Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the Crate RFX65 three-channel guitar amplifier
with Advanced Digital Signal Processing. This rugged amplifier combines outstanding
features with serious clean and distorted sounds. Dual DSP controls provide 15 “Multi”
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 separate Reverb
control adds even more to the array of effects. Front panel RCA CD Input jacks
allow you to play along with your favorite CD or tape. The rear panel Insert Jack allows
you to connect your effects for greater flexibility. 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. The top-mounted electronic tuner lets you get tuned and
stay in tune any time the amplifier is on.
Like all Crate products, your RFX65 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
.

Storing Your Own Presets:
Each channel of the RFX65 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 Multi effects and the Delay effects may each have a different tap speed. The
default “target” for the Save/Tap button is the Delay control. To select the Multi control as
the tap button’s target, rotate the Multi control. The Save/Tap tempo function will auto-
matically revert back to the Delay control 16 seconds after the Multi control is rotated, or
when the tap speed was last changed for the Multi effect.
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 for More Presets:
The Crate three-button footswitch supplied with the RFX65 allows access to an addi-
tional DSP preset for each channel of the amplifier. When the footswitch is connected to
the amplifier as shown below, the “original” DSP presets are active for each channel
when the #3 footswitch LED is illuminated. These are referred to as “DSP Bank ‘A’.”
When the #3 button is switched and the LED is out, a second DSP preset may be stored
and recalled for each channel - “DSP Bank ‘B’.”
NOTE: DSP Bank “B” presets are only accessible when the footswitch is connected to the amplifier. When
the footswitch is not connected, only DSP Bank “A” is accessable.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
