These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequen- cy energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer- ence to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a par- ticular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by SLM Electronics could void the users authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules.

3 Congratulations ! You are now the proud owner of the Crate VTX350H three-channel guitar amplifier with Advanced Digital Signal Processing. This rugged amplifier combines outstanding features with serious clean and distorted sounds. Dual DSP controls provide 15 mod- ulation effects and 15 delay effects which can be combined for a wide variety of sounds. The Tap/Save button allows you to manually set the tempo of many of the effects and to save new DSP presets in the amplifiers non-volatile memory. Aseparate Reverb control adds even more to the array of effects. A highly visible electronic tuner (with a Mute switch for silent tuning) allows you to get tuned and stay in tune any time the amplifier is on. The rear panel Line In and Line Out jacks allow you to connect additional equipment for even greater flexibility. Channel switching, Tap/Save, and a second bank of DSP effects may be controlled by means of the supplied four button footswitch. Like all Crate products, your VTX350H amplifier is designed by musicians, and built using only the best components. Extensive testing confirms that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be. In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly suggest that you read the information contained in this guide before you begin playing. And thank you for choosing Crate.
