"Wow, move over Blues Jr..."

Feature:
It has a 3 band eq, overdrive and reverb. It could use a second channel. That is about all it lacked in my opinion.

Quality:
I tried one at a local store. The fit and finish were awesome, I don't generally care what an amp looks like - the sound is what matters. I did like the look of this amp a lot.

Value:
For what you pay, $330 US, you cannot beat this value. Blues Jr other 15 Watt tube amps will sit if people can get past the Crate nameplate and listen with their ears...

Desirability:
Yea, I want it. It's just that simple. Great amp packed in an attractive cabinet. Best tube combo for the money.

Sound:
I compared this amp to the Classic 30 and the Blues Jr. I thought it sounded as good as the Blues Jr, and better than the Classic 30. I play classic rock and blues, at it's price point nothing beats it.

Ease of Use:
I found it very easy to use and adjust. Extremely playable amp.

Support:
No need as I tried it in a store.

Overall:
I expect it will become the last amp I ever buy.
