EFFECTS

Each of the digital effects has one or more parameters you can change by using the Effects Adjust control. All of the effects (except the compressor and the Touch Wah) can also be changed by using the Tap function – either through the Keypad, or with the Crate Foot Controller. The chart on the following page lists the effects along with the parameter(s) affected by the Effects Adjust knob and the Tap button.

NOTE: On multi-effects, modulation speed and echo time are set simultaneously by the Tap button.

Bypassing the Effects:

To bypass the digital effects, turn the Effect Adjust control fully counter-clockwise and select the Bypass/Comp effect. (Notice the chart on page 18: There is no compression with the Effect Adjust knob full counter-clockwise, therefore no effects are applied to the signal – thus, “effects bypass.”)
