Section Thr ee - Effects and P arameters About the Effects The RP300A can be thought of as sev eral differ ent “vir tual” amplifiers and individual, hi-tech stomp box es in a single programmable package. With stomp bo x es, the order in which they are connected can drasticall y affect the ov erall sound quality .
Compressor A Compr essor is used to increase sustain, tighten up the guitar signal, and prev ent the signal from clipping the input of other eff ects. It sets a maximum boundar y (Threshold) for the strength of a signal. If a signal exceeds the Threshold, it is squeezed back into compliance based upon the compression Ratio setting.
The following diagram sho ws the difference betw een the Mic 1 through Mic 4 selections: EQ Equalization is an extremel y useful tool used to further shape the tonal response of y our guitar signal. The EQ in the RP300A is similar to the tone knobs on an amplifier .
Gate Threshold - The Number 4 Knob sets the signal strength r equired to open or close the Noise Gate. The Gate Threshold parameter ranges fr om 1 (opens easily) to 40 (r equires str ong signals to open). Pluck Sensitivity - The Number 5 Knob controls the point where the Gate r e-triggers when using the Pluck type Noise Gate.
P arameter 2 - The Number 3 Knob adjusts the strength the signal must be (Sensitivity) in order to trigger the Flanger . Ranges from 1 (r equiring str ong signals to trigger) to 99 (triggers with weak signals). P arameter 3 - The Number 4 Knob selects the point at where the Flanger will begin it’ s sw eep (LFO Start).
Vibrato ( viBRTO ) A Vibrato effect modulates the pitch of the incoming signal at an e ven rate. P arameter 1 - The Number 2 Knob adjusts the rate (Speed) at which the pitch modulates. Ranges from 1 to 99 . P arameter 2 - The Number 3 Knob adjusts the intensity (Depth) of the modulating pitch.
SynthT alk™ ( syNtLK ) SynthT alk™ is another effect exclusive to DigiT ech. It makes y our guitar seem to speak based upon the dynamics of your pla ying style . P arameter 1 - The Number 2 Knob adjusts the Attack of the synthesized v oice. Ranges from 1 to 99 .

Section F our - Other Functions Expression Pedal The Expression P edal on the RP300A can be assigned to control the RP300A’ s V olume , Whamm y™, Y a Y a™, or just about any other parameter in r eal time with your foot. When a parameter has been assigned to the Expression P edal, a programmable minim um and maximum value can also be assigned.
V -Switch The RP300A’ s Expr ession Pedal includes DigiT ech’ s exclusive V -Switch. The V -Switch allows the Expression P edal assignment to be switched on the fly .
REVLVL (Rev erb Lev el) - The LFO contr ols the Rev erbs Mix Level. VOLPRE (V olume Pre) - The LFO contr ols the V olume after the Amp Modeling but befor e the Effects. VOLPST (V olume Post) - The LFO contr ols the V olume at the end of the Effects chain.
V -Switch Sensitivity If you wish to adjust the sensitivity setting of the V -Switch, follow steps 1 through 7 f or Calibrating the Expression P edal and then follow the steps listed below: 1.
