Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the compact but powerful Crate MX15R amplifier. Two versatile channels – one crystal clear and the other with our patented “Flex-Wave” distortion – combined with reverb and a three-band EQ offer you more flexibility and performance than any amp
in its class. Our “Flex Wave” circuitry uses sequential cascading gains to deliver distortion which
is rich in harmonics and is touch sensitive. A special damping circuit simulates the “current
source” type of output of a tube amp, giving you solid state reliability combined with classic tube
sounds.
Like all Crate products, your MX15R 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 the information contained in this manual before you begin playing.
And thank you
for choosing
Important Safeguards and Precautions:
3
All Crate products are designed for continuous safe operation.
Abiding by the following rules can help prevent damage to your
amplifier, yourself and others.
• The amplifier is equipped with a three-pronged AC power
cord. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, NEVER remove
or otherwise attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power
cord.
• Connect the amplifier ONLY to a properly grounded AC
outlet of the proper voltage for your amp.
• Avoid sudden temperature extremes, rain and moisture.
Also, avoid sudden and intense impact. (If the unit has
been subjected to any of the preceding abuses, have it
looked at by an authorized service center.)
• Do not expose the unit to splashing or dripping liquid. Do
not place liquid filled objects on the unit.
• NEVER set the amplifier on a support that will not bear its
weight.
• Always keep the total speaker impedance at or above the
rated load.
• Unplug the amplifier before cleaning it. NEVER spray liquid
cleaners onto the amplifier. Wipe it with a slightly dampened, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and film.
• DO NOT use the amplifier if it has sustained damage to the
chassis, controls, or power cord. Refer the unit to an
authorized service center for inspection.
• Prolonged exposure to high volume levels may cause permanent hearing loss or damage. Such damage is progressive and irreversible!
