Bass Amplifier Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of the compact but powerful Crate MXB25 Bass Amplifier. The small size of this amplifier belies its big performance: the 10” Crate Custom speaker makes the most of the amplifier’s 27 watts of musical output power. A 4-band rotary EQ combined with Crate’s variable Contour control gives you complete control over a wide variety of sounds.
Bass Amplifier Important Safeguards and Precautions: All Crate products are designed for continuous safe operation. Abiding by the following rules can help prevent damage to your amplifier, yourself and others. • The amplifier is equipped with a three-pronged AC power cord. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, NEVER remove or otherwise attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power cord. • Connect the amplifier ONLY to a properly grounded AC outlet of the proper voltage for your amp.
