Crate TIDALWAVE GTX3500H - Using the Footswitch; Footswitch Operation and DSP Banks

Using the Footswitch:
The special Crate four-button footswitch supplied with the GTX3500H 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
GTX3500H. A standard 5-wire midi cable (supplied) may be used to connect the
footswitch to the amplifier.
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 Tap/Save button – you
can use the footswitch to store pre-
sets and set the tempo of an effect.
(See page 8.)
The “original” DSP presets are
active for each channel when the #4
footswitch LED is illuminated. These
are referred to as “DSP Bank ‘A’.”
When the #4 button is switched and
the LED is off, a second DSP preset
may be stored and recalled for each
channel - “DSP Bank ‘B’.”
NOTE: DSP Bank “B” pre-
sets are only accessible
when the footswitch is
connected to the amplifier.
When the footswitch is not
connected, only DSP Bank
“A” is accessible.
