CHORUS AMPLIFIER
OWNER’S MANUAL
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for selecting a Crate product, and to tell you
of our commitment to the design and manufacture of only the finest musical instrument amplifi-
cation equipment; built for you, the musician.
You have purchased one of the most innovative sound amplification devices available today.
Your Crate amplifier gives you more performance features than ever before; features that you,
the musician, have asked for.
Your Crate amplifier is proudly Made in America. Only the finest available components and
materials are used in the manufacture of each amplifier.
All Crate amplifiers are subject to seven or more inspection and testing steps to assure you of
a high quality product. The final test for each amp is conducted by a trained musician with the
instrument the amp was designed for. Any unit that does not meet the standards of his discrim-
inating ear will not be passed.
Since all Crate products are designed, developed and manufactured through the cooperative
efforts of engineers and professional musicians, the end result is a product that responds to the
musician’s audio requirements, and a product that will serve your needs for years to come.
