Congratulations!

You are now the proud owner of the Crate FXT30 Guitar Amplifier. This

rugged amplifier features a Clean channel with a three band EQ and Level

control, and a Solo channel with our patented FlexWave technology. An easy

to operate DSP section lets you dial in a variety of digital effects including

reverbs, delays, octave and wah-wahs. A Headphones jack lets you practice

in private.

Like all Crate products, your FXT 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 urge you

to read the information contained in this manual before you begin playing.

And thank you for choosing CCRRAATTEE.

The Front Panel:

1: INPUT: Use this 1/4” jack to connect your guitar to

the amplifier by means of a shielded instrument cable.

SOLO CHANNEL: A high gain channel giving you

sounds from a slight edge to serious overdrive.

2: GAIN: Use this control to adjust the amount of dis-

tortion for the Solo channel.

3: SHAPE: Use this control to adjust the tone of the

Solo channel.

4: LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output level

of the Solo channel.

5: SOLO/CLEAN: Use this switch to select the Solo

or Clean channel. With the switch in the out position,

the Clean channel is selected. When the switch is

depressed, the Solo channel is selected.

CLEAN CHANNEL: A normal gain channel designed

to give you crystal clear sounds to medium distortion.

6: VOL: Use this control to adjust the output level of

the Clean channel.

7: LOW: Use this control to adjust the low frequency

level of the clean channel.

8: MID: Use this control to adjust the midrange fre-

quency level of the clean channel.

9: HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequen-

cy level of the clean channel.

10: DSP LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the level of

the selected digital effect. The DSP effects can be

turned on and off by using a footswitch (#16, rear

panel).

11: DSP MODE: Use this control to select one of the

16 built-in digital effects. The numbers around the

control correspond to the digital effects as listed in the

chart below.

12: HEADPHONES: Use this jack to connect head-

phones to the amplifier. The internal speaker is dis-

connected when headphones are used.

CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to your

hearing, do not use headphones for extended

periods of time at extremely loud levels.

13: POWER: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on

(top of the switch depressed) and off (bottom of the

switch depressed). The switch illuminates when the

amplifier is turned on.

The Rear Panel (not shown):

14: EXTENSION SPEAKER: Use this jack to connect

the amplifier to an external speaker. The internal speak-

er is disconnected when this jack is used. The imped-

ance of the external speaker must be 4 ohms or greater.

WARNING: Do not attempt to use headphones in

the Speaker jack! Permanent hearing damage

could result!

15: FOOTSWITCH: Use this jack to connect the 1/4”

stereo plug on the cable of a two-button footswitch

(such as the Crate CFP2). This allows you to remote-

ly switch between the Clean and Solo channels and

turn the DSP effects on and off.

16: POWER CORD: The grounded power cord should

only be plugged into a grounded power outlet that meets

all applicable electrical codes and is compatible with the

voltage, power, and frequency requirements stated on

the rear panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety

ground connection.
