26:FUSE: The fuse protects the amplifier from damages caused by a faulty AC power source and/or other problems. If the fuse opens, replace it ONLY with the same size and type. If fuses continue to fail, check the AC source – if the source is okay, contact your Crate dealer for service information.

27:EXTENSION SPEAKER: Use this jack to connect the amplifier to an external speaker cabinet. This jack is wired in series with the internal speaker(s) which remain active when an extension speak- er is connected.

28:DSP A/B FOOTSWITCH: Use this jack to connect one of the footswitch cables to the three-but- ton footswitch (supplied). This allows you to select between two presets for each of the three chan- nels. Additional information about the operation of the footswitch is on page 9.

29:CLEAN/SOLO/RHYTHM FOOTSWITCH: Use this jack to connect one of the footswitch cables to the three-button footswitch (supplied). This allows you to remotely switch between the Clean and Distortion channels and between the Solo and Rhythm channels. (See page 9.)

30:INSERT: Use this jack to connect an external signal processor to the amplifier. 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 to the effect as shown below.

27:AC LINE CORD (not shown): This grounded power cord is to be plugged into a grounded power outlet, wired to current electrical codes and compatible with the voltage, power, and frequency require- ments stated on the rear panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.
