This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation

is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may

not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must

accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

The Bottom Panel:

27: FUSE: The fuse protects the amplifier from damages caused by a faulty AC power source and/or other prob-
lems. 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.

28: EXTENSION SPEAKER: Use this jack to connect the amplifier to an external speaker cabinet. This jack is
wired in series with the internal speaker(s) which remain active when an extension speaker is connected.

29: DSP A/B FOOTSWITCH: Use this jack to connect one of the footswitch cables to the three-button footswitch
(supplied). This allows you to select between two presets for each of the three channels. Additional information
about the operation of the footswitch is on page 9.

30: CLEAN/SOLO/RHYTHM 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 and Distortion channels and
between the Solo and Rhythm channels. (See page 9.)

31: 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 con-
nect to the effect as shown below.

32: 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 bot-
tom panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.
