ABOUT THE GT-80DSP:
The Crate GT-80DSP QuadraDrive * with Digital Sound Processing is truly unique and versatile,
ottering you more performance and flexibility than any other compact amplifier.
Start with two completely separate preamp stages: Solid State and Tube I hen add the two chan¬
nels: Rhythm and Lead Put them together and you have your choice of some of the hottest contem¬
porary sounds and the coolest vintage sounds available. For example, Solid State Rhythm gives you
‘today's sourd:" crisp highs and an ultra-tight bass response, while Tube Rhythm offers you that vin¬
tage tube sound, from ultra-clean to a bluesy crunch. Solid State Lead gives you all of the traditional
Crate Mega-Gain hard rock sizzle and fire, v/ith lots of definition and compression, and Tube Lead
starts with a bluesy crunch and can deliver everything up to screaming, tube-driven lead distortion with
plenty of sustain and total tone control.
But that's not all. Now add Crate’s easy to operate Digital Sound Processing, with 31 preset ef¬
fects including a variety of delays, backwards sampling, gated outputs and reverbs. Select an effect for
each of the four preamp and channel combinations and the amplifier will ‘remember” each setting and
recall it as you switch between preamps and channels. Add a tootswitch and you can preset I WO set¬
tings per preamp/channel cttoice, for up to 8 instantly accessible effects. And the GT-80DSP's memory
is "non-volatile' which means that orcc you enter your settings. thoy'ro in tho memory until you change
them!
