AFIN D'ÉVITER TOUT RISQUE D'INCENDIE OU D'ÉLECTROCUTION. POUR

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 counterclock-

wise reduces the low frequency output; rotating it clock-

wise increases it.

6: EQ MID: Use this control to adjust the output level of

the midrange frequencies. Rotating this control counter-

clockwise reduces the midrange frequency output; rotat-

ing it clockwise increases it.

7: EQ HIGH: Use this control to adjust the output level

of the high frequencies. Rotating this control counter-

clockwise 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.

12: AC LINE IN: (Rear panel, not shown) The ground-

ed 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 frequen-

cy 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 cre-

ate 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 con-

trol 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 sig-

nal cables to connect to the effect as shown:
