Crate
BT25
Personal Bass Amp
| The Crate BT25 features
two different channels: a distortion channel, featuring Crate?s
exclusive Shape control for quick and easy access to the tone you
need, and a clean channel with a four-band rotary EQ. Another unique
and valuable feature of this amplifier is the Octave control. This
feature electronically creates a second signal that is one octave
lower than the original signal. An active electronic tuner,
conveniently located on top of the amplifier, allows you to get in
tune and stay in tune ?on the fly.? Front panel jacks are provided for
connecting a CD player and a pair of headphones, thereby optimizing
your practice time.
Player Type: This is the perfect 1st bass amp, home practice or
home studio amp. Tube tone, reliability and value.

| 1. |
INPUT
Use this 1/4” jack to connect your bass to the amplifier by
means of a shielded instrument cable.
|
| 2. |
GAIN
Use this control to adjust the amount of distortion for the
Distortion channel. As you rotate the control clockwise the amount
of distortion increases.
|
| 3. |
SHAPE
Use this control to adjust the tone of the Distortion channel,
from a studio “V”-shaped tone to a more “live,” more
present sound. |
| 4. |
LEVEL
Use this control to adjust the output level of the Distortion
channel.
|
| 5. |
CHANNEL SWITCH
Use this switch to select either channel. With the switch in
the out position, the Clean channel is selected. When the switch
is depressed, the Distortion channel is selected. The adjacent LED
illuminates when the Distortion channel is selected. NOTE: When
using a footswitch: when this switch is depressed, the footswitch
switches between the Distortion channel and the Clean channel;
when this button is in the out position, the Clean channel is
always active, and the footswitch turns the Distortion channel on
and off, allowing you a blend of both channels. |
| 6. |
LEVEL
Use this control to adjust the output level of the Clean
channel, and as part of the Octave level control (see #11).
NOTE: The BT25/BT50 employs an internal noise gate to
keep residual noise to a minimum. Regardless of which channel is
selected, the Clean channel’s Level control (#6) must be turned
up above “0” in order for the noise gate to trigger.
|
| 7. |
LOW
Use this control to adjust the low frequency output of the
Clean channel.
|
| 8. |
LOW MID
Use this control to adjust the lower-midrange frequency output
of the Clean channel.
|
| 9. |
HIGH MID
Use this control to adjust the upper-midrange frequency output
of the Clean channel.
|
| 10. |
HIGH
Use this control to adjust the high frequency output of the
Clean channel.
|
| 11. |
OCTAVE
The BT25/BT50 features internal circuitry which creates a
second signal which is one octave lower than the input signal. Use
this control in conjunction with the Clean channel’s Level
control (#6) to adjust the level of the octave signal. |
| 12. |
MASTER
Use this control to adjust the overall output level of the
amplifier. |
| 13. |
CD INPUT
Use these RCA jacks to connect the line level (or headphones)
output of a CD player, tape deck or rhythm machine to the
amplifier. The signal level from these jacks is adjusted by the
Master control (#12). If the signal from the source connected to
these jacks is too strong, use the output level control on the
source to adjust the signal to obtain the proper level for a good
mix.
|
| 14. |
HEADPHONES
Use this jack to listen to the amplifier through a pair of
stereo headphones. The internal speaker is disconnected when the
headphones jack is used.
CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to your hearing, do
not use headphones for extended periods of time at extremely loud
listening levels.
|
| 15. |
POWER
Use this switch to turn the amplifier on and off. The adjacent
LED illuminates when the amplifier is turned on. |
| 16. |
ELECTRONIC TUNER (TOP
PANEL)
This active electronic tuner is on whenever the amplifier is
turned on, allowing you constant, “real-time” tuning. The
tuner is fully chromatic – use the flat and sharp indicators
until the LED between them illuminates, indicating proper tuning.

AC LINE CORD
The grounded power cord should only be plugged into a grounded
power outlet that meets all applicable electrical codes and is
compatible with the voltage, power, and frequency requirements
stated on the rear panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety
ground connection.
|
| 18 |
FOOTSWITCH
Connect a two-button footswitch (such as the Crate CFP-2) here
for remote control of the channel selection/“blend” (see #5)
and octave on/off. (When the Channel Switch [#5] is depressed, the
footswitch switches between the Clean channel and the Distortion
channel; when the switch is in the out position, the Clean channel
is always active, and the footswitch turns the Distortion channel
on and off, allowing you a blend of both channels.)
|
| 19 |
EXTERNAL SPEAKER
Use this jack to connect the amplifier to an external speaker
cabinet (BT25 = 4 ohms minimum, BT50 = 8 ohms minimum). The
internal speaker is disconnected when the external speaker jack is
used.
