i've been having problems with my digitech RP200 for quite a while now. some settings wont produce any sounds at all, as in complete silence when i try to play with them. the wha pedal doesn't or rather i can't figure out how to use it when setting up a wha feature. is there anything i can do myself or do i have to get this proffessionaly fixed? please note that i don't have any experience with wiring, so anything that involves wiring would fall under the "professionall job" category.

thanks in advance.

Some of the effects on the multi-effects pedal need the pedal pushed down because it acts as a volume pedal. If you are doing that and aren't getting sound, un-plug and re-plug the unit back in. If that doesn't work, take the unit in to be fixed.

Hope everything works out for the best,

Mike

Did you plug everything in correctly? Are you plugged in "all the way"?

If so and you still don't have sound, take it back for another or take it to be fixed.

Funny this should come up - I have the same unit and was having the same problem. I put it in the closet for almost 6 months and pulled it back out a couple weeks ago. What is happening on mine is the pedal calibration gets screwed up and it thinks the pedal is all the way off. So, any setting that is using the pedal as a volume control will not sound, yet others works fine.

Easy fix - recallibrate the pedal. I don't have it with me but I think you hold down the left pedal when powering on and it will bring you through the recallibration (toe down, press button, toe up, press button). I've got the manual at home if you need the specifics let me know.

Good Luck!

You learn something new every day. I didn't know it could be calibrated.

The manual states -

1. Disconnect the power supply from the power jack on the RP200
2. Press and hold the Up Footswitch while re-connecting the power.
3. Continue to hold the Up Footswitch until the Display reads TOE DN.
4. Rock the Expression Pedal forward to the toe down position.
5. Press either Footswitch and the Display now shows TOE UP.
6. Rock the Expression Pedal back to the toe up position.
7. Press either Footswitch. The RP200 will return to the last selected Preset and the Expression Pedal is now calibrated.

Note: If the display shows ERROR, an error occured and steps 4 through 7 should be repeated.

Hope that works for you!

Mike
