GTX65 The DSP Section: The GTX65 features DSP controls for Multi, Delay and Reverb. Complete information about the Multi and Delay effects is given below. The Multi control selects the “pitch modified” and wah effects. Many of these effects have their speed controlled by the Save/Tap button. The Delay control selects the delay or echo effects.
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.
GTX65 Using the Footswitch for More Presets: The Crate three-button footswitch supplied with the GTX65 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.
