Applying Power
There are two options for powering the RP50: battery power, and the optional PS200R DC power supply. Before applying power to anything, set your amp(s) to a clean tone and set the tone controls to a flat EQ response (on most amps, this would be 0 or 5 on the tone controls).
Battery Power
The RP50 can be run for more than 15 hours on 6 AA batteries.The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the RP50. The following diagram shows how to install the batteries.
Note: Pay close attention to the battery polarity when installing batteries as polarity changes direction for each pair.
Connecting a cable to the Input applies power to the RP50. Disconnecting your instrument from the Input of the RP50 disconnects the battery power. Turn your amplifier(s) on and adjust the volume(s) to a normal playing level. To prolong the battery life, disconnect your instrument from the RP50’s Input when not in use .
AC Power
The RP50 can also be powered with the optional PS200R power supply. Connect the plug of the PS200R power supply to the power jack on the rear panel of the RP50. Connect the other end of the PS200R power supply to an AC outlet. Turn your amplifier(s) on and adjust the volume(s)to a normal playing level.
About the RP50
The Presets
Presets are numbered locations of programmed sounds. Presets are recalled with the Footswitches.The RP50 comes with 40 User Presets (Presets 1-40) and 40 Factory Presets (Presets 41-80). The User Presets are locations where you may store presets you create. The Factory Presets may not be saved over. From the factory, the 40 User Presets are exact duplicates of the 40 Factory Presets. This lets you make your own presets without the worry of losing any Factory Presets.
Play Mode
When you first apply power to the RP50, it powers up in Play mode. The far left LED lights, indicating you’re in Play mode. In Play mode, use the Up and Down Footswitches to access the presets.

Effect Definitions
The RP50 can be thought of as several different “virtual” amplifiers, and individual hi-tech effects. Each effect within the RP50 can be programmed to suit your personal application. Understanding how these effects alter the sound helps you achieve the sound you are looking for. The following overview of the RP50’s effects outlines what each effect does.
Pickup Sim / | Compressor | Amp | Cabinet | Noise |
Wah | Modeling | Modeling | Gate | |
EQ | Chorus / Mod | Delay | Reverb |
Preset Level
Controls the individual level for each preset. Because this setting is individual to each preset, you may adjust the volume when using louder or softer amp models.
Pickup/Wah
The Pickup Simulator gives the thick tone of a humbucker pickup from a guitar with single coil pickups, or the bright edgy sound of a single coil pickup from a guitar with a humbucker. Wah is an effect controlled by an expression pedal making the guitar sound as if it’s saying “Wah.”
Pickup/Wah Type - The Value buttons select the Pick Up or Wah type that is simulated. OF - Turns the Pickup Simulator / Wah module off.
SH - Gives a single coil pick up the warm tone of a humbucker. HS - Gives a humbucker the unique sound of a single coil.
Cr - Cry Wah is a traditional sounding Wah.
bo - Boutique Wah is a wider sweeping Wah with a more modern sound. Fr - Full Range Wah sweeps the entire spectrum of audible frequencies.
Compressor
A Compressor is used to automatically limit the dynamic level of the guitar signal.
1 to 15 - Controls the amount of compression (ratio and sustain) and ranges from 1 (slight compression) through infinity (maximum sustain) or turns the compression effect off.
Amp/Cabinet Modeling
Amp Modeling is a technology that applies the tones of several popular modern and vintage amps and acoustic guitar simulation. Values 1-9 increase the amp’s gain and level.

EQ
Equalization is used to shape the tonal response of your guitar signal. The EQ in the RP50 is similar to the tone knobs on an amplifier. Values 1-4 cut the level of each band, 5 is flat (no cut or boost), and values 6-9 boost the level of each band.
Bass (b1- b9 ) - The Value buttons adjust the amount of low end enhancement (Bass). Mid (d1- d9)- The Value buttons adjust the amount of mid range enhancement.
Treble (t1- t9)- The Value buttons adjust the amount of high end enhancement (Treble).
Noise Gate
A Noise Gate is designed to eliminate noise while you are not playing. The AutoSwell setting creates a volume pedal effect automatically with varying attack times. Different guitars and pickups require different threshold settings. Choose a setting that fully mutes the sound when you are not playing for the lowest setting.
Of. G1-G9- Selects the Silencer™ Noise Gate. Settings 1-9 select the threshold. Of turns the gate effect off.
s1-s9- Selects the Auto Swell volume swell effect. Settings 1-9 select the attack time.
Chorus/Mod
The Chorus/Mod module is a multi-function module that lets you select the following effects: Chorus, Flanger, Phaser,Tremolo, Panner,Vibrato, Rotary Speaker, AutoYa™, Envelope, Detune, Pitch Shift, and Whammy™ effects. When the Chorus/Mod module is selected, the Value buttons are used to choose the type of effect. Only one of the effects in this row can be used at a time. The following list describes each effect and their parameters in more detail.
