11.DSP LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the amount of digital effect: in its full counter clockwise posi- tion the signal will be “dry” (without any effect). As you rotate the control clockwise the amount of effect increases.

12.FOOTSWITCH: Use this jack to connect a one-button footswitch (such as the Crate CFP-1) to the amplifier for remote on/off control of the DSP effects.

13.INSERT: Use this jack to connect an external effects device to the amplifier. Use a stereo 1/4” male Y con- nector: ring = send, tip = return, sleeve = ground. See the illustration below for additional information.

14.HEADPHONES: Use this jack to connect a pair of stereo headphones to the amplifier for private listening. The internal speaker is disconnected when the headphones jack is used.

15.SPEAKER: Use this jack to connect the amplifier to an extension speaker cabinet. This jack is wired in series with the internal speaker.

WARNING: TO AVOID POSSIBLE HEARING DAMAGE, DO NOT USE HEADPHONES IN THE SPEAKER JACK!

16.ON LED: This LED illuminates when power is applied to the amplifier.

17.POWER: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on and off.

Connecting to the Insert Jack:

The Insert jack (#13) allows you to patch an external effects device into the amplifier prior to its power amp stage. 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 connect the effect as shown to the immediate right.
