GTX120/212 Guitar Amplifierwith
DSP & ChannelTracking
Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the Crate GTX120/212 amplifier. This rugged amplifier 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. Crate’s uniqueChannel Tracking feature 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 suppliedthree-button footswitch allows you to select channels, change the overdrive gain, and turn the DSP on and off by “remote control.”Like all Crate products, your GTX120/212 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 urge you to read the information contained in this manual before you begin playing.
And thank you for choosingCRATE.

desired amount of each effect.
Channel Tracking:
Your Crate GTX120/212 gives you the power of Channel Tracking! Once you select a DSP setting for each channel, Channel Tracking recalls those DSP settings automatically – without changing the DSP controls! For example:
•Select the Clean channel. Set the DSP Mode to “8”(slow deep flange w/reverb)
•Select the Rhythm/Solo channel, Gain 1. Set the DSP Mode to “10”(slow chorus w/reverb)
(the setting for the Clean channel is now saved to memory)
• Select the Rhythm/Solo channel, Gain 2. Set the DSP Mode to “14”(touch wah)
(the setting for the Rhythm/Solo channel, Gain 1 is now saved to memory)
• Reselect the Clean channel (the setting for the Rhythm/Solo 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 “14” (touch wah), Channel Tracking automatically recalls the last setting for the Clean channel – in this example, “8” (slow flange). Change to the Rhythm/Solo channel, Gain 1, and “10” (chorus) is recalled. Change to the Rhythm/Solo channel, Gain 2, and “14” (touch wah) is recalled. That’s the power of Channel Tracking!
(Note: Even when the power is turned off, Channel Tracking still retains the settings – untilyou change them!)

1: INPUT: Use this 1/4” jack to connect your guitar to the amplifier by means of a shielded instrument cable.
RHYTHM/SOLO CHANNEL: A high gain channel giving you sounds from a slight edge to serious overdrive.
2:RHYTHM GAIN 1: Use this control to adjust the amount of light distortion for the Rhythm/Solo channel. Gain 1 produces less intense distortion than Gain 2 (#3) and is active when the Rhythm/Solo Gain switch (#5) is in the out position.
3:SOLO GAIN 2: Use this control to adjust the amount of heavy distortion for the Rhythm/Solo channel. Gain 2 produces more intense distortion than Gain 1 (#2) and is active when the Rhythm/Solo Gain switch (#5) is depressed.
4:SHAPE: Use this control to “dial in” the tone for the Rhythm/Solo channel when Gain 2 is selected. Rotating the control counterclockwise enhances the mid frequencies, while rotating the control clockwise enhances the low and high frequencies.
5:RHYTHM/SOLO SWITCH: Use this switch to select which gain control is active for the Rhythm/Solo channel. With the switch in the out position, Gain 1 (Rhythm) is selected. When the switch is depressed, Gain 2 (Solo) is selected.
6:LOW: Use this control to adjust the low frequency level of the Rhythm/Solo channel.
7:HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency level of the Rhythm/Solo channel.
8:LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output level of the Rhythm/Solo channel.
9:CHANNEL SWITCH: Use this switch to select the desired channel. With the switch in the out position, the Clean channel is selected. When the switch is depressed, the Rhythm/Solo channel is selected.
CLEAN CHANNEL: A normal gain channel designed to give you sounds from crystal clear to medium distortion.
10:LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output level of the Clean channel.
11:LOW: Use this control to adjust the low frequency level of the Clean channel.
12:MID: Use this control to adjust the midrange frequency level of the Clean channel.
13:HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency level of the Clean channel.
14:DSP LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the amount of digital effect: in its fully counterclockwise position the signal will be “dry” (without any effect). As you rotate the control clockwise the amount of effect increases.
15:DSP MODE: Use this control to select one of the 16
built-in digital effects. The effects are shown on page 3.GTX120/212 Guitar Amplifierwith

16:INSERT: Use this jack to connect an external effects device to the amplifier. Use a stereo 1/4” male Y connector: ring = send, tip = return, sleeve = ground. (Refer to the illustration at the bottom of page 5.)
17:EXTERNAL SPEAKER: Use this jack to connect an external speaker to the amplifier. This jack is wired in series with the internal speaker(s) which remain active when an external speaker is connected.
18:POWER: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on (top of the switch depressed) and off (bottom of the switch depressed). The switch is illuminated when the amplifier is on.
19:AC LINE CORD (rear panel, not shown): This grounded power cord is to be plugged into a grounded power outlet, wired to current electrical codes and compatible with the voltage, power, and frequency requirements stated on the rear panel.Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.
20:FUSE (rear panel, not shown): The fuse protects the amplifier from damages caused by a faulty AC power source and/or other problems. If the fuse opens, replace it ONLY with the same size and type. If fuses continue to fail, check the AC source – if the source is okay, contact your Crate dealer for service information.
21:CHANNEL SELECT / GAIN FOOTSWITCH JACK (rear panel, not shown): Use this jack to connect the 1/4” stereo plug on the footswitch cable to the
three-button footswitch (supplied). This allows you to remotely switch between the Clean and Rhythm/Solo channels and between Rhythm Gain 1 and Solo Gain 2 of the Rhythm/Solo channel.22:REVERB FOOTSWITCH JACK (rear panel, not shown): Use this jack to connect the 1/4” mono plug on the footswitch cable to the
three-button footswitch (supplied). This allows you to remotely turn the DSP function on and off.CONNECTING TO THE INSERT JACK:
The Insert jack (#16) allows you to patch an external effects device into the amplifier prior to its power amp stage. Use Crate’s STP201, STP202 or STP203
stereo-to-mono Y cord or an adapter such as Crate’s YPP117 and two 1/4” mono signal cables to connect the effect as shown in the adjacent illustration.Stereo-to-mono Y-cord: Y-adapter and 2 cables:to Insert
