Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of the Crate MX65R amplifier. This rugged amplifier delivers serious clean and distorted sounds through its premium 12” Crate Custom speaker. Channel selection, Crate’s exclusive Shape circuit, and reverb on/off are controllable by using the supplied footswitch. An insert jack allows virtually noise-free connection of your favorite effects. Like all Crate products, your MX65R is designed by musicians, and built using only the best components.
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.
The Front Panel: 1: INPUT: Use this 1/4” jack to connect your guitar to the amplifier by means of a shielded instrument cable. OVERDRIVE CHANNEL: A high gain channel giving you sounds from a slight edge to serious overdrive. 2: GAIN 1: Use this control to adjust the amount of light distortion for the Overdrive channel. Gain 1 produces less intense distortion than Gain 2 (#3) and is active when the Gain switch (#5) is in the out position.
17: ON LED: This LED will illuminate when power is applied to the amplifier. 18: POWER: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on and off. 19: AC LINE CORD: (Rear panel, not shown:) This grounded power cord is to be plugged into a grounded power outlet, wired to current electric codes and compatible with voltage, power, and frequency requirements stated on the rear panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.
