AMPLIFIER
OWNER’S MANUAL
Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the versatile and powerful Crate GX-40C+/40D
amplifier with Stereo Chorus and Digital Sound Processing (GX-40D only). This amplifi-
er offers you more features and better sound than virtually any amp in its class: True
Stereo Chorus. A Stereo Effects Loop. Stereo Headphones / Line Out jack. Stereo
External Speaker jacks. A front-panel insert jack to add even more effects. Each of the
two extraordinary channels have their own Level controls and tones: the Overdrive chan-
nel features separate Gain and Level controls along with Crate’s exclusive Shape con-
trol for quick and precise tone setting, plus a Mid Shift switch for even more control over
your sound. Switch over to the Clean channel, with its own separate Gain and Level con-
trols plus three-band EQ for dialing in just the right sounds.
Like all Crate products, your GX-40C+/40D is Musician Made in the U.S.A., 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.
In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly urge you to go over
the information contained in this manual before you begin playing.
And thank you
for choosing
