GLX50

Guitar Amplifier with Digital Signal Processing

Congratulations!

You are now the proud owner of the Crate GLX50 guitar amplifier. This unique amplifier

allows two players to play simultaneously, making it perfect for students, band practices,
and live performances. An easy to operate DSP section lets you dial in a variety of digital
effects such as delay, flange, chorus and reverb. RCA inputs with a level control allow you
to play along with a compact disc, a tape, or a drum machine. The active electronic tuner
allows for perfect tuning and is switchable for use on either of the two channels.

Like all Crate products, your GLX50 amplifier is designed by musicians, and built using only

the best components. Extensive testing confirms 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 read the infor-

mation contained in this manual before you begin playing.
