    GTX65 Storing Your Own Presets: Each channel of the GTX65 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.
