Solid State Distortion
In addition to the Tube Distortion, the RP21D also includes a solid state Distortion. Both the tube and solid state Distortions may be run
simultaneously or separately. Each Distortion has a separate 10 band Equalizer. To access the solid state Distortion module, press the
Preamp button until the Dist module is flashing. The display will look something like this:
The display is now telling you three things about the Distortion parameters:
1. This is showing that the type of effect you are about to edit is Distortion, and that the effect is on. The number 1 icon before the word
“on” indicates that in order to access the on/off parameter, you must press the number 1 button. The status can then be changed by
rotating the Data Wheel.
2. This is the default setting for the Distortion. The Distortion default shown here is factory default 4 (F4)which is a Low Fuzz Distortion
setting. The number 4 icon which precedes the F4 value, indicates that in order to access the default parameter, you must press the
number 4 button. The default can then be changed by rotating the Data Wheel. See page 22 for a complete list of defaults.
3. The bottom corner of the display is showing that there are 2 pages of parameters associated with the Distortion, and that you are on the
first of these two pages. The Next or Previous Page buttons can be used to access page 2 of the Distortion parameters.
Once you have accessed page 2 of the Distortion, the display will look something like this:
The display it now telling you three more things about the Tube Distortion parameters.
1. This parameter is the Distortion Type. There are four types of Distortion including Grunge, Fuzz,Overdrive, and Heavy Sustain. The number
2 icon is telling you that in order to access the Distortion Type, you must press the number 2 button. You can then select the Type of
Distortion by rotating the Data Wheel.
2. This is the Distortion Gain parameter. The Gain is the amount of distortion and is adjustable from 0 to 100. The number 4 icon is telling
you that in order to access the Gain parameter, you must press the number 4 button. You can then change the Distortion Gain value by
rotating the Data Wheel.
3. This section of the display is telling you that you are on page 2 of 2. There are no more pages of parameters to display. Pressing the Next
Page button will wrap around to page 1 of 2.
If you made any changes to the Distortion parameters, you can save your changes to a user default for the Distortion. This will allow you to
quickly recall all of these Distortion settings when creating another Program just by choosing the user default. See the previous section for
instructions on saving a Distortion default .
