You are now the proud owner of the Crate GLX50 guitar amplifier. This unique amplifier allows two players to play simultaneously, making it perfect for students, band practices, and live performances. An easy to operate DSP section lets you dial in a variety of digital effects such as delay, flange, chorus and reverb. RCA inputs with a level control allow you to play along with a compact disc, a tape, or a drum machine. The active electronic tuner allows for perfect tuning and is switchable for use on either of the two channels. Like all Crate products, your GLX50 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 The Digital Signal Processor: Crate’s Digital Signal Processing offers eight exciting digital effects, accessible through the DSP Mode control. The effects are described below. 1 Bypass - no effect 2 Delay 1 - short delay effect 3 Delay 2 - long delay effect 4 Flange - light flanging effect 5 Chorus 1 - slow chorus effect 6 Chorus 2 - fast chorus effect 7 Chorus + Reverb - slow chorus with reverberation 8 Reverb 1 - small room reverberation 9 Reverb 2 - large hall reverberation Use the Mode control to select the effect and the Level control to mix in the desired amount of each effect. 3 GLX50 Guitar Amplifier with Digital Signal Processing The Front Panel: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NOTE: Channel A and Channel B are independent of each other up to the DSP and CD inputs. The text below (#1–10) applies to both channels. 1. INPUT: Use this 1/4” jack to connect your guitar to the amplifier by means of a shielded instrument cable. 2. TUNER A / TUNER B: Use this switch to assign the electronic tuner (#16) to Channel A (switch in the out position) or Channel B (switch depressed). 3. CLEAN: Use this control to adjust the output level of the Clean channel. 4. CLEAN / OVERDRIVE: Use this switch to select the Clean channel (switch in the out position) or the Overdrive channel (switch depressed). 5. OD GAIN: Use this control to adjust the Overdrive channel’s input signal gain. This control works in conjuntion with the OD Level control (#9) to set the amount of distortion and the output signal level of the Overdrive channel. 6. HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency level of the output signal. This control has a range of 27dB of boost or cut at 12kHz. 7. MID: Use this control to adjust the midrange frequency level of the output signal. This control has a range of 20dB of boost or cut at 1.5kHz. 8. LOW: Use this control to adjust the low frequency level of the output signal. This control has a range of 28dB of boost or cut at 40Hz. 9. OD LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the Overdrive channel’s output signal level. This control works in conjunction with the OD Gain control (#5). 10. EFFECTS: Use this control to adjust the amount of digital effects applied to the output signal. 4 GLX50 Guitar Amplifier with Digital Signal Processing 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 11. DSP MODE: Use this control to select one of the eight built-in digital effects. A listing of the effects is printed below the control knob. A brief description of these effects is shown on page 3 of this manual. 12: DSP LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output level of the digital effect: in its fully counterclockwise position the signal will be “dry” (without any effect). As you rotate the control clockwise the amount of effect increases. 13. CD INPUT LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the input level of the signal from the CD Input jacks (#14). 14. CD INPUT JACKS: Use these jacks to connect the output of a CD player, tape deck or drum machine to the amplifier. The jacks are internally summed to create a mono signal. 15. HEADPHONES: Use these jacks to connect one or two pairs of stereo headphones to the amplifier. Each Headphones jack monitors the signal from both Channel A and Channel B. The internal speaker is disconnected when the Headphone jacks are used. 16. ELECTRONIC TUNER: The electronic tuner is active whenever the amplifier is turned on, providing constant, “real-time” tuning. The bottom row of LEDs indicate 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 is illuminated. 17. LED: This LED illuminates when the amplifier is on. 18: POWER: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on (top of the switch depressed) and off (bottom of the switch depressed). 5 GLX50 Guitar Amplifier with Digital Signal Processing Suggested Settings: CRYSTAL CLEAN: OUT PUNCHY CLEAN: OUT DIRTY PUNCH: IN DIRTY BLUES: IN EDGIE: IN SWEATY METAL: IN ARENA METAL: IN MAMMOTH METAL: IN 6 GLX50 Guitar Amplifier with Digital Signal Processing System Block Diagram: CHANNEL A: INPUT OD GAIN LEVEL OD LEVEL EFFECTS HIGH MID LOW CLEAN TUNER OVERDRIVE DSP A BC D EF G LEVEL MODE CHANNEL B: INPUT OD GAIN LEVEL OD LEVEL EFFECTS HIGH MID LOW CLEAN OVERDRIVE POWER AMP SPEAKER MIX STAGE CD INPUTS HEAD PHONES LEVEL 7 GLX50 Guitar Amplifier with Digital Signal Processing GLX50 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Output Power Rating 50 watts RMS @5% THD, 4 ohm load Maximum Input Signal Accepted 5 volts peak-to-peak Total System Gain 70dB, all controls @10 Clean Channel Overdrive Channel Input Impedance 110dB, all controls @10 270k ohm Tone Controls Low 28dB range @ 40Hz Mid 20dB range @ 1.5kHz High 27dB range @ 12kHz CD Inputs Maximum signal level 7.75V rms Headphones Minimum impedance 32 ohms Internal Speaker 12” Crate Custom, 4 ohms, 1.5” voice coil, 30 oz. magnet Input Power Requirements 120 VAC, 60Hz, 75VA 100/115VAC, 50/60Hz, 75VA 230VAC, 50/60Hz, 75VA Size and Weight 19” H x 19-3/8” W x 9-1/2” D, 28 lbs.
