1: INPUT: Connect your guitar to this jack by means of a shielded instrument cable.
2: OD LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the volume and intensity of the Overdrive

channel. This control is only active when the OD/Clean switch (#3) is depressed.

3. OD/CLEAN: Use this switch to select the OD channel (switch depressed) or the
Clean channel (switch in the out position). The OD channel gives you sounds rang­ing from crunchy rhythm to screaming leads, while the Clean channel gives you
sounds from sparkling clean to slightly crunchy.

4: CLEAN LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the volume of the Clean channel. This
control is only active when the OD/Clean switch (#3) is in the out position.

5: HIGH: Use this control to adjust the output level of the high frequencies. Rotating
this control counter clockwise reduces the high frequency output; rotating it clock­wise increases it.

6: LOW: Use this control to adjust the output level of the low frequencies. Rotating
this control counter clockwise reduces the low frequency output; rotating it clock­wise increases it.

7. REV LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the amount of reverberation added to the
signal. With the control in the fully counter clockwise position the signal is “dry” (no
reverb). As you rotate the control clockwise the amount of reverb increases.

8. CD INPUT: Use these RCA jacks to connect an external source (such as a CD
player, tape player or rhythm machine) to the amplifier. The signal at these jacks is
summed into a mono signal which is sent to the internal power amp circuit. Use the
external source’s output level control to adjust the signal for the proper mix with
your instrument.

9: HEADPHONES: Use this jack to connect a pair of stereo headphones for private
listening. The external speaker is disconnected when headphones are in use.

10: POWER LED: This LED illuminates when power is applied to the amplifier.
11: POWER SWITCH: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on (top of the switch

depressed) and off (bottom of the switch depressed).
12: AC LINE IN: (Rear panel, not shown) The grounded power cord should only

be plugged into a grounded power outlet that meets all applicable electrical codes
and is compatible with the voltage, power, and frequency requirements stated on
the rear panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.

Congratulations and thank you for choosing the Crate TG10R Guitar Amplifier .
