Crate GFX-65T User Manual

The Electronic Tuner:
5
20. ELECTRONIC TUNER (top panel): This active electronic tuner is on whenever the amplifier is turned
on, allowing you constant, “real-time” tuning. The bottom row of LEDs indicate which string is being tuned,
while the top row of LEDs are your guiding lights: use the flat and sharp indicators until the center LED illu-
minates. This indicates a properly tuned string.
21: AC LINE CORD (rear panel, not shown): This grounded power cord is to be plugged into a ground-
ed power outlet, wired to current electrical codes and compatible with the voltage, power, and frequency
requirements stated on the rear panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.
21: FUSE (rear panel, not shown): The fuse protects the amplifier from damages caused by a faulty
AC power source and/or other problems. If the fuse opens, replace it ONLY with the same size and type.
If fuses continue to fail, check the AC source – if the source is okay, contact your Crate dealer for serv-
ice information.
22: CHANNEL SELECT / GAIN FOOTSWITCH JACK (rear panel, not shown): Use this jack to con-
nect the stereo 1/4” plug of the supplied three-button footswitch for remote control of channel selection
and gain selection.
23: REVERB FOOTSWITCH JACK (rear panel, not shown): Use this jack to connect the mono 1/4”
plug of the supplied three-button footswitch for remote control of DSP on and off.
CONNECTING T
O THE INSERT JACK:
