USER’S GUIDE
Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the Crate GFX-65 guitar amplifier. This rugged

selection and Crate’s exclusive Shape circuit are controllable by the supplied two-button
footswitch. An insert jack allows virtually noise-free connection of your favorite effects.
Like all Crate products, your GFX-65 is designed by musicians and built using only
the best components. Extensive testing at the hands (and ears) of skilled technicians
and musicians insures you that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be.
