The Rear Panel:
22: INSERT: Use this jack to connect an external effects device 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.
23: CLEAN/SOLO/RHYTHM FOOTSWITCH: Use this jack to connect the 1/4” stereo plug on the
footswitch cable to the three-button footswitch (supplied). This allows you to remotely switch between
the Clean and Distortion channels and between the Solo and Rhythm channels.
24: REVERB FOOTSWITCH: Use this jack to connect the 1/4” mono plug on the footswitch cable to
the three-button footswitch (supplied). This allows you to remotely turn the reverb on and off.
25: SPEAKER: Use this jack to connect the amplifier to your speaker cabinet(s). The minimum
impedance for the cabinet(s) is 4 ohms.
26: FUSE: The fuse protects the amplifier from dam-
ages caused by a faulty AC power source and/or other
problems. If the fuse opens, replace it ONLY with the
same size and type. If fuses continue to fail, check the
AC source – if the source is okay, contact your Crate
dealer for service information.
27: AC LINE 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 con-
nection.
19: GAIN: Use this control to adjust the amount of distortion produced by the Solo channel.
20: SOLO LED: This LED illuminates when the Solo channel is selected.
21: INPUT: Use this jack to connect your guitar to the amplifier by means of a shielded instrument cable.
