1: INPUT:Connect your guitar here by means of a shielded instrument cable. OVERDRIVE CHANNEL: A high gain channel designed to give you sounds from a slight edge to serious overdrive. 2: GAIN 1:Use this control to adjust the amount of moderate compression and distortion for the Overdrive channel. With the control rotated fully counter clockwise the sound will have a thick compressed quality. As you rotate the control clockwise the amount of distortion increases. Gain 1 produces less intense distortion than Gain 2 and is active when the Gain Select switch (#5) is in the out position. 3: GAIN 2:Use this control to adjust the amount of intense compression and distortion for the Overdrive channel. With the control rotated fully counter clockwise the sound will have a thick compressed quality. As you rotate the control clockwise the amount of distortion increases. Gain 2 produces more intense distortion than Gain 1 and is active when the Gain Select switch (#5) is depressed. 4: SHAPE:Working in conjunction with the Gain 2 control, rotate the Shape control until you find the sound youre looking for. Rotating the control counter clockwise enhances the mid frequen- cies. Rotating the control clockwise enhances the low and high frequencies. (Only affects Gain 2 when active.) 5: GAIN SELECT:Use this switch to select Gain 1 (switch in the out position) or Gain 2 (switch depressed). A footswitch (#18) overrides this switch. 6: LOW:Use this control to adjust the low fre- quency output level of the Overdrive channel.This control allows an adjustment range of 11dB at 80Hz. 7: HIGH:Use this control to adjust the high fre- quency output level of the Overdrive channel. This control allows an adjustment range of 10dB at 10kHz. 8: LEVEL:Use this control to adjust the output volume level of the Overdrive Channel. Use this control along with the Gain and Shape controls (#2, 3 & 4) to create a wide variety of sounds. 9: CHANNEL SELECT: Use this switch to select the Clean channel (switch in the out position) or the Overdrive channel (switch depressed). A footswitch (#21) overrides this switch. The adja- cent LEDs indicate which channel is selected. CLEAN CHANNEL: A normal gain channel designed to give you crystal clear sounds. 10: LEVEL:Use this control to adjust the output volume level of the Clean Channel. 11: LOW:Use this control to adjust the low fre- quency output level of the Clean channel. This control allows an adjustment range of 22dB at 80Hz. 12: MID:Use this control to adjust the mid fre- quency output level of the Clean channel. This control allows an adjustment range of 14dB at 600Hz. 13: HIGH:Use this control to adjust the high fre- quency output level of the Clean channel. This control allows a range of 28dB at 10kHz. 14: REVERB LEVEL:Use this this control to adjust the amount of reverberation. With the control rotated fully counter clockwise the output signal is dry (no effect). As you rotate the con- trol clockwise the amount of effect increases. GX-65 Amplifier 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 10 5 9

15: INSERT:Use this jack to connect an exter- nal effects device to the amplifier. Use a stereo 1/4 male Y-cord: ring = send, tip = return, sleeve = ground. See the illustration to the right for more information. 16: EXT. SPEAKER:Use this jack to connect an extension speaker cabinet to the amplifier. This jack is wired in series with the internal speaker. 17: POWER ON LED:This LED illuminates when the amplifier is turned on. 18: POWER SWITCH:Use this switch to turn the amplifier on (top of the switch depressed) an off (bottom of the switch depressed). 19. POWER CORD (rear panel, not shown): 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 require- ments stated on the rear panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground connection! 20: FUSE (rear panel, not shown):The fuse protects the amplifier against damages caused by power overload conditions. If the fuse fails, replace it onlywith the same size and type fuse. If the fuse fails repeatedly check the AC source; if its okay, contact your Crate dealer for service information. 21: CHANNEL SELECT / GAIN FOOTSWITCH JACK (rear panel, not shown):Use this jack to connect the stereo 1/4 plug of the supplied three-button footswitch to the amplifier for remote control of the Channel Select and Gain Select settings.22: REVERB FOOTSWITCH JACK (rear panel, not shown):Use this jack to connect the mono 1/4 plug of the supplied three-button footswitch to the amplifier for remote control of the reverb on and off. Connecting to the Insert jack: The Insert jack (#15) lets you patch external effects into the amplifier just prior to its power amp stage. Use Crates STP201, STP202 or STP203 stereo-to-mono Y-cord or an adapter such as Crates YPP117 and 2 1/4 mono signal cables to connect to the effect as shown below.
