24. 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.

25. EXTENSION SPEAKER:

 Use this jack 

to connect the amplifier to an external speak-
er cabinet. This jack is wired in series with 
the internal speaker, which remains active 
when an extension speaker is connected.

26. DSP FOOTSWITCH:

 

Use this jack to connect one of the footswitch 
cables to the three-button footswitch (sup-
plied). This allows you to select between two 
DSP presets for each of the three channels. 
Additional information about the operation 
of the footswitch is on 
page 8.

27. CHANNEL 
FOOTSWITCH:

 Use this 

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

28. 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.

29. POWER CORD (not shown):

 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 connection!

30. ELECTRONIC TUNER (cabinet top)

 

The electronic tuner is active whenever the 
amplifier is turned on, providing constant 
“real-time” tuning. The row of red LEDs on 
the left indicates which note is being tuned. 

When a single LED is lit, 
it represents the note 
that appears just below 
the LED. When two LEDs 
are lit, it represents 
the note that appears 
between them in the 
bottom row. The left 
green LED indicates the 
note is flat, and the right 
green LED indicates the 
note is sharp. The note 
is properly tuned when 
both LEDs are lit at the 
same time.
