Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the Crate GTX120/212 amplifier. This rugged amplifier com-
bines 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 unique Channel Tracking feature means that as you switch between
channels and gains, the DSP automatically “tracks” the changes - your DSP settings for each chan-
nel are stored and automatically recalled! The supplied three-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 choosing CRATE.
