12: AC LINE IN: (Rear panel, not shown) 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.
Getting Your Sound: The Level, Gain and Master
Level controls (#2, 3 & 4) can be used together to create a wide variety of sounds. The following guidelines
will help you achieve your desired sound.
Clean Sounds: Set the Gain control to “OFF” (fully
counterclockwise position). Use the Master Level control to set the output level.
“Crunch” Sounds: Set the Level control to 11 o’clock
and the Gain to 9 o’clock. Use the Master Level control
to set the output level. (The Master Level control should
be adjusted to a lower setting as the Level and Gain
controls are increased.)
Rhythm Sounds: Set the Level control around 11
o’clock and the Gain at or near “10”. Use the Master
Level control to set the output level.
Lead Sounds: Set the Level and Gain controls at or near
“10”. Use the Master Level control to set the output level.
Connecting to the Insert Jack: Use Crate’s STP201,
STP202 or STP203 stereo-to-mono Y-cord or an
adapter such as Crate’s YPP117 and 2 1/4” mono signal cables to connect to the effect as shown:

1: INPUT: Use this jack to connect your instrument to
the amplifier by means of a shielded instrument cable.
2: OD LEVEL: Use this control to increase the volume
and add “crunch” to your sound. This control is only
active when the OD Gain control (#3) is turned on. (For
more information please see the section entitled
“Getting Your Sound.”)
3: OD GAIN: Use this control in conjunction with the OD
Level control (#2) to add distortion to your sound. (For
more information please see the section entitled
“Getting Your Sound.”) At the fully counterclockwise
position the OD channel is turned off.
4: CLEAN MASTER LEVEL: Use this control to set the
overall output level of the amp. (For more information
please see the section entitled “Getting Your Sound.”)
5: EQ LOW: Use this control to adjust the output level of
the low frequencies. Rotating this control counterclockwise reduces the low frequency output; rotating it clockwise increases it.
6: EQ MID: Use this control to adjust the output level of
the midrange frequencies. Rotating this control counterclockwise reduces the midrange frequency output; rotating it clockwise increases it.
7: EQ HIGH: Use this control to adjust the output level
of the high frequencies. Rotating this control counterclockwise reduces the high frequency output; rotating it
clockwise increases it.
8: INSERT: Use this jack to connect an external effects
to the amplifier. Use a stereo 1/4” male Y-cord: ring =
send, tip = return, sleeve = ground. Send goes to the
effect’s input; return comes from its output. (For more
information please see the section entitled “Connecting
to the Insert Jack.”)
9:
(HEADPHONES): Use this jack to connect a pair
of stereo headphones for private listening. The internal
speaker is disconnected when headphones are in use.
10: ON: This LED illuminates when power is applied to
the amplifier.
11: POWER: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on and
off.
