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.
