 GTX212 Three-Channel Guitar Amplifier with Advanced DSP

Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the Crate GTX212
three-channel guitar amplifier with Advanced Digital Signal
Processing. This rugged amplifier combines outstanding
features with serious clean and distorted sounds. Dual
DSP controls provide 15 “Multi” effects and 15 Delay
effects which can be combined for a wide variety of
sounds. The Save/Tap button allows you to manually set
the tempo of many of the effects and to save new DSP
presets in the amplifier’s non-volatile memory. A separate
Reverb control adds even more to the array of effects.
Front panel RCA CD Input jacks allow you to play along
with your favorite CD or tape. The rear panel Insert Jack
allows you to connect your effects for greater flexibility.
Channel switching and DSP may be controlled by means
of a footswitch, which also allows access to two DSP pre-
sets on each of the three channels.

Like all Crate products, your GTX212 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

suggest that you read the information contained in this guide
before you begin playing.

And thank you for choosing CRATE.

Storing Your Own Presets:

Each channel of the GTX212 has two factory assigned DSP presets, as shown on
pages 10 and 11. No matter what the settings of the DSP controls, the preset is recalled
when a channel is selected. You may change the DSP settings by rotating the DSP con-
trols - these changes will remain active until a different channel is selected, but will not
be there for later use unless they are saved. To save a new DSP preset to a channel,
first make the desired DSP changes. Then press and hold the Save/Tap button for about
three seconds. The Save/Tap LED will flash through three quick sequences, indicating
the preset was saved. The new preset is stored for that channel and will remain in mem-
ory until a new preset is stored for that channel or the factory presets are restored.
We recommend making copies of page 14 of this manual for the purpose of writing down your own presets.

SECONDS

CHANGES ARE
SAVED AS
NEW PRESET

Restoring the Factory Presets:

The factory assigned DSP presets may be restored, erasing any changes you have
made. Turn the amplifier off. Press and hold the Save/Tap button as you turn the amplifi-
er on. The Save/Tap LED will flash through two quick sequences, indicating the factory
presets have been restored.

More About the Save/Tap Button:

The Save/Tap button is used to set the tempo of an effect by pressing it twice within
a one second time frame. The time between the two taps sets the timing of the effect. If
the Save/tap button is pressed an odd number of times (once, three times, etc.), the tim-
ing will default to the maximum one second time period.

The Multi effects and the Delay effects may each have a different tap speed. The
default “target” for the Save/Tap button is the Delay control. To select the Multi control as
the tap button’s target, rotate the Multi control. The Save/Tap tempo function will auto-
matically revert back to the Delay control 16 seconds after the Multi control is rotated, or
when the tap speed was last changed for the Multi effect.

NOTE: In most cases, it is usually more pleasing to the ear to set a slower tap speed for the HI effects and
a faster tap speed for the LO effects.

Using the Footswitch for More Presets:

The Crate three-button footswitch supplied with the GTX212 allows access to an
additional DSP preset for each channel of the amplifier. When the footswitch is connect-
ed to the amplifier as shown below, the “original” DSP presets are active for each chan-
nel when the #3 footswitch LED is illuminated. These are referred to as “DSP Bank ‘A’.”
When the #3 button is switched and the LED is out, a second DSP preset may be stored
and recalled for each channel - “DSP Bank ‘B’.”
NOTE: DSP Bank “B” presets are only accessible when the footswitch is connected to the amplifier. When
the footswitch is not connected, only DSP Bank “A” is accessable.
