Changing how the pedal switch works

With the factory settings, the effect can be turned on/off by operating the pedal switch, and you can switch between SLOW/FAST by long-pressing the pedal switch. This behavior can be changed.

You can select how the pedal works according to your playing style. For example, you can switch between SLOW/FAST by pressing the pedal switch, or switch to SLOW (FAST) only while pressing and holding the pedal.

Follow the steps below to change how the pedal switch works.

  1. Turn off the RT-2 (unplug the cable from the INPUT A (MONO) jack).
  2. Turn the [SLOW] knob to the maximum (MAX) setting.
  3. Turn all other knobs besides the [SLOW] knob to the minimum (MIN) setting.
  4. Set the [MODE] switch to the “I” position.
  6. Turn on the power by connecting a plug to the INPUT A (MONO) jack while holding down the pedal switch.
  7. The CHECK indicator blinks, and the unit enters settings mode.
  8. Use the [DRIVE] knob to select the type of pedal switch.
  9. The VIRTUAL ROTOR display changes according to the type selected.
