Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of one of the Crate GLX top-of-the-line three-channel guitar
amplifiers. These rugged amplifiers combine outstanding features with serious clean and distorted
sounds. An easy to operate DSP section lets you dial in a variety of digital effects including reverbs,
delays, octave and wah-wahs – with a separate level control. Crate’s unique Channel Tracking fea-
ture means that as you switch between channels and gains, the DSP automatically “tracks” the
changes - your DSP settings for each channel are stored and automatically recalled! The supplied
three-button footswitch allows you to select between the three channels and turn the DSP on and off
by “remote control.” The top-mounted electronic tuner lets you get tuned and stay in tune any time
the amplifier is on.
Like all Crate products, your GLX 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 this user’s guide
before you begin playing.
And thank you for choosing
