Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the professional, transportable Crate BFX100T
Bass Amplifier with Digital Signal Processing. The BFX100T offers a wide selection
of digital effects designed specifically for the bass guitar, each of which are easily
accessed with a simple turn of a control knob. The BFX100T features an extended
range low frequency driver, a dome tweeter, an extremely clean power amp, and
an 8-band graphic equalizer. The balanced line out jack has a level control for pre-
cisely matching the signal to a recording console or house PA system, and is selec-

an external speaker add to the overall versatility of the amplifier. The compact cab-
inet features heavy duty recessed side handles, recessed rear wheels, removable
