XT30RC Guitar Amplifier  
Congratulations!  
You are now the proud owner of the Crate XT30RC Guitar Amplifier. This  
rugged amplifier features a Clean channel with a three band EQ and level  
control, and a Solo channel with our patented FlexWave technology, gain,  
Level and Shape control. A Reverb control and a switchable Chorus with  
Depth and Rate controls are provided for greater flexibility. RCA Input jacks  
allow connection of a CD or tape player for playing along with your favorite  
music, and the Headphones jack lets you practice in private. The rear panel  
footswitch jack allows remote control of channel selection and for turning the  
Chorus effect on and off.  
Like all Crate products, your XT amplifier 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 information contained in this manual before you begin playing.  
And thank you for choosing CRATE.

1: INPUT: Use this jack to connect your guitar  
to the amplifier by means of a shielded instru-  
ment cable.  
13: CHORUS RATE: Use this control to adjust  
the speed of the Chorus effect.  
14: CD INPUT: Use these RCA jacks to connect  
the output from a CD player or tape deck to the  
amplifier. The signal at these jacks is combined  
into a mono signal which is sent to the internal  
power amp circuit. Use the CD or tape players  
output level control to adjust the signal for the  
proper mix with your guitar.  
SOLO CHANNEL: A high gain channel  
designed to give you sounds from a slight edge  
to serious overdrive.  
2: GAIN: Use this control to adjust the amount  
of distortion for the Solo channel.  
3: SHAPE: Use this control to adjust to tone of  
the Solo channel.  
15:  
(HEADPHONES): Use this jack to con-  
nect headphones to the amplifier. The internal  
speaker is disconnected when headphones are  
used.  
4: LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output  
level of the Solo channel.  
5: SOLO/CLEAN: Use this switch to select the  
Solo or Clean channel. With the switch in the  
out position, the Clean channel is selected.  
When the switch is depressed, the Solo chan-  
nel is selected. (This switch is disabled when a  
footswitch is used - see #17.)  
CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to your  
hearing, do not use headphones for extended  
periods of time at extremely loud levels.  
16: POWER: Use this switch to turn the ampli-  
fier on (top of the switch depressed) and off  
(bottom of the switch depressed). The switch  
illuminates when the amplifier is turned on.  
CLEAN CHANNEL: A normal gain channel  
designed to give you crystal clear sounds to  
medium distortion.  
The Rear Panel (not shown):  
17: FOOTSWITCH: Use this jack to connect the  
1/4stereo plug on the cable of a two-button  
footswitch (such as the Crate CFP2). This allows  
you to remotely switch between the Clean and  
Solo channels and turn the Chorus effect on and  
off. (The front panel switches, #5 and #11, are  
disabled when a footswitch is turned on.)  
6: VOL: Use this control to adjust the output  
level of the Clean channel.  
7: LOW: Use this control to adjust the low fre-  
quency level of the clean channel.  
8: MID: Use this control to adjust the midrange  
frequency level of the clean channel.  
18: EXTENSION SPEAKER: Use this jack to  
connect the amplifier to an external speaker  
cabinet. The internal speaker is disconnected  
when this jack is used. The minimum impedance  
for the extension speaker is four ohms.  
9: HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high fre-  
quency level of the clean channel.  
10: REV LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the  
level of reverb effect. The reverb can be turned on  
and off by using a footswitch (#17, rear panel).  
19: POWER CORD: The grounded power cord  
should only be plugged into a grounded power out-  
let that meets all applicable electrical codes and is  
compatible with the voltage, power, and frequency  
requirements stated on the rear panel. Do not  
attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.  
11: CHORUS ON: This switch, when  
depressed, activates the amplifiers built-in  
Chorus effect. (This switch is disabled when a  
footswitch is used - see #17.)  
12: CHORUS DEPTH: Use this control to  
adjust the level of the Chorus effect.
