"its loud, proud, worth the money. dont play in closed tight spaces. he bass well kill.....its a good thing"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
the effects make your clean channel so beautiful, you want to cry. but as far as the other effects go......im not shure all i know its chorus and delay and reverb and smooth...

Quality:
light weight, smells good, sounds great, a lot of BASS. feels nice. this thing is big plus it comes with wheels. but there is no cups for the head so that could be a problem. also comes with cables to hook the head and cab.

Value:
it is so worth the price. people are always talking about marshall but this thing has the same sound and tone with twice the gain..oh yea

Desirability:
its retro. i play a peavey rotor ex and it matches perfectly with the retro-ness of that baby

Sound:
it has so much bass that i was just playing it in my room with the level at 1 for high gain channel and my head started to hurt after 5 minutes. it has great great tone. whenever i would try high notes on my old combo amp, they would make my ears schreech but now it has a nice santana sound to it. its a great amp for metal\hard rock

Ease of Use:
the pedal is a bit confusing. if you are trying to clear the channel tracking thing its a tad confusing also(you have to toy with the reverb to make changes once its set)

Support:
its a one for you dont need so how can you rate it :)

Overall:
for ever and ever. it sounds nice. you have to crank it ( 1 or 2 on the level only sound bad for high gain) to get that nice metal sound to it. it comes with cables, wheels, instructions, and a very very big amp. im 5' 10" and this thing is about 3 or 4 inches from my boobs....yea its nice and the screen on the speakers is suck a nice grey to

"great amp for great price. meets crate standards"

Feature:
you get flanger, phaser and chorus with delay effects. its nice to have for certain song because you know it may not sound right without it. the most useful thing would be the delay. it really hard to hear everything else though such as the phasers

Quality:
the product is very well made and it seems it will last a long time. they could have put slots in for the feet of the head though. theres a slight chance you could knock it off the top of the cabinet. i havent had to use the tuner but ive heard its a little strange at times. i wouldnt use a back up amp if i had to.

Value:
its a great amp for the price not many come with effects and three channels like this one at this price range. ive never used crate and i was a little skeptical about it until i got it home and used it.

Desirability:
if your on budget and need a great amp this is it. its easy to get down and use after a little bit of tweaking it.

Sound:
it sounds good but you hve to play with the effects to get it just right. the whole dsp channel tracking can get kind of ennoy because its so confusing. its really loud which is nice for the price . the clean channel gets a little crackly if you crank it up high though.

Ease of Use:
the is a slight learning curve when it comes to the effects because it saves the settings in your memory. its quite confusing and the booklets dont help all to much

Support:
i havent had to deal with them which signifies they made a quality product.

Overall:
i plan to use this as long as possible until i settle down in the years to come and get money for a marshall. i looked at the hartke half stack and i was think about it but with the effects and the three channels i was sold on this one. i wanted the 600 dollar marshall but is not that great (so ive heard) its some cheap made half stack and marshall threw its name on it. if it was stolen right now i would definantly get another 1. because i cant afford anything else and 2. because i know the quality of it. i wish i knew how to set the effects and use the pedal before i bought it though.

"BUY THIS AMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Feature:
I like how it has delay, chorus, reverb, and flanger. It was confusing, but I figured out how to turn off the Mods. Only bad thing is that on high gain, you just have shape instead of bass, treble, and middle, but its all good :)

Quality:
Ive dropped the head from a couple feet, and it sounds and slike it did the day i got it. I LOVE the way it looks, sounds, and feels.

Value:
Im 16 and I guess you can tell i dont have a whole lot of money, so i tried this out and it was the best value. This amps tone probably is better than many other expensive amps.

Desirability:
The look is basic but cool. Grey is better than hot pink.

Sound:
Great tone on high gain. If you tweak the clean and overdrive, they sound pretty good. I play deathcore and this amp has a perfect tone for it. I have a Marshall MG30DFX, and my crate blows the Marshalls distortion out of the ballpark.

Ease of Use:
Pretty easy to use. I had it on the perfect tone on all three channels within 10 minutes.

Support:
I haven't had to use Crates support, their products are made extremely well. If only they made their products worse, then i could rate the support. :)

Overall:
Overall, if you want a great, cheap amp, this is the one to go with. Great tone, great looks, great quality. BUY THIS AMP!!!!!!
