.

in high school i bought a crate solid-state amplifier…

in 2011 i usurped my 13-year-old cousin matty manning’s crate guitar amplifier…

he didn’t play the guitar any longer…

back during christmas 2005 i had helped the crowleys pick out the amp as a gift to matt while i was working as a guitar salesman…

crate RFX

solo / clean

15-watt amp

SOLO: Gain / Level circle knob

button to switch between “solo” and “clean”

“down” is solo / “up” is clean

so “solo” is a synoym for “distorted”?

and “distorted” is a synoym for “unclean”?

or is rather “clean” a synonym for “clear” while “distorted” is a synonym for “unclear” (or “fuzzy”)

CLEAN: volume knob

EQUALIZATION: low / mid / high

DSP: digital signal processing

(6:00 is “bypass”)

(from clockwise…)

(reverb)

(4 levels of reverb)

(3 levels of delay)

(flanger 1)

(flanger 2)

(chorus 1)

(chorus 2)

(T-wah)

(I-wah)

(doubler)
