Important Safeguards and Precautions: All Crate products are designed for continuous safe operation. Abiding by the following rules can help prevent damage to your amplifier, yourself and others. The amplifier is equipped with a three-pronged AC power cord. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, NEVER remove or otherwise attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power cord.
The Front Panel: 1: INPUT: Use this 1/4” jack to connect your guitar to the amplifier by means of a shielded instrument cable. OVERDRIVE CHANNEL: A high gain channel giving you sounds from a slight edge to serious overdrive. 2: GAIN 1: Use this control to adjust the amount of light distortion for the Overdrive channel. Gain 1 pro- duces less intense distortion than Gain 2 (#3) and is active when the Gain switch (#5) is in the out position.

If the fuse opens, replace it ONLY with the same size and type. If fuses continue to fail, check the AC source – if the source is okay, contact your Crate dealer for service information.
