OWNER’S MANUAL

Congratulations!

You are now the proud owner of the versatile and powerful Crate GX-60C amplifier with Stereo Chorus. With two flexible channels, Crate’s patented “Flex Wave” distortion circuitry, a Stereo Effects Loop and three footswitchable functions, the GX-60C offers you more flexibility and performance than any amplifier in its class.

Like all Crate products, your GX-60C is Musician Made in the U.S.A., using only the best components. Extensive testing at the hands (and ears) of skilled technicians and musicians insures you 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 go over the information contained in this manual before you begin playing.

And thank you for choosing

FRONT PANEL:

1: INPUT: Connect your guitar here using a shielded instrument cable.

CHANNEL A: A high gain channel giving you sounds from a slight edge to serious overdrive.

2:GAIN: Sets the amount of compression and distortion from the amplifier. At far left, the sound will have a thick compressed quality. As you turn the control to the right the amount of distortion increases. Use this along with the Shape and Level controls (#3 and 7) to create a wide variety of sounds.

3:SHAPE: Rotate the Shape control until you find the sound you’re looking for. Turning the control towards the left enhances the mid frequencies; turning it to the right enhances the low and high frequencies. Controlled by the Shape Active switch (#4).

4:SHAPE ACTIVE: Boosts the gain of Channel A and activates the Shape control (#3). A footswitch (see #29, rear panel) overrides this switch.

5:LOW: Adjusts the low frequency output level: to the left reduces the low frequency output; to the right increases it. This control allows a range of 10dB at 80Hz.

6:HIGH: Adjusts the high frequency output level: to the left reduces the high frequency output, to the right increases it. This control allows a range of 10dB at 7kHz.

7:LEVEL: Sets the output volume level from Channel A: in the far-left position there is no output; turning the control to the right increases the output. Use this control along with the Gain and Shape controls (#2 & 3) to create a wide variety of sounds.

8:CHANNEL SELECT: When this switch is pressed in Channel A is engaged. Channel B is selected when this switch is out. A footswitch (see #29, rear panel) overrides this switch. The adjacent LEDs indicate which channel is selected.

CHANNEL B: A normal gain channel designed to give you crystal clear sounds.

9:LEVEL: Sets the output volume level from Channel B: in the far-left position there is no output; turning the control to the right increases the output level.

10:LOW: Adjusts the low frequency output level: to the left reduces the low frequency output; to the right increases it. This control allows a range of 20dB at 100Hz.

11:MID: Adjusts the mid frequency output level: to the left reduces the midrange output; turning it to the right increases it. This control allows a range of 14dB at 700Hz.

12:HIGH: Adjusts the high frequency output level: to the left reduces the high frequency output; to the right increases it. This control allows a range of 27dB at 10kHz.

13:REVERB A: Adjust the amount of reverb for Channel A with this control: in the full-left position the output signal is “dry” (no reverb); rotating the control to the right increases the amount of effect.

14:REVERB B: Adjust the amount of reverb for Channel B with this control: in the full-left position the output signal is “dry” (no reverb); rotating the control to the right increases the amount of effect.

15:INSERT LOOP: Connect an external effects device via this jack. Use a stereo 1/4” male Y-cord: ring = send, tip = return, sleeve = ground. See the illustration on the panel to the right for more information.

16:CHORUS ON/OFF: Turn the Chorus/Expander on and off with this switch. When the switch is pressed in, the Chorus/Expander is active. A footswitch (see #28, rear panel) overrides this switch.

17:CHORUS/EXPANDER: Select between the built-in stereo chorus or the “expander” circuit with this switch. When the switch is pressed in, the chorus section is selected. (The yellow LED next to the Depth control, #18, will glow when the Chorus is selected.) When the switch is out, the amplifier’s expander circuit is activated, giving the sound a wide-open, “spatial” effect. In order for either effect to be active, the Chorus On/Off switch (#16) must be pressed in.

18:DEPTH: Set the intensity of the chorus effect with this control: in the far left position there will be almost no chorus; as you rotate the control to the right the amount of effect increases.

19:RATE: Set the speed of the chorus effect with this control: to the left for slow, smooth “phasing” sounds, to the right for faster “vibrato” sounds.

20:POWER LED: Glows when the amplifier is turned on.

21:POWER SWITCH: Turns the amplifier ON in the up position, off in the down position. The POWER LED (#20) works with this switch as a visual indicator.
