OWNER’S MANUAL
Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the compact but powerful Crate BFX15 Bass
Amplifier with Digital Signal Processing. The BFX15 offers a wide selection of digital
effects designed especially for the bass guitar, each of which are easily accessed with
a simple turn of a control knob. (No programmer’s degree required!)
The BFX15 is small in size but big in performance: the 8” Crate Custom speaker
makes the most of the amplifier’s 12 watts of musical output power. A 4-band rotaty
EQ and built-in limiter circuit give you complete control over a wide variety of sounds.
In addition, the front panel headphone and external speaker jacks make this amplifi-
er equally suitable for private practicing as well as performing in intimate surround-
ings.
Your BFX15 is designed by musicians and made in the U.S.A., using only the best
components. Extensive testing at the hands (and ears) of skilled technicians and
musicians ensures you that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be.
In order to get the most out of your new bass amp, we urge you to read this man-
ual before you begin playing.
And thank you for choosing
