CPB150 PowerBlock 150 Watt Stereo Guitar Amplifier Congratulations and thank you for choosing another Crate first in guitar amplification: the Crate CPB150 PowerBlock TM 150 watt stereo guitar amplifier. The PowerBlock packs a lot of power and patching options into an amazingly compact and light weight package: 75 watts per channel @ 4 ohms, or 150 watts (mono) @ 8 ohms. With its switch-mode power supply and Class D power section, the PowerBlock offers lots of power, flexibility and tone, along with something no one thought you could get with such a powerful performer: extreme portability! (The PowerBlock even comes with its own padded travelling bag, which can be carried or slung on your shoulder, and even fits neatly into the semi-open back design of Crates GT112SL speaker cabinet.) The PowerBlock is housed in a light weight but virtually bullet proof anodized aluminum chassis which also cools the amplifier when in use. The front panel features three bands of equalization, a gain and level control, and a headphone jack for private practice sessions.The rear panel of the PowerBlock is loaded with speaker output jacks (for stereo ormono use), a balanced XLR Line Out jack with level control, CD input jacks, and dual purpose line in / effects loop jacks for adding external effects or for patching an external line level signal into the PowerBlock. The PowerBlock also features speak- er simulation circuitry for enhanced sound at each of the audio outputs. Designed by players and built for players, theres really nothing else quite like your new Crate PowerBlock! (In order to get the most from your new PowerBlock, please read this users guide prior to its use.) 3 The Crate PowerBlock amplifier can drive up to four of our GT112SL cabinets, in stereo, or drive a single Celestion speaker-loaded GT112SL to the hilt in mono mode.
