GTX65 Three-Channel Guitar Amplifier with Advanced DSP

Storing Your Own Presets:

Each channel of the GTX65 has two factory assigned DSP presets, as shown on

pages 10 and 11. No matter what the settings of the DSP controls, the preset is recalled when a channel is selected. You may change the DSP settings by rotating the DSP con- trols - these changes will remain active until a different channel is selected, but will not be there for later use unless they are saved. To save a new DSP preset to a channel, first make the desired DSP changes. Then press and hold the Save/Tap button for about three seconds. The Save/Tap LED will flash through three quick sequences, indicating the preset was saved. The new preset is stored for that channel and will remain in mem- ory until a new preset is stored for that channel or the factory presets are restored.

We recommend making copies of page 14 of this manual for the purpose of writing down your own presets.

Restoring the Factory Presets:

The factory assigned DSP presets may be restored, erasing any changes you have made. Turn the amplifier off. Press and hold the Save/Tap button as you turn the amplifi- er on. The Save/Tap LED will flash through two quick sequences, indicating the factory presets have been restored.

More About the Save/Tap Button:

The Save/Tap button is used to set the tempo of an effect by pressing it twice within a one second time frame. The time between the two taps sets the timing of the effect. If the Save/tap button is pressed an odd number of times (once, three times, etc.), the tim- ing will default to the maximum one second time period.

The Multi effects and the Delay effects may each have a different tap speed. The default “target” for the Save/Tap button is the Delay control. To select the Multi control as the tap button’s target, rotate the Multi control. The Save/Tap tempo function will auto- matically revert back to the Delay control 16 seconds after the Multi control is rotated, or when the tap speed was last changed for the Multi effect.

NOTE: In most cases, it is usually more pleasing to the ear to set a slower tap speed for the HI effects and a faster tap speed for the LO effects.
