RFX200S Three-Channel Guitar Amplifier with Stereo DSP  
Congratulations!  
You are now the proud owner of the Crate RFX200S 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 RFX200S 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.  
CRATE  
And thank you for choosing

loops, allowing you to silently tune or switch instruments. The adjacent LED illuminates when the  
Mute function is active.  
21: TUNER: The electronic tuner is active whenever the amplifier is turned on, providing constant,  
“real time” tuning. The bottom row of LEDs indicate which note (string) is being tuned. The top row  
of LEDs provides directional queues to facilitate quick and precise tuning of your instrument. The  
indicated note (string) is properly tuned when only the center LED is illuminated.  
22. EFFECTS: Use this control to select one of the fifteen digital effects. Complete information about  
the DSP effects is on page 7.  
23. DELAY: Use this control to select one of the fifteen digital delay effects. Complete information  
about the DSP effects is on page 7.  
24: SAVE/TAP: Use this pushbutton to set the tempo of many of the effects by tapping the button  
repeatedly in time with the desired tempo. The Save/Tap button is also used to save DSP presets  
and to restore the factory default DSP settings. Additional information about the Save/Tap button is  
on pages 7 and 8.  
25: SAVE/TAP LED: This LED flashes in time with the tempo set by the Save/Tap button (#4) and  
serves as a status indicator for certain DSP activities (see page 8).  
26: REVERB: Use this control to adjust the amount of the digital reverb effect. In its fully counter  
clockwise position the signal is “dry” (without any reverb). As you rotate the control clockwise the  
amount of reverb increases. The Reverb setting may be saved as a channel preset - see page 8.

of the switch depressed. The switch illuminates when the power is on.  
28: AC LINE CORD (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 bot-  
tom panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.  
29: SPEAKER OUTPUTS: Use these jacks to connect the amplifier to the speakers. The RFX200S is shipped from  
the factory with a cable from each channel connected to the speakers within the cabinet. Additional speakers may  
be connected providing the four ohm minimum load rating for these jacks is observed. When using the stereo  
Chorus effect the right channel is dry and the left channel is detuned (wet). Each channel will provide 70 watts RMS  
into an eight ohm load and 100 watts RMS into a four ohm load.  
30: STEREO EFFECTS LOOP RETURN: When using a stereo external effects processor, connect this jack to the  
output jack of the effect by means of a shielded three conductor signal cable terminated with a stereo (R/T/S) 1/4”  
connector.  
31: STEREO EFFECTS LOOP SEND: When using a stereo external effects processor, connect this jack to the  
input jack of the effect by means of a shielded three conductor signal cable terminated with a stereo (R/T/S) 1/4”  
connector.  
32: MONO EFFECTS LOOP RETURN: When using a mono external effects processor, connect this jack to the  
output jack of the effect by means of a shielded signal cable.  
33: MONO EFFECTS LOOP SEND: When using a mono external effects processor, connect this jack to the input  
jack of the effect by means of a shielded signal cable.  
34: FOOTSWITCH: Use this jack to connect the footswitch cable (5-conductor midi cable) to the four-button  
footswitch (supplied). This allows you to remotely switch between the channels, set tap tempos, save new presets,  
and access a second set of DSP presets. (See page 9 for additional information.)

RFX200S Three-Channel Guitar Amplifier with Stereo DSP  
Storing Your Own Presets:  
Each channel of the RFX200S has two factory assigned DSP presets, as shown on  
pages 10 and 11. No matter what the settings of the DSP controls, the preset is recalled  
when a channel is selected. You may change the DSP settings by rotating the DSP con-  
trols - these changes will remain active until a different channel is selected, but will not  
be there for later use unless they are saved. To save a new DSP preset to a channel,  
first make the desired DSP changes. Then press and hold the Save/Tap button for about  
three seconds. The Save/Tap LED will flash through three quick sequences, indicating  
the preset was saved. The new preset is stored for that channel and will remain in mem-  
ory until a new preset is stored for that channel or the factory presets are restored.  
We recommend making copies of page 14 of this guide for the purpose of writing down your own presets.

Restoring the Factory Presets:  
The factory assigned DSP presets may be restored, erasing any changes you have  
made. Turn the amplifier off. Press and hold the Save/Tap button as you turn the amplifi-  
er on. The Save/Tap LED will flash through two quick sequences, indicating the factory  
presets have been restored.  
More About the Save/Tap Button:  
The Save/Tap button is used to set the tempo of an effect by pressing it twice within  
a one second time frame. The time between the two taps sets the timing of the effect. If  
the Save/Tap button is pressed an odd number of times (once, three times, etc.), the tim-  
ing will default to the maximum one second time period.  
The Effects and the Delays may each have a different tap speed. The default “target”  
for the Save/Tap button is the Delay control. To select the Effects control as the tap but-  
ton’s target, rotate the Effects control. The Save/Tap tempo function will automatically  
revert back to the Delay control 16 seconds after the Effects control is rotated, or when  
the tap speed was last changed for the Effects control.  
NOTE: In most cases, it is usually more pleasing to the ear to set a slower tap speed for the HI effects and  
a faster tap speed for the LO effects.

RFX200S Three-Channel Guitar Amplifier with Stereo DSP  
Using the Footswitch:  
The special Crate four-button footswitch supplied with the RFX200S 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  
RFX200S. A standard 5-wire midi cable (supplied) may be used to connect the  
footswitch to the amplifier.  
STEREO

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.
