OWNER’S MANUAL

BFX100

BASS AMPLIFIER

WITH

DIGITAL SIGNAL

PROCESSING

Congratulations!

You are now the proud owner of the portable and powerful Crate BFX100 Bass

Amplifier with Digital Signal Processing. The BFX100 offers a wide selection of digi-

tal 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 BFX100

boasts an improved cabinet design with a front port, an extended range bass driver,

an extremely clean power amp and very flexible tone circuitry. The balanced line out

jack has a level control for the best signal match to a recording console or live PA sys-

tem, and is selectable for either pre or post EQ. The built-in limiter ensures pure,

clean power even at its full 100 watts output. An effects loop, a headphones jack, and

an extension speaker jack add to the overall versatility of this incredible bass amp.

Your BFX100 is Musician 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

1. INPUT: The signal output from an instru-

ment (active or passive) or a line level signal

may be connected here by means of a

shielded instrument cable.

2. -15dB/0dB: This switch, when depressed,

attenuates the input signal by 15dB.

Attenuation allows the Gain control (#3) to be

functional over a larger portion of its range. If

the Gain control is near minimum and the

Peak LED (#4) is flashing (indicating clipping

of the input signal), attenuation is needed.

3. GAIN: This serves as the input signal level

control for the amplifier, allowing you to

adjust the amplifier for the best signal to

noise ratio.

4. PEAK LED: This LED flashes when the

signal level into the preamp approaches clip-

ping. Adjust the Gain control (#3) until a

strong signal from your instrument causes

this LED to flicker.

NOTE: If the LED flashes frequently with the

gain control at a low setting, use the -15dB

pad (#2) to attenuate the input signal, then

readjust the gain.

5: CONTOUR SHAPE: This control is only

active when the Contour Active switch (#6) is

depressed. The setting of this control shifts

the frequency where the contour effect is

centered, giving you a wide variety of tonal

variations, from a studio “V”-shaped tone to a

sound that’s more “live” and up-front.

6: CONTOUR ACTIVE: This switch, when

depressed, activates the Contour Shape con-

trol (#5).

7. GRAPHIC EQ: Use these sliders to adjust

the output signal to best suit your playing

style, to match room acoustics, and to get the

best overall sound. The sliders control the

output of the frequencies indicated below

each control. The center position of each

control is flat (no boost or cut).

8. MASTER LEVEL: This is the overall out-

put level control for the amplifier.

9. LIMIT: The BFX100 uses an internal limit-

ing circuit to assist in keeping the power

amplifier’s output “clean” at extreme volume

levels. (All amplifiers begin to clip their output

signals as they approach maximum output

levels, resulting in distortion which may dam-

age the speaker.) Whenever the amplifier is

at full power, this LED will flash. This is an

indication that the limiter is keeping peak sig-

nals from clipping the output.

INPUT CONTOUR EQUALIZATION MASTER

10. DSP MODE: Select the type of digital

effect(s) applied to the signal with this con-

trol. The effects are described as follows:

DELAY: Slapback delay effect

ECHO: Long delay effect with regeneration

CHORUS: Chorus effect

FLANGE: Light flange effect

FUNK-WAH: Touch-sensitive wah-wah (“T-Wah”)

effect

OCTAVE: Adds secondary note one octave

lower than original note

CHO/HALL: Chorus effect with large hall reverb

effect

RM: Small room reverb effect

HALL: Large hall reverb effect

11. DSP LEVEL: This is the output level con-

trol for the selected DSP effect(s). For a dry

signal (no effect), rotate the control full

counter-clockwise. Rotating the control

clockwise increases the magnitude of the

DSP effect(s) applied to the signal.

12. DSP FOOTSWITCH: Connect a one but-

ton footswitch (such as the Crate CFP-1)

here for remote on/off control for the internal

DSP effects.

13. INSERT: Connect an external effects

device using this jack. Use a stereo 1/4” male

Y-cord: ring = send, tip = return, sleeve =

ground. See the illustration to the right for

more information.

14. HEADPHONES: For private listening,

connect a pair of stereo headphones into this

jack. The internal speaker is disconnected

when headphones are plugged in.

15. SPEAKER: Use this jack to connect the

amplifier to an external speaker with a mini-

mum impedance rating of 4 ohms. The inter-

nal speaker is disconnected when this jack is

used.

WARNING: TO AVOID POSSIBLE

HEARING DAMAGE, DO NOT

USE HEADPHONES IN THE

SPEAKER JACK!

16. ON LED: This LED will illuminate when

the amplifier is turned on.

17. POWER: This switch applies AC power

to the amplifier. The amplifier is ON when the

side of the switch with the indicator (|) is

depressed.

The Rear Panel:

18. FUSE: This protects the unit from dam-

age due to overload conditions or power line

surges. If the fuse blows, replace it only with

the same size and type.

19. AC LINE CORD: Plug this cord into a

properly wired, grounded, 120 volt, 60 cycle

outlet. DO NOT attempt to defeat the

ground connection of this power cord! If

your amplifier was purchased outside of the

United States, see the unit’s rear panel label-

ing for its power rating, and follow the above

guidelines.

20. BALANCED LINE OUT: This XLR-type

connector supplies a balanced preamp output

signal for connecting to a house mixing board,

recording console or external amplifier with

balanced inputs. The signal can be set to Pre

or Post EQ by the Pre/Post switch (#21). The

line out signal level can be controlled by the

Balanced Line Out Level control (#22).

21. PRE/POST SWITCH: You can select

either Pre or Post EQ for the signal at the

Balanced Line Out jack (#20) with this switch.

When the switch is depressed, the signal at

the jack is pre-EQ—a direct output, not affect-

ed by the gain, contour, or graphic EQ. When

the switch is in the out position, the signal is

post-EQ—the output signal is affected by the

gain, contour and graphic EQ controls.

22. BALANCED LINE OUT LEVEL: Use this

control to adjust the output signal at the

Balanced Line Out jack (#20). This control

works independently from the the front panel

Master Level control.

Connecting to the Insert jack:

The Insert jack (#13) lets you patch external

effects into the amplifier just prior to its power

amp stage. Use Crate’s STP201, STP202 or

STP203 stereo-to-mono Y-cord or an adapter

such as Crate’s YPP117 and 2 1/4” mono signal

cables to connect to the effect as shown below.
