Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of the Crate GLX1200H three-channel guitar amplifier. This rugged amp head 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. Crates unique Channel Trackingfeature 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 between the three channels and turn the DSP on and off by remote control. The electronic tuner on the front panel lets you get tuned and stay in tune any time the amplifier is on. Like all Crate products, your GLX amplifier is designed by musicians, and built using only the best com- ponents. 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 information contained in this manual before you begin playing.

The Digital Signal Processor: Crates Digital Signal Processing offers 16 exciting digital effects, accessible through the DSP Mode control. The effects are described below. 3 Channel T racking: Your Crate GLX1200H amplifier gives you the power of Channel Tracking!Once you select a DSP setting for each channel, Channel Tracking recalls those DSP settings automatically -“ with- out changing the DSP controls! For example: -Select the Clean channel. Set the DSP Mode to 8 (slow deep flange w/reverb) -Select the Overdrive channel, Gain 1. Set the DSP Mode to 10 (slow tremolo chorus w/reverb) (the setting for the Clean channel is now saved to memory) -Select the Overdrive channel, Gain 2. Set the DSP Mode to 14 (touch wah) (the setting for the Overdrive channel, Gain 1 is now saved to memory) - Reselect the Clean channel (the setting for the Overdrive channel, Gain 2 is now saved to memory) Now when you go back to the Clean channel, even though the DSP Mode was last set to Touch Wah, Channel Tracking automatically recalls the last setting for the Clean channel -“ in this exam- ple, Slow Flange with Reverb. Change to the Overdrive channel, Gain 1, and Slow Tremolo Chorus w/Reverb is recalled. Change to the Overdrive channel, Gain 2, and Touch Wah is recalled. Thats the power of Channel Tracking! (Note: Even when the power is turned off, Channel Trackingstill retains the settings -“ until youchange them!)
