CRATE CR-1 LIMITED EDITION GUITAR AMPLIFIER
What W
ere We Thinking?
The year was 1978 - the
first CR-1 was introduced
to fill the needs of musi-
cians looking for a great
sounding, indestructible
guitar amplifier that was
easy to use, affordable,
and loud.
Crate was “an original”
back then, and throughout
our history, originality and
innovation have gone
hand-in-hand. Over the
years we have won more
awards in the U.S.A. for
excellence and innovation
in amplifiers than any
other company in the
music industry. Our Shape
circuitry made finding
“your sound” as simple as
turning a single knob. Our
Sequential Cascading
Gains (SCG) and our
patented Flex Wave tech-
nology (now at Version 5)
produced solid state
amplifiers with remarkable
distortion and tone.
This limited edition CR-1 embodies a great mix of the old and the new. The
timeless wooden crate, built like a tank and uniquely different, has been given
the new soul of a pure tube preamp and the loudest, most toneful 5 watt Class
A tube power amp imaginable.
It was from this original amp design that the CRATE name was born. It sym-
bolizes our dedication to building products with durability, simplicity, and great
tonality in mind. Crank it up and check it out!
