Digital Signal Processor, Channel Tracking

FXT65 Guitar Amp with DSP & Channel Tracking

The Digital Signal Processor:

The FXT65’s Digital Signal Processor provides 16 exciting digital effects. Use the DSP Selector control to choose the desired effect, then use the DSP Level control to mix in the desired amount of effect.

The effects are described below:

FLNG 1	slow deep flange + reverb
FLNG 2	flange + reverb + delay
CHO 1	slow tremolo chorus + reverb
CHO 2	chorus + reverb + delay
RTRY	simulated rotary speaker effect
OCTV DOWN	adds a signal one octave lower than input
T-WAH	touch sensitive wah-wah effect
I-WAH	inverse wah-wah effect
DOUBLER	simulated second track, slightly out of sync
REV (1)	small room reverb
REV (2)	medium room reverb
REV (3)	large room reverb
REV (4)	concert hall reverb
DLY (1)	short slapback + small room reverb
DLY (2)	medium delay + plate reverb
DLY (3)	long delay + large room reverb

Channel Tracking:

The FXT65 gives you the power of Channel Tracking! Once you select a DSP setting for each chan- nel, Channel Tracking recalls those DSP setting automatically – without changing the DSP controls!

For example:

•Select the Clean channel. Set the DSP Selector to “FLNG 1”(slow flange + reverb)

•Select the Overdrive channel, Gain 1. Set the DSP Selector to “CHO 1”(slow chorus + reverb) (the setting

for the Clean channel is now saved to memory)

•Select the Overdrive channel, Gain 2. Set the DSP Selector to “T-WAH”(touchwah-wah)(the setting for

the Overdrive channel, Gain 1 is now saved to memory)

•Reselect the Clean channel (the setting for the Overdrive channel, Gain 2 is now saved to memory)

Now when you go back to the Clean channel, even though the DSP Selector was last set to “T-WAH,” Channel Tracking automatically recalls the last setting for the Clean channel – in this example, “FLNG 1.” Change to the Overdrive channel, Gain 1, and “CHO 1” is recalled. Change to the Overdrive chan- nel, Gain 2, and “T-WAH” is recalled. That’s the power ofChannel Tracking!

(Note: Even when the power is turned off, Channel Tracking still retains the settings – until you change them!)
