Introduction:
The BV-60H/120H are all-tube, feature-packed professional stage performers' amplifiers. Rugged con-
struction, reliable American craftsmanship and two powerful channels of pure tube power are some of the
trademarks of these new and impressive pieces of musician's equipment. Both amplifiers feature two dis-
tinctly different 12AX7 tube-driven channels: one with classic tube rhythm sounds and one offering you some
of the finest lead and overdrive sounds of any stock amplifier.
Each channel features an all-tube preamp section with separate reverb level controls and three bands of
equalization for total tone control. The master Presence control lets you custom tailor the sound of your gui-
tar to suit your particular needs. The effects loop can be quickly bypassed via the front panel switch or an
optional footswitch and features a switchable “pad” for use with either floor pedals or rack-mounted effects.
The Line Out signal is tapped directly from the speaker outputs, then attenuated and frequency-compen-
sated to replicate the sound of a miked speaker cabinet. Dual speaker jacks and an impedance selector
switch allow the use of multiple cabinets totalling 8 or 16 ohms. The BV-60H packs a solid 50 watts of out-
put power; the 120H a whopping 100 watts.
Features:
Here's a quick overview of the BV-60H/120H's features and controls. Additional information can
be found on the pages indicated.
• All-Tube Preamp and Power Amp: Classic tube sounds with Crate’s legendary performance and
reliability.
• Two Completely Separate Channels: Independent level, tone and reverb controls (page 4).
• Presence Control: Provides even greater tone control and flexibility by allowing you to vary the
upper harmonics of your guitar (page 4).
• Footswitch Control: Remote channel selection and Effects Loop On/Off is available through the
use of an optional two-button footswitch (such as Crate’s CFP-2) (page 5).
• Switchable Effects Loop with Pad: Footswitch or front panel button controlled, the external
effects loop can be switched in or out with ease. A switchable pad provides optimum performance
from line-level rack mounted effects as well as floor-dwelling foot pedals (pages 4,5).
• Impedance Selector Switch: Proper impedance matching is essential for optimum performance
and life expectancy of a tube amplifier. These amps allow the use of 8 or 16 ohm speaker config-
urations (page 5).
• Line Out Jack: Taken directly from the speaker output jacks, the Line Out signal is frequency
compensated to sound like a “miked” speaker cabinet. Use this jack to connect to the house mix-
ing board, a recording console or another performer’s powered monitor (page 5).
• DC Filament Supply: The first preamp tube has a DC filament supply for reduced hum.
• High Cosmetic Appeal and Stage Presence: The unique cosmetics of the BV-60H/120H serve
as a tribute to your good taste in musical equipment.
• Musician Made in the U.S.A.
