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.

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.
(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.
