Crate BT50 Bass Combo Amplifier (50 Watts, 1x12 in.)

The BT50 features 2 different channels: a distortion channel, featuring Crate's exclusive Shape control for quick and easy access to the tone you need, and a clean channel with a 4-band rotary EQ. Another unique and valuable feature of this amplifier is the Octave control. This feature electronically creates a second signal that is one octave lower than the original signal. An active electronic tuner, conveniently located on top of the amplifier, allows you to get in tune and stay in tune "on the fly." Front panel jacks are provided for connecting a CD player and a pair of headphones, thereby optimizing your practice time.

Innovation is Contagious
Tone-rich and robust, Crate's BT/BX bass amps stand shoulder to shoulder with our GT/GX series amps. Flooding sound through our FlexWave circuit, Crate's bass gear blends seamlessly with the Crate guitar amp sound -- delivering warmth and feel in clean tones and harmonic richness and bloom in distorted tones. It's a formidable bass sound 25 years in the making.
