FlexWave65/112 Guitar Amplifier w/DSP and Channel Tracking

Using the Footswitch with the DSP

The Crate three-button footswitch supplied with the FlexWave65/112 allows access to an additional 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. These are referred to as “DSP Bank A.” When the #3 button is switched and the LED is off, a second DSP preset may be stored and recalled for each channel — “DSP Bank B.”

Note: DSP Bank B presets are only accessible when the footswich is connected to the ampli- fier. When the footswitch is not connected, only DSP Bank A is accessible.
