GFX-120T/212TGuitar Amps with DSP & Channel Tracking

Congratulations!

You are now the proud owner of the Crate GFX-120T/212T amplifier. This rugged amplifier combines outstanding features with serious clean and distorted sounds. An easy to operate DSP section lets you dial in a variety of digital effects including reverbs, delays, octave and wah-wahs – with a separate level control. Crate’s unique Channel Tracking feature means that as you switch between channels and gains, the DSP automatically “tracks” the changes - your DSP settings for each channel are stored and automatically recalled! The supplied three-button footswitch allows you to select channels, change the overdrive gain, and turn the DSP on and off by “remote control.” The top-mounted electronic tuner lets you get tuned and stay in tune any time the amplifier is on.

Like all Crate products, your GFX-120T/212T is designed by musicians, and built using only the best components. Extensive testing confirms that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be.

In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly urge you to read the informa- tion contained in this manual before you begin playing.

And thank you for choosing
