Channel Tracking

FlexWave65/112 Guitar Amplifier w/DSP and Channel Tracking

Your Crate FlexWave65/112 gives you the power of Channel Tracking. Once you select a DSP setting for each channel, Channel Tracking stores the settings to memory whenever you change channels. When you go back to that channel, Channel Tracking recalls those DSP set- tings automatically, without changing the DSP controls!

For example:

•Select the Clean channel. Set the Mod control to “Flanger,” the Delay control to “Medium,” and adjust the Reverb control to your preference.

•Select the Overdrive channel. Set the Mod control to “Chorus,” the Delay control to “Slap,” and readjust the Reverb control to a different setting. (The DSP settings for the Clean channel are now saved to memory.)

•Select the High Gain channel. Set the Mod control to “Phaser,” the Delay control to “Long,” and readjust the Reverb control once again. (The DSP settings for the Overdrive channel are now saved to memory.)

•Reselect the Clean channel. (The DSP settings for the High Gain channel are now saved to memory.)

When you reselected the Clean channel, the DSP settings previously stored in memory were automatically recalled. Switch to the Overdrive channel and the DSP settings you just stored are still there. You can change the DSP settings at any time. Once you set the DSP and select another channel, Channel Tracking stores the settings for you. Even when the amplifier is turned off, the DSP settings are stored and recalled the next time you turn it on. That’s the power of Channel Tracking!

In addition, each channel has two DSP banks, Bank A and Bank B, when you use the supplied three-button footswitch (see page 8 for more information on using the footswitch). Channel Tracking also remembers which DSP bank was selected for each channel.
