Page 8: Storing Your Own Presets
VTX212 Storing Your Own Presets: Each channel of the VTX212 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. -

VTX212 Using the Footswitch for More Presets: The Crate three-button footswitch supplied with the VTX65 allows access to an addi- tional DSP preset for each channel of the amplifier. When the footswitch is connected to the amplifier as shown below, the “original” DSP presets are active for each channel when the #3 footswitch LED is illuminated. -
