A step-up from Crate's award winning TX30, the Crate TX50DB is the perfect choice for performers who refuse to be held hostage by wall outlets. With its specially designed 10" woofer and piezo tweeter, the TX50DB delivers 50 watts of clean, full-range power, plus the onboard DSP makes digital effects processing a cinch.

Housed in a custom-designed wood enclosure, the TX50DB is rugged, road-ready, and supremely transportable. The heavy-duty battery provides up to 8 hours of rock solid performance. And the TX50DB offers performance features you’d be hard pressed to find on lesser models, such as a footswitch option so you can jump between sparkling clean and smooth distortion modes, or an onboard 3-band EQ on both the instrument and mic channels.

The TX50DB also provides 8 stunning digital effects, dual RCA inputs for a CD/MP3 player or drum machine, and a headphone jack. A 120V charger/adapter is included for standard operation and recharging the battery. Supremely portable, superbly Crate—the TX50DB.

Crate TX50DB Taxi Panel

1. Low Z
Connect a low impedance microphone here by means of a shielded signal cable terminated with an XLR type connector.
2. High Z
Connect a high impedance microphone here by means of a shielded signal cable terminated with a 1/4" connector.
3. Level
Adjust the Input output volume with this control.
When using devices such as a CD or tape player, a rhythm machine, etc., use this control along with the output volume control of the device to achieve a good volume balance between the Input 1 and Input 2 signals.
4. Low
Use this control to adjust the low frequency level for the mic channel.
5. Mid
Use this control to adjust the mid frequency level for the mic channel.
6. High
Adjust the high end response with this control. The high control covers a range of 10dB at 10kHz. This controls the 'bite' of your guitar.
7. DSP Send
Use this control to adjust the amount of signal sent to the internal Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for the mic channel.
8. Insert
Use this jack to connect an external effects device to the amplifier. This is a stereo 1/4" jack, wired as follows:
Tip = Line In (Return - from effect out)
Ring = Line Out (Send - to effect in)
Sleeve = ground
9.

Instrument Input
Connect an instrument, tape player, CD player, or high impedance microphone here by means of a shielded signal cable terminated with a 1/4" connector.

10. Gain
(Active only with the Channel Select switch depressed). Use this control to adjust the gain for the instrument channel 1 - the lower the setting, the lower the amount of distortion. As this control is rotated clockwise, the distortion increases and
the output signal becomes louder.
11. Shape
(Active only with the Channel Select switch depressed). Use this control to adjust the tone of the instrument channel 1. Rotating this control counter clockwise enhances the low and high frequencies.
12. Level
(Active only with the Channel Select switch depressed). Use this control to adjust the output level of the instrument channel 1.
13. Channel Select
Toggle this switch to the desired channel: up for Channel A, down for Channel B. A footswitch also may be used to select channels, in which case this switch is bypassed _ see #25, rear panel.
14. Low
Adjust this control to get the best sounding bass response for your instrument. Excessive boost of the low control can cause an unnatural howling and should be avoided.
15. Mid
Adjust this control to get the best projection and midrange tones for your instrument. The center point of the mid control is chosen by the setting of the contour control.
16. High
Use this control to adjust the high frequency level for the instrument channel 2.
17. Level
use this control to adjust the output level of the instrument channel 2.
18. DSP Send
Use this control to adjust the amount of signal sent to the internal Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for the instrument channel.
19. DSP Mode
Use this control to select the type of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) effect applied to the signal. The nomenclature around the control is as follows:
BYPASS: No effect applied
SLAP: Moderate slapback delay
DELAY: Moderate delay with regeneration
ECHO: Long delay with regeneration
CHORUS: Moderate chorus effect
ROTARY: Simulated rotating speaker effect
CHO/HALL: Chorus combined with large reverb
20. CD Input
Use these jacks to connect the outputs of a CD player or tape player to the amplifier. The output of the CD or taple player may need to be attenuated for a suitable mix with the input channels
21. Footswitch
21. FOOTSWITCH: Use this jack to connect a footswitch to the amplifier for remote control of the Instrument channel selection and turning the DSP on and off. The jack is wired as follows:
Tip = Instrument channel selection
Ring = DSP control
Sleeve = ground
22. Headphones
Use this jack to connect a pair of stereo headphones for private practice sessions. The internal speakers are disconnected when headphones are used.
23. LED
This LED illuminates yellow when the power switch is at the on position - when the amp is fully charged. The LED illuminates red when the battery needs recharging.
24. Power
Use this switch to turn the amplifier on and off.
