OWNER'S GUIDE
Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of one of Crate's latest contributions to the world of acoustic
amplification, the CA30/30D. This compact amplifier delivers a strong 30 watts of clear musical
power and incorporates two inputs (each with a gain control), three bands of equalization, plus
Crate's Contour control for added tonal flexibility. The CA30 features a switchable chorus, while the
CA30D features Crate's DSP digital reverb and effects. Both models also feature front panel Insert
(effects loop) and Line Out jacks. An 8" Polypropylene cone coaxial speaker delivers smooth clear
sound with excellent projection and fidelity.
Your CA30/30D is Musician Made in the U.S.A., using only the best components. Extensive test-
ing at the hands (and ears) of skilled technicians and musicians insures you 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 go over the infor-
mation contained in this manual before you begin playing.
And thank you for choosing
