REAR PANEL:

22:AC LINE IN: This heavy-duty, grounded, three-wire power cord is to be plugged into ONLY a safely-wired, grounded 120 volt, 60 cycle AC power outlet. DO NOT attempt to defeat the ground connection of this cable! If your GX-60C was purchased outside of the United States, see the unit’s rear panel for its power rating and follow the above guidelines.

23,24: EXT. SPEAKERS: You may connect the outputs of the GX-60C to your external speakers using these jacks. When connecting speakers use a matched pair; that is, two speakers with the same impedance to insure optimum performance from the amplifier. Since these are series connections to the internal speakers there is no chance of damaging the amplifier with too small of an impedance load. The left speaker jack (#24) carries the chorus signal (when the chorus is on) while the right jack (#23) is “dry” (without the chorus effect).

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to use headphones in the Speaker jacks! Permanent hearing damage could result!

25:STEREO HEADPHONES: Plug a pair of stereo head- phones here for private listening. When this jack is used the internal speakers and the external speaker jacks are disconnected.

26,27: STEREO EFFECTS LOOP: Connect the Send jack (#27) to the input of your stereo effects device to send a post-EQ,pre-chorus,pre-amplified signal for processing. Connect the outputs of the effects device to the effects Return jack (#26) to return the processed signal to the amplifier. These jacks are stereo 1/4” phone jacks, wired as follows:

Ring = right channel

Tip = left channel Sleeve = ground

If your effects device has stereo input and output jacks, use a pair of three-conductor stereo patch cords to con- nect to it. If the device has separate left and right jacks, use a pair of one-stereo-male to two-mono-female Y-adapters to make the connections, as shown to the right.

28:CHORUS FOOTSWITCH: Plug a single footswitch (such as the Crate CFP-1 or the “mono” plug of the Crate CFP-3) here to control the Chorus/Expander. The footswitch overrides the front panel on/off switch (#16); selection between the Chorus and the Expander is still controlled by the front panel selector switch (#17).

29:CHANNEL/SHAPE FOOTSWITCH: Plug a dual footswitch (such as the Crate CFP-2 or the “stereo” plug of the Crate CFP-3) here to control Channel Selection and the Shape Active button. The footswitch overrides the front panel switches (#4 and 8) and is wired as follows:

Ring = Shape

Tip = Channels

Sleeve = ground

Connecting to the Insert jack:

The Insert jack (#15) lets you patch external effects into the amplifier just prior to its power amp stage. Use Crate’s CYC6MS stereo-to-mono Y-cord or an adapter such as Crate’s CA11Y and 2 1/4” mono signal cables to connect to the effect as shown below.
