DigiTech RP21D Musical Instrument User Manual


 
RP21D User’s Guide Section One - Introduction
Quick Start
The RP21D comes with 128 pre-programmed factory presets, and 128 user presets. You will find that from the factory, the user presets are
exact duplicates of the factory presets. This allows you to experiment without running the risk of losing any of the original sounds contained
in the RP21D.
For those of you who prefer to burn now and read later, we’ve included this Quick Start section to get you up and running.
Making Connections:
Connect your instrument to the input jack on the rear panel. Connect from the Left Output (for mono operation), or the Left and Right
Outputs (for stereo operation) to the input(s)of your amplifier(s) or power amp.
Apply Power:
Turn the Output knob on the rear panel of the RP21D all the way down (fully counter clockwise). Connect the plug of the PS0940 power
supply to the power jack on the RP21D. Connect the other end of the PS0940 power supply to an AC outlet. Begin playing your instrument
and adjust the Input Level knob until the Input Clip LED flashes with strongest signal, then slightly reduce the Input Level. Turn the power of
your amplifier(s) to the on position. Gradually increase the Output knob to achieve the desired volume.
Select Program:
Use the Footswitches or the Data Wheel to scroll through the different programs. Once you have found some Programs that suit your taste,
you can alter the sounds to your specific needs. By pressing the Effects button, you can roll the Data Wheel to access any of the effects
contained within your selected Program. The 1-4 buttons will select the specified parameters related to each effect. The Next Page, and
Previous Page buttons will display all of the pages of related effect parameters. Once a parameter has been selected, you may increase or
decrease the parameter value with the Data Wheel. You can adjust any of these parameters to your liking, and remember that you are not at
risk of losing any sounds so, don’t be afraid to experiment.
