Then you Googled it on your phone but you find that in order to get the tone, you need to fire up X-Edit on a proper computer or laptop, and connect the RP255 by USB?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/glaringnotebook.com\/zimages\/rp255header.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>My app lets you view the patch &#8211; you&#8217;ll still have to dial in the settings manually. For convenience, <b>all the settings are arranged as they are on the pedal<\/b>!<\/p>\n<p>Now it would be awesome to connect the pedal to an Android device via USB, but I don&#8217;t have an Android device with USB Host functionality and even then that might be too daunting a task! (I don&#8217;t have a Near-Field-Communication-supporting device, either&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>The RP155 and RP250 have beta support as of version 1.1, in the Android Market now. It may not show certain values, so contact me if you find such a patch file.<\/p>\n<p>The RP255 is the only one I have to test all settings with &#8211; hit me an email if you&#8217;d like to help to test with your other DigiTech RP series multi-effects pedal! Fortunately, the RP presets are all plain, human-readable XML, so it&#8217;s quite easy &#8211; can&#8217;t say the same about other brand patch files.<\/p>\n<p>If you have trouble opening patch files from your stock browser, use Firefox for Android. I found the Samsung Galaxy Note stock browser, for example, will rename any unknown files to *.bin.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I have a sample patch file &#8211; this is my current go-to metal patch, called &#8220;TAPMET&#8221;. It&#8217;s a high-gain balls-out metal patch with an interesting twist &#8211; the expression pedal is set to control equalizer mid levels.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.glaringnotebook.com\/tapmet.rp255p\">TAPMET<\/a><\/b> &#8211; click to download!<\/p>\n<p>So if you push the expression pedal down at the heel, you get scooped mids (bass: 0, mid: -12, treble: 0) for some crunchy thrash metal rhythm, and when you push the expression pedal forward at the toe, you get a searing hot tone (bass: 0, mid: 12, treble: 0) for some tasty lead solos!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(This post was edited 0209 hours 5th March 2012 +0800 GMT for Version 1.1.)
