Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the compact but powerful Crate
BX25DLX/BX50DLX Bass Amplifier. The BX25DLX/BX50DLX features
two different channels: a distortion channel, featuring Crates exclusive
Shape control for quick and easy access to the tone you need, and a
clean channel with a four-band rotary EQ. Another unique and valuable
feature of this amplifier is the Octave control. This feature electronically
creates a second signal that is one octave lower than the original signal.
An active electronic tuner, conveniently located on top of the amplifier,
allows you to get in tune and stay in tune on the fly. Front panel jacks
are provided for connecting a CD player and a pair of headphones,
thereby optimizing your practice time.
Like all Crate products, your BX25DLX/BX50DLX is designed by
musicians and built using only the best components. Extensive testing
at the hands (and ears) of skilled technicians and musicians insures you
that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be.
In order to get the most out of your new bass amp, we urge you to
check out the information in this manual before you begin playing.
And thank you
for choosing
