VTX200 Three-Channel Guitar Amplifier with Advanced DSP
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

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.

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.

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 VTX200 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.)

VTX200 Three-Channel Guitar Amplifier with Stereo DSP
Storing Your Own Presets:
Each channel of the VTX200 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.

Using the Footswitch:
The special Crate four-button footswitch supplied with the VTX200 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
VTX200. A standard 5-wire midi cable (supplied) may be used to connect the
footswitch to the amplifier.

MONO
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.
