Congratulations and thank you for choosing the Crate GLX15 Guitar Amplifier with Digital

Signal Processing. This rugged amplifier combines outstanding features with serious clean and

distorted sounds. An easy to operate DSP section lets you dial in a variety of digital effects

including reverbs, delays, ocatave and wah-wahs. The GLX15 also features an electronic tuner

to help you get tuned and stay in tune – any time the amplifier is on.

Located on the top of the amplifier, the electronic

tuner is active whenever the amp is turned on,

providing constant, “real-time” tuning. The bottom

row of LEDs indicates which note (string) is being

tuned. The top row of LEDs provides directional

queues to facilitate quick and precise tuning of

your instrument. The indicated note (string) is

properly tuned when only the center LED of the

top row is illuminated.

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: LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output level

of the Solo channel.

4: 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.

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

the Clean channel.

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

level of the amplifier.

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

quency level of the amplifier.

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

cy level of the amplifier.

9. DSP: Use this control to select one of the 15 built-in

digital effects. The numbers around the control corre-

spond to the digital effects as listed in the chart below.

10: 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.

11: SPEAKER: Use this jack to connect the amplifier

to an external speaker. The internal speaker is dis-

connected when this jack is used. The impedance 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!

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

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

switch depressed). The adjacent LED illuminates

when the amplifier is turned on.

13: POWER CORD (rear panel, not shown): The

grounded power cord should only be plugged into a

grounded power outlet that meets all applicable elec-

trical codes and is compatible with the voltage, power,

and frequency requirements stated on the rear panel.

Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground con-

nection.
