control correspond to the digital effects as listed in the
chart below.
12: CD INPUT: Use these RCA jacks to connect the
output from a CD payer or tape deck to the amplifier.
The signal at these jacks is summed into a mono sig-
nal which is sent to the internal power amp circuit.
Use the CD or tape player’s output level control to
adjust the signal for the proper mix with your guitar.
13: HEADPHONES: Use this jack to connect head-
phones to the amplifier. The internal speaker is dis-
connected when headphones are used.

hearing, do not use headphones for extended
periods of time at extremely loud levels.
14: SPEAKER: Use this jack to connect the amplifier
to an external speaker. The internal speaker is dis-
connected when this jack is used. The impedance of
the external speaker must be 4 ohms or greater.
WARNING: Do not attempt to use headphones in
the Speaker jack! Permanent hearing damage
could result!

(top of the switch depressed) and off (bottom of the
switch depressed). The adjacent LED illuminates
when the amplifier is turned on.
16: FOOTSWITCH (rear panel, not shown): Use this
jack to connect the 1/4” stereo plug on the cable of a
two-button footswitch (such as the Crate CFP2. This
allows you to remotely switch between the Clean and
Solo channels and turn the DSP function on and off.
17: POWER CORD (rear panel, not shown): The
grounded power cord should only be plugged into a
grounded power outlet that meets all applicable electri-
cal codes and is compatible with the voltage, power, and
frequency requirements stated on the rear panel. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.
