The Dsp Section - Crate GX-140D Owner's Manual

THE DSP SECTION:

You can program six different effects into your GX-140D:
two for the Clean Channel and four for the Overdrive
Channel. Follow these simple instructions to program
the presets:
PROGRAMMING A PRESET:
1. Select the Clean Channel (the green led will be lit).
2. Turn the Chorus/Expander OFF (button OUT).
3. Turn the DSP Mode knob to the desired effect.
4. You have just stored the effect for the Clean Channel
with Chorus/Expander OFF. You can change the preset
any time by returning to this same channel and Chorus
selection and turning the Mode knob. The new effect
will be stored at this setting until you change it again.
•Every time you select the Clean Channel with the
Chorus/Expander "OFF" the amp recalls this effect. The
"DSP Level" control sets the effect level.
