25. INSERT:

 Use this jack to connect an 

external signal processor to the amplifier. Use 
Crate’s STP201, STP202, or STP203 stereo-
to-mono Y-cord or an adapter such as Crate’s 
YPP117 and two 1/4" mono signal cables to 
connect to the effect, as shown below.

26. CHANNEL FOOTSWITCH:

 Use this jack 

to connect one of the footswitch cables to the 
three-button footswitch (supplied). This allows 
you to remotely switch between the Clean, 
High Gain, and Overdrive 
channels. Additional infor-
mation about the opera-
tion of the footswitch is 
on page 8.

27. DSP FOOTSWITCH:

 

Use this jack to connect 
one of the footswitch 
cables to the three-but-
ton footswitch (supplied). 
This allows you to select 
between two DSP pre-
sets for each of the three 
channels. Additional infor-
mation about the opera-
tion of the footswitch is 
on page 8.

28. EXTENSION SPEAKER:

 Use this jack 

to connect the amplifier to an external 
speaker cabinet. 

Note:

 The external speaker cabinet should 

have a nominal impedance of 4 ohms or higher.

29. FUSE:

  The fuse protects the amplifier 

from damage caused by a faulty AC power 
source or other problems. If the fuse opens, 
replace it with the same size and type. If 
fuses continue to fail, check the AC source. 

If the source is okay, 
refer to page 12 or con-
tact your Crate dealer 
for service information.

30. POWER CORD:

 

This grounded power 
cord is to be plugged 
into a grounded power 
outlet, wired to current 
electrical codes and 
compatible with the 
voltage, power, and 
frequency requirements 
stated on the rear panel. 

Do not attempt to defeat 
the safety ground con-
nection!