Chorus (C1-C9)
A Chorus adds a short delay to your signal. The delayed signal is modulated in and out of tune and then mixed back with the original signal to create a thicker sound, and stereo image. Use the Value buttons to select one of the nine Chorus settings.
Flange (F1-f9)
A Flanger uses the same principle as a Chorus but uses a shorter delay time and adds regeneration (or repeats) to the modulating delay. This results in an exaggerated up and down sweeping motion to the effect. Use the Value buttons to select one of the nine Flanger settings.
Phaser (P1-p9)
A phaser splits the incoming signal, and changes the phasing of the signal. The signal is taken in and out of phase and mixed back in with the original signal. As the phasing changes, different frequencies get canceled resulting in a warm sort of twisting sound. Use the Value buttons to select one of the nine Phaser settings.
Tremolo (t1-t9)
A Tremolo effect modulates the volume of the signal at an even rate. Use the Value buttons to select one of the nine predetermined settings.
Panner (n1-n9)
An Auto Panner modulates the sound from left to right at an even rate. Use the Value buttons to select one of the nine Panner settings.
Vibrato (b1-b9)
A Vibrato effect modulates the pitch of the incoming signal at an even rate. Use the Value buttons to select one of the nine Vibrato settings.
Rotary Speaker (r1-r9)
Rotary Speaker is an emulation of a device that included a spinning horn and woofer. The rotation of these two speakers produces an interesting combination of sound panning from side to side with a slight pitch change produced from the speed of the sound coming towards, and then going away from the listener. Use the Value buttons to select one of the nine Rotary Speaker settings.
AutoYa™ (a1-a9)
An AutoYa™ combines the characteristics of a Wah and a Flanger together creating an almost human vowel characteristic as if the guitar were saying “Yah.” The AutoYa™ provides animation to the sound based on string attack. Use the Value buttons to select one of the nine AutoYa™ settings.
Envelope Filter (E1-e9)
The Envelope Filter is a dynamic Wah effect that alters your sound based upon how hard you play. Use the Value buttons to select one of the nine Envelope Filter settings.
Detune (d1-d9)
A Detuner makes a copy of your incoming signal, takes the copied signal slightly out of tune from the original, and mixes the two signals together. The result is a doubling type
of effect as if two guitars were playing the same part together. Use the Value buttons to select one of the nine Detuner settings.
Pitch Shift (H1-H9)
The Pitch Shifting copies the incoming signal, and shifts the pitch of the copy to a different note.The shifted note is mixed back with the original signal sounding as if two guitars were playing different notes. Use the Value buttons to select one of the nine Pitch Shift settings. The Pitch Shift settings are as follows:
H1= -12 semitones | H4= -4 semitones | H7= +5 semitones |
H2= -7 semitones | H5= +3 semitones | H8= +7 semitones |
H3= -5 semitones | H6= +4 semitones | H9= +12 semitones |
Whammy™ (Y1-y9)
Whammy™ is an effect that uses an Expression Pedal to bend the pitch of the incoming signal, or add a bendable harmony with the original signal. As the Pedal is moved, the note bends either up or down. Use the Value buttons to select one of the nine Whammy™ settings. W denotes Whammy bends and H denotes harmony bends. The Whammy settings are as follows:
y1=W Octave Up | y4=W 2 Octaves Down | y7=H 3rd/4th Up |
y2=W 2 Octaves Up | y5=H m3rd/Maj 3rd Up | y8=H Octave Up |
y3=W Octave Down | y6=H 2nd/Maj 3rd Up | y9=H Octave Down |
Delay
The RP50 has 3 different delay types, Mono (D),Analog (A), and Ping Pong (P), each with 2 seconds of delay time available. There are two different parameters used to program the delay, Delay Variation and Time. The first parameter of the delay effect is Delay Type/Variation, which selects the delay type to be used and varies the amount of feedback (number of repeats) and level. The second delay parameter is Delay Time. This is indicated by a value 1-99 (10ms-990ms), 1.0 and 2.0 (1 and 2 seconds respectively) in the display when the Delay LED is lit. Delay settings are as follows:
d, a, p1=5% fback, level 15 d, a, p2=25% fback, level 15 d, a, p3=50% fback, level 15
d, a, p4=5% fback, level 30 d, a, p5=25% fback, level 30 d, a, p6=50% fback, level 30
d, a, p7=5% fback, level 50 d, a, p8=25% fback, level 50 d, a, p9=50% fback, level 50
Reverb
Using reverb in recorded program material gives the listener a sense that the material is being performed in an actual room or hall. It is this similarity to actual acoustic spaces that makes reverberation a useful tool in recorded music. Use the Value buttons to select one of the nine predetermined settings. The higher numbers indicate there is more reverb level. The reverb settings are as follows:
r1-f9 | = Room | C1-C9=Church | |
H1-H9 | - Hall | A1-a9 | = Arena |
P1-p9 | - Plate | S1-s9 | - Spring |
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.
Cabinet Modeling is now enabled for all amp models in all presets. The following lists what cabinet accompanies each model:
