In the diagram below, the two mono keyboards are both connected into channel 1. The channel 1 pan control lets you adjust the relative level between the two signals. The metronome plugged into channel 3 may be heard through the ampli- fier but not the house sound system if the line out select switch is pressed in. A stereo effects device has been connected to the effects loop, although a mono device can also be used. An additional KX-220 has been connected to the left chan- nel preamp out jack, to achieve a true stereo output.

KX-220 specifications

The Crate Amplifiers KX-220 is a versatile and powerful option designed to meet the needs of musicians across different genres. This amplifier delivers a remarkable blend of quality, performance, and flexibility, making it a sought-after choice for both amateur and professional musicians.

At the heart of the KX-220 is its dual-channel configuration, providing users with the ability to access both clean and distorted tones. The clean channel is designed to offer crystal-clear sound reproduction, perfect for acoustic players or those looking to achieve a pristine sound without any coloration. The lead channel, on the other hand, brings a wealth of distortion options to the table, allowing guitarists to transition smoothly from bluesy overdrive to full-on rock crunch, making it ideal for harder genres such as metal and rock.

One of the standout features of the KX-220 is its built-in digital effects processor. This processor includes a range of effects such as reverb, delay, and chorus, enabling musicians to enhance their sound without the need for additional pedals. The user-friendly interface makes it simple to dial in the desired effects, ensuring that players can focus on their performance rather than complicated setups.

The KX-220 also incorporates advanced tone-shaping capabilities. With its 3-band EQ section, users can gain precise control over the bass, midrange, and treble frequencies. Whether you’re aiming for a thick low-end texture or seeking to cut through a mix with sharp high frequencies, this amplifier adapts to fit your sound requirements.

Durability is another key factor in the design of the KX-220. Built with robust materials, it is equipped to handle the rigors of both practice sessions and live performances. Its sleek design and compact size make it easily portable, allowing musicians to take their sound on the road without hassle.

In terms of connectivity, the KX-220 offers various options, including auxiliary input and headphone output. This ensures that players can practice quietly through headphones or connect additional devices for rehearsals or recording sessions.

In summary, the Crate Amplifiers KX-220 combines quality sound, versatility, and durability, making it an excellent choice for any guitarist looking to elevate their performance. With its dual-channel setup, digital effects, and robust build, it stands out as a reliable companion for musicians seeking to craft their unique sound.
