Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the Crate BT220H Bass Amplifier. The BT220H features
two different channels: a Distortion channel, featuring Crate’s exclusive Shape control for
quick and easy access to the tone you need, and a Clean channel with a four-band rotary
EQ. Another unique and valuable feature of this amplifier is the Octave control. This feature
electronically creates a second signal that is one octave lower than the original signal. An
active electronic tuner, conveniently located on the front panel, allows you to get in tune and
stay in tune “on the fly.” The Mute switch allows you to tune in silence without changing the
channel Level controls. A built-in Limiter keeps your sound clean even at full output power
levels, and front panel jacks are provided for connecting a CD player and a pair of head-
phones, thereby optimizing your practice time.
Like all Crate products, your BT220H is designed by musicians and built using only the
best components. Extensive testing at the hands (and ears) of skilled technicians and musi-
cians insures you that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be.
In order to get the most out of your new bass amp, we urge you to check out the infor-
mation in this manual before you begin playing.
And thank you for choosing Crate.
