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

tings

per

preamp/channel

cttoice,

for

up

to

8

there

is

no

However,

keep

in

that

by

you

raise

which

reduces

:

(Semi-)

Technical

Description:

"IVhatis

reverb,

anyway?"

Imagine

yourself

seated

in

a

small,

lightly

furnished

room,

about

to

enjoy

a

private

performance

by

your

favorite

guitarist.

The

guitarist

picks

up

an

acoustic

guitar

and

sharply

strikes

a

single

chord,

then

immediately

mutes

the

strings

with

his

strumming

hand.

Sound

wavos

instantaneously

travel

from

the

guitar's

sound

hole

through

the

air

to

you

ears,

where

your

brain

processes

the

waves

into

the

musical

sounds

you

krow

so

well.

At

the

same

time,

reflected

sound

waves

are

bouncing

all

around

the

room:

off

the

walls,

ceiling

and

floor,

off

of

the

musician,

off

of

you;

off

of

everything

in

the

room.

These

multiple

reflections

occur

so

fast

and

in

such

large

num¬

bers

that

your

ears

perceive

them

as

one

sound:

reverb.

Without

these

reflections

the

sound

irom

the

guitar

would

seem

lifeless,

dry

and

unnatural.

Different

rooms

produce

different

reflections,

thus

producing

different

sounding

reverbs.

The

same

gui¬

tarists

singfe-chord

performance

in

a

large

concert

hall

would

sound

different

than

it

did

in

the

intimate

surround¬

ings

described

above,

due

to

the

different

reflections

produced

-

thus,

the

dfferent

sounding

reverb.

Wliat

can

be

produced

by

nature

can

be

simulated

through

the

use

of

the

GT

SODSP's

highly

sophis¬

ticated

digital

electronics

circuitry.

The

GT-80DSP

has

many

different

reverbs

available,

as

well

as

some

unique

digital

effects,

not

found

in

nature.
