Pickup Model - Knob 1 selects the Pickup model to be simulated. Values include: SC>Hb

(gives a single coil pickup the warm tone of a humbucker), and Hb>SC (gives a humbucker

the unique sound of a single coil). Press this knob to turn Pickup modeling on and off.

Preset Level - Knob 4 adjusts the preset’s level.

Wah

Wah is an effect controlled by an Expression Pedal making the guitar sound as if it’s saying “Wah.”

Wah Model - Knob 1 selects the Wah model. Values include: FuLrnG (DigiTech
