Congratulations!

You are now the proud owner of the Crate BT1000 Bass Amplifier. The BT1000 features a clean channel with a four-band rotary EQ and a footswitch-controllable Expander circuit for quick tone changes. An active electronic tuner, conveniently located on top of the amplifier, allows you to get in tune and stay in tune "on the fly." The Mute switch allows you to tune in silence without changing the amp’s Level controls. The headphone jack allows for private practice sessions. A built-in Limiter keeps your sound clean even at full output power levels, an effects loop is provided for adding your favorite effects, and the balanced XLR jack with volume control lets you run your signal to the house mixing board or a recording console.

Like all Crate products, your BT1000 is designed by musicians and built 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 bass amp, we urge you to check out the information in this guide before you begin playing.

And thank you for choosing Crate.
