OWNER’S MANUAL
Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the compact but powerful Crate GX-25M gui-
tar amplifier. Two versatile channels – one crystal clear and the other with our
patented “Flex-Wave” distortion – combined with reverb, a three-band EQ and a
switchable Chorus offer you more flexibility and performance than any amp in its
class. A special damping circuit simulates the “current source” type of output of a
tube amp, giving you solid state reliability combined with classic tube sounds.
Like all Crate products, your GX-25M is Musician Made in the U.S.A., using
only the best components. Extensive testing at the hands (and ears) of skilled tech-
nicians and musicians insures you that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be.
In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly urge you to go
over the information contained in this manual before you begin playing.
And thank you for choosing
