We at Crate extend our sincere “welcome” into a whole new world: a world where the legendary performance of a musician-made Crate amplifier combines with the wonders of digital amp modeling and effects. We bring you the only amplifier you’ll ever need: the Crate DXJ112. The heart and soul of sixteen different amplifiers have been captured through the miracles of digital software engineering and placed into the DX amplifier. Not only does the amp sound like the originals, it performs like the originals, with the same tones and character of all your favorites – from vintage British grit to today’s heavy metal – with a wide variety in between.

Along with digital amp modeling comes sixteen digital effects, all designed to rock your world from here to Sunday. And, you can tweak each effect to your heart’s content!

Got your own favorite effects? Not to worry – the DX amps have stereo line in and line out jacks for use as a stereo effects loop, or for connecting to an external stereo power amp. It’s like having your cake and eating it, too – with extra icing!

The DX amplifier is programmable and can be controlled in a number of ways, including through the front panel keypad, with the optional Crate Foot Controller, or via MIDI.

Within the pages of this Operating Guide you will find all sorts of per- tinent, useful and sometimes technical information which we at Crate felt you ought to have. Please indulge us a bit and take the time to actually read through this Guide at some point. Until then, for those of you who just can’t wait to plug in and go, we offer you:
