Crate Amplifiers manual Using the Footswitch, VTX200 Rear Panel

VTX200 Three-Channel Guitar Amplifier with Stereo DSP

Using the Footswitch:

The special Crate four-button footswitch supplied with the VTX200 performs a variety of functions. The footswitch allows remote channel selection, remote Tap/Save for each channel, and allows access to an additional DSP preset for each channel of the amplifier. Use only the supplied Crate four-button momentary footswitch with the VTX200. A standard 5-wire midi cable (supplied) may be used to connect the footswitch to the amplifier.

When the footswitch is connected to the amplifier, the first tap of but- tons 1 - 3 select the corresponding channel. Once a channel is selected, consequent taps of the same button produce the same results as tapping the front panel Save/Tap button – you can use the footswitch to store pre- sets and set the tempo of an effect. (See page 8.)

The “original” DSP presets are active for each channel when the #4 footswitch LED is illuminated. These are referred to as “DSP Bank ‘A’.” When the #4 button is switched and the LED is off, a second DSP preset may be stored and recalled for each channel - “DSP Bank ‘B’.”
