Hey guys and gals, I recently acquired a rather oversized amp for my wonderful apartment from my brother.
It was free, although the catch is that it's obviously... broken. I swapped out the fuses and that didn't do anything. As you all may know, I'm instrumentally illiterate but I still like to play a small bit. Here's a bit of information on the problem and the amp, I'd appreciate if anyone could point me in some direction:
- It's a Crate GFX-212T 120 Watt Amp
- Has all those nonsense knobs and whatnot with built in DSP or whatever
- The electrical seems to be fine, meaning the amplifier does indeed amplify still sound
- The actual "Input" does not work, however
- In order to play my guitar through it, I've got to plug the guitar in through the "Insert" which I assume is for effects units or pedals or whatnot
- Through "Input" you just get a static noise and the guitar is not amplified
- The "Exit Speaker" port also still works, being that all noise is cut off from the amp when I plug something through that one
Basically I have no idea what I'm doing but I'd really love to mess around with the amp a bit but I can't really do that because I'm instrumentally and guitar retarded. The only amp I've ever used is a little baby 8-inch Crate GX-15 amp which is so incredibly simple to use.
So yeah, this dummy would appreciate your help. Thanks.
