"AMAZING AMP"

Feature:
The foot switch that comes with this amp is a great tool for quickly switching between the channel. The DSP effects are easy to use, and versitle. The features on this amp are simply perfect.

Quality:
This amp was made well, and was in perfect condition when it arrived at my place. This amp has the look of a man's amp. I am not going to hesitate to take it on road or on trips. I can see this amp lasting me a LONG time.

Value:
I bought this amp for 250$ and it was worth every single penny.

Desirability:
THis amp looks like a tank. It is very good looking, and I will not be ashamed to use it on stage.

Sound:
This amp is amazing. I use it with my Gibson SG and it sounds absolutely awesome. The distortion and clean channels are CRYSTAL CLEAR! The 30 effects built into the amp provide a wide variety of effects and tweaks you can add to your particular sound. This amp is perfect for me because I love to play hard rock and soft clean music. This amp is L-O-U-D. The sound quality is one of a kind, and very expressive. It gives me just the right sound for my liking. I can't wait to use it when I play for 2 weeks at a camp.

Ease of Use:
Getting the right sound from this amp is as easy as breathing. I love a clear overdrive distortion. The difference between this amp and my old one is Heaven and Hell.

Overall:
ITS AMAZING

"Crate make another top notch amp."

Feature:
Only beef I have with my amp (I don't know if anyone else's does this), but whenever I change channels, reverb turns itself off, and also the bass, middle and high settings for rhythm affect the solo channel. Other than that the features are amazing.

Quality:
The product looks like a rock. 2 incredibly big, sturdy speakers, the wires are thick, nothing accidental could possibly snap them. I'd definitely take it out on the road, I don't think it'd ever break, unless it gets old and starts to rot a bit.

Value:
I bought this amp on sale for £150, and its the best thing I've ever bought.

Desirability:
Sex appeal is through the roof; futuristic, and I know that there's a lot more I can do with this amp than what I currently do.

Sound:
The amp is incredibly clear, and powerful, no matter what setting that you use on it. Solo channel brings a beautiful crunch and earsplitting harmonics, clean channel brings beautifully clean and powerful notes, and rhythm is very good on the whole.

Ease of Use:
Its easy to use, simple as. Volume knobs are all lethal, and I love that the most.

Support:
I've never spoken with Crate about this amp. But if I did I'd have nothing but praise.

Overall:
I think the only way of beating this product is to get a marshall stack to be honest. I can't see myself getting rid of this amp any time soon, if ever.
