JAY HAYES: Hi. I'm Jay Hayes. I bring demo of the VTX 200SH. It's a 200-watt stereo cat with 100 watts per side with stereo effects, three channels, and sounds like this.

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

Very dynamic preamps like if I pull the volume down, I get a nice chimey sound.

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

If I put gain on my guitar, I get this.

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

A bit more.

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

You can put tons of gain on it. That's channel number 1. Channel 2 has the same kind of gain range but a little thick, a little fatter.

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

A bit more gain on my guitar.

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

A bit more gain.

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

A bit more gain.

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

So it's extremely dynamic. Channel 3 is our high-gain channel.

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

Yeah. We also have stereo effects on the amplifier. Channel 1, I've got chorus and delay but what's unique is my head is actually a monophonic dry signal. The chorus is on the delay, so what you hear is this.

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

Channel 2 I have reverb also...,

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

...or a little slapback...

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

...with a tap tempo with my footswitch, so.

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

And channel 3 also has two variations. One is just reverb right now...

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

...or we get a flangey 80s hair man thing.

[JAY HAYES PLAYS GUITAR THROUGH CRATE VTX 200SH]

You get the idea. Built-in tuner, tap tempo, really versatile, great sounding amp, great sounding amp. Very valve-like, maybe better than valve.
