IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Congratulations!

You are now the proud owner of the compact but powerful Crate MX15R amplifier. Two ver- satile channels – one crystal clear and the other with our patented “Flex-Wave” distortion – com- bined with reverb and a three-band EQ offer you more flexibility and performance than any amp in its class. Our “Flex Wave” circuitry uses sequential cascading gains to deliver distortion which is rich in harmonics and is touch sensitive. A special damping circuit simulates the “current source” type of output of a tube amp, giving you solid state reliability combined with classic tube sounds.

Like all Crate products, your MX15R is designed by musicians, and built using only the best components. Extensive testing confirms that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be.

In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly urge you to read the infor- mation contained in this manual before you begin playing.

And thank you for choosing
