GLX65/120/212 Guitar Amplifier with DSP & ChannelTracking
Congratulations! |
|
You are now the proud owner of one of the Crate GLX top-of-the-line three-channel guitar |
|
amplifiers. These rugged amplifiers combine outstanding features with serious clean and distorted |
|
sounds. An easy to operate DSP section lets you dial in a variety of digital effects including reverbs, |
|
delays, octave and wah-wahs – with a separate level control. Crate’s unique Channel Tracking fea- |
|
ture means that as you switch between channels and gains, the DSP automatically “tracks” the |
|
changes - your DSP settings for each channel are stored and automatically recalled! The supplied |
|
three-button footswitch allows you to select between the three channels and turn the DSP on and off |
|
by “remote control.” The top-mounted electronic tuner lets you get tuned and stay in tune any time |
|
the amplifier is on. |
|
Like all Crate products, your GLX amplifier is designed by musicians, and built using only the best |
|
components. Extensive testing confirms that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be. |
|
In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly urge you to read this user’s guide |
|
before you begin playing. |
|
And thank you for choosing |

Channel Tracking:
Your Crate GLX amplifier gives you the power of Channel Tracking! Once you select a DSP setting for each channel, Channel Tracking recalls those DSP settings automatically – without changing the DSP controls! For example:
•Select the Clean channel. Set the DSP Mode to “8”(slow deep flange w/reverb)
•Select the Overdrive channel, Gain 1. Set the DSP Mode to “10”(slow tremolo chorus w/reverb)
(the setting for the Clean channel is now saved to memory)
• Select the Overdrive channel, Gain 2. Set the DSP Mode to “14”(touch wah)
(the setting for the Overdrive channel, Gain 1 is now saved to memory)
• Reselect the Clean channel (the setting for the Overdrive channel, Gain 2 is now saved to memory)
Now when you go back to the Clean channel, even though the DSP Mode was last set to Touch Wah, Channel Tracking automatically recalls the last setting for the Clean channel – in this example, Slow Deep Flange with Reverb. Change to the Overdrive channel, Gain 1, and Slow Tremolo Chorus with Reverb is recalled. Change to the Overdrive channel, Gain 2, and Touch Wah is recalled. That’s the power of Channel Tracking!
(Note: Even when the power is turned off, Channel Tracking still retains the settings – until you change them!)
