Getting Your Sound: The Overdrive Level and Gain and the Clean Level controls (#2, 3 & 4) can be used together to obtain a wide variety of sounds. The following guidelines will help you get the sound you’re looking for.

Clean Sounds: Keep the Gain control “off” (the Overdrive Level control will be inactive). Use the Clean Level control to set the output level.

“Crunch” Sounds: Set the Overdrive Level control around “4”, turn the Gain on and set it to “2”. Use the Clean Level control to set the out- put level. (A lower setting of the Clean Level control is needed as the Overdrive Level and Gain controls are increased.)

Rhythm Distortion: Set the Overdrive Level control around “4”, Gain at or near “10”. Use the Clean Level control to set the output level.

Lead Distortion: Set the Overdrive Level and Gain controls at or near “10”. Use the Clean Level control to set the output level.

Connecting to the Insert jack: The Insert jack (#8) lets you patch external effects into the amplifier prior to its power amp stage. Use Crate’s STP201, STP202 or STP203 stereo-to-monoY-cord or an adapter such as Crate’s YPP117 and 2 1/4” mono signal cables to connect to the effect as shown:
