Turning down all volume controls prevents a potential loud "pop" sound coming from the speaker when the amp is powered on. Switch the amplifier's "Channel Select" switch to "A", and turn your guitar volume up all the way. Turn the channel "A" level control up about one-quarter approximately 9 o'clock , and slowly turn up the channel "A" gain control while strumming the guitar until you begin to hear sound.

The gain controls the amount of distortion, and the level controls the overall volume. Adjust the gain until the desired distortion sound is reached, and adjust the level control to reach the desired playing volume. Turn the "Shape" knob on channel "A" to experiment with different tones. Turning the knob fully clockwise boosts the low and high frequencies, while turning it fully counter-clockwise boosts the mid-range frequencies.

Turning the knob anywhere in between will allow you to balance between these frequency extremes to reach one that sounds best to you. Switch the Channel Select switch to channel "B", and slowly turn the channel "B" volume control up until the desired playing volume is reached. Turn the low, mid and high tone controls up or down to experiment with different tones.

All tone knobs will add minimal effect when turned fully counter-clockwise. As they are turned clockwise, tone will be increased. The "low" control adds bass, the "mid" control adds mid-range and the "high" control adds high frequencies. The high frequencies can be further extended by switching the "Bright" switch to the right.

The Bright switch also affects channel "A". Adjust the "Reverb" control until the desired reverb effect is reached. With the knob turned fully counter-clockwise, no reverb effect is added. An easy-to-use feedback elimination cir- cuit with frequency select and cut controls lets you kill feedback without sacrificing sound quality. Plus a footswitchable chorus with depth and rate controls. Still more: The master section features a reverb return control and the master level control. A footswitch jack on the rear panel provides control for reverb and chorus.

The CA60 was designed, evaluated, tweaked and redesigned by musicians and music loving engineers. Highly sophisticated computer driven assembly machines and highly skilled assemblers use only the finest components to produce each amp. Every cabi- net is hand-built and hand-covered by trained craftsmen. It is only after the amplifier has passed this barrage of picky people that it gets packed up and shipped out.

The CA60 Acoustic Amplifier. Designed to be its best, so you can sound your best! About the Crate Acoustic CA To get this amplifier to sound its best, read this owner's guide prior to its use. To keep this amplifier looking its best, avoid abrasive cleansers. Wipe the cab- inet clean using a slightly dampened cloth.

The signal output from your acoustic instrument may be con- nected here by means of a shielded instrument cable. Use this switch to select the type of pickup on your instrument.

For active electronic pickups, set the switch to "active" switch out. This switch, when depressed, serves as a mid-cut control, adding fullness to the sound of your instrument. This serves as the input level control for the instrument channel of the amplifier.

For the best signal to noise ratio set this control so the Peak LED 5 flashes when playing your instrument fairly hard. This LED flashes when the signal level into the preamp approaches clipping. Adjust the Gain control 4 until a strong signal from your instrument causes this LED to flash. This serves as the instrument channel's primary bass control.

Adjust this control to get the best sounding bass response for your instrument. Excessive boost of the low control can cause an unnatur- al howling and should be avoided. This serves as the instrument channel's primary midrange con- trol. Adjust this control to get the best projection and midrange tones for your instrument.

This serves as the instrument channel's primary treble control. Adjust this control so your high notes and harmonic overtones are lively but not overpowering. Use this control along with the Cut control 10 to eliminate instrument feedback. For information on the proper use of this con- trol, please read the section entitled "To Eliminate Instrument Feedback.

Use this control along with the Freq control 9 to eliminate instrument feedback. This switch, when depressed, applies the internal chorus effect to the instrument channel.

Use this control to adjust the magnitude of the chorus effect. Rotating this control clockwise increases the intensity of the effect. Use this control to adjust the rate of the chorus effect. Rotating this control clockwise increases the rate at which the effect occurs. The signal output from a low impedance microphone may be connected here by means of a shielded, balanced microphone cable terminated with an XLR connector.

This switch, when depressed, applies 15 volts phantom power to pins 2 and 3 of the Low-Z input jack 15 , for proper operation of microphones requiring phantom power. Mics not needing phantom power will not be affected by this switch. Chorus is only avail- able for this channel when the instrument channel's chorus switch, 12, is depressed. Adjust this control for the best mix with the signals from the instrument channel. Adjust this control to get the best sounding bass response for this channel.

Excessive boost of the low control can cause an unnatural howling and should be avoided. Adjust this control so the high notes and harmonic overtones are live- ly but not overpowering.

The Master Section: Rev Return. Use this control to set the overall output level of the amplifier. Use this switch to apply power to the amplifier: the amp is on when the top of the switch is depressed, off when the bot- tom of the switch is depressed.

This switch will illuminate when the amplifier is on. High Z Bal.
