BASS AMPLIFIER 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 Crate’s 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.
BASS AMPLIFIER The Front Panel: 1. INPUT: Use this 1/4” jack to connect your bass to the amplifier by means of a shielded instrument cable. 2. GAIN: Use this control to adjust the amount of distortion for the Distortion/A channel. As you rotate the control clockwise the amount of distortion increases. 3. SHAPE: Use this control to adjust the tone of the Distortion/A channel, from a studio “V”-shaped tone to a more “live,” more present sound. 4.
BASS AMPLIFIER 13. CD INPUT: Use these RCA jacks to connect the line level (or headphones) output of a CD player, tape deck or rhythm machine to the amplifier. The signal level from these jacks is adjusted by the Master control (#12). If the signal from the source connected to these jacks is too strong, use the output level control on the source to adjust the signal to obtain the proper level for a good mix. 14. HEADPHONES: Use this jack to listen to the amplifier through a pair of stereo headphones.
