DXJ112 Digital Guitar Amplifier

Using a MIDI Footswitch:

You can store and recall a total of 128 presets when using a MIDI footswitch. These presets are accessed by MIDI program numbers 0 through 127. (Also, see the MIDI Implementation Chart, Appendix B, page 27.)

!WARNING: The MIDI In/Crate Foot Controller button must be in the OUT position for MIDI operation. (The IN position applies power to the Crate Foot Controller which could cause damage to a different type of MIDI footswitch.)

Using the Crate Foot Controller:

The optional Crate Foot Controller (model DXFC) lets you store and recall a total of 128 presets and allows foot control of the tap tempo function. The controller gets its power straight from the amplifier, so no external power source or batteries are needed!

Plug the connecting cable into the MIDI In/Foot Switch jack and set the MIDI In/Crate Foot Controller button to the IN (foot controller) position. This applies the power needed for the Crate Foot Controller.

(See the Foot Controller’s User’s Guide for more complete information – when you get one!)

The MIDI Thru/Out Jack:

The MIDI Out/Thru jack lets you control other MIDI devices with the Foot Controller. Connect this jack to the MIDI In jack of the device you wish to control.

The MIDI Thru works with either a standard MIDI input (footswitch) or with the Crate Foot Controller plugged into the MIDI In jack, since the Crate Foot Controller sends standard MIDI messages.

The Stereo Headphones Jack:

Plug a pair of stereo headphones into this jack, for private listening. The internal speaker is discon- nected when headphones are used. The headphones signal is speaker compensated for a realistic sound even without a guitar speaker cabinet. Since this amp can play LOUD, be careful when using headphones – prolonged exposure to those high dB levels can wreak havoc on your eardrums! (See

warnings and OSHA regulations about noise exposure levels on page ii.)

The Headphones Jack can also be used as a stereo direct out for recording.
