Congratulations

!

You are now the proud owner of the Crate VTX200 three-channel guitar amplifier

with Stereo Digital Signal Processing (DSP). This rugged amplifier combines out-
standing features with serious clean and distorted sounds. Dual DSP controls provide
15 “Must Have” effects and 15 Delay effects which can be combined for a wide variety
of sounds. The Save/Tap button allows you to manually set the tempo of many of the
effects and to save new DSP presets in the amplifier’s non-volatile memory. A sepa-
rate Reverb control adds even more to the array of effects. Channel switching and
DSP may be controlled by means of a footswitch, which also allows access to two DSP
presets on each of the three channels. Stereo and Mono Effects Loops allow you to
connect additional effects for even greater flexibility. The electronic tuner (with a Mute
switch for silent tuning) lets you get tuned and stay in tune any time the amplifier is on.

Like all Crate products, your VTX200 amplifier 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 suggest that you read

the information contained in this guide before you begin playing.

And  thank you for choosing
