Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of the Crate GT3500H ShockWave three-channel guitar amplifier. This rugged amplifier combines outstanding features with serious clean and distorted sounds. The rear panel Effects Loop allows you to connect your effects for greater flexibility. Channel switching and reverb may be controlled by means of the supplied CFS3 footswitch. Like all Crate products, your GT3500H ShockWave amplifier is designed by musicians, and built using only the best components.
The Front Panel: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1. POWER: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on (top of the switch depressed) and off (bottom of the switch depressed). The switch illuminates when the power is on. 2. REVERB: Use this control to adjust the amount of reverb effect: in its fully counterclockwise position the signal will be “dry” (without any effect). As you rotate the control clockwise the amount of reverb increases. CLEAN CHANNEL: A normal gain channel designed to give you crystal clean sounds.
