"Best for the buck"

Feature:
The footswitch is amazing. It originally attracted me to buy one, and I have to say its awesome. Its so easy switching between settings. I also like the cd input, used it once or twice and its handy for practicing.

Quality:
This thing is solid as a rock. Nothings broken yet and Ive had it for about half a year. For some reason something rattles when you move the amp around a lot, but i don't know what it is. It doesn't really bother me that much though.

Value:
You may be thinking, "eh 120 amp for under 200 bucks? and its crate? no way" I thought the same. But this baby can do it all. Its the best for the buck. Get it, you'll be as happy as I am.

Desirability:
The price and the foot switch made me go for this amp.

Sound:
The settings on this amp are pretty good. The clean does the job when I need it, however I don't use it a lot. The rhythm setting gives that nice classic rock sound and it has great distortion. The solo rhythm is sickk. The shape knob is awesome since you can scoop your mids and such, going from sweet solo sounds to heavy chunky metal distortion. I wouldn't buy a distortion pedal as this amp I believe gets the job done. Plus its loud as hell, still haven't turned it up all the way, even at gigs. This is no Marshall but it doesn't matter. I love the tone and the sound from this.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to modify the sounds and to get different tones, especially on the solo channel.

Support:
Never had to call them because nothing ever happened

Overall:
Sure this amp cant compare to a Mesa Boogie, Fender or Marshall, but I love it so much. If it were stolen I would definitely buy another one. I used to think negatively about crate but now I respect them so much more, this amp has great tone, volume, and features. Sure there aren't effects, but with the money you save, you can get a couple pedals if you really want them.

Feature:
Includes foot switch to change between channels and to operate Reverb. Instructions for hook-up and use less than adequate.

Quality:
Built tough and looks great! Should hold up to pretty much anything. parts and assembly look good, also.

Value:
Worth every dime I paid for it.

Desirability:
Sleek.

Sound:
Clean to Mean!!!!!!!!!! Played a BC Rich Dark Arts Warlock through this puppy and the tone was SMOKIN' Reverb not very good.

Ease of Use:
Easy to use unless you've never operated an amp before. Manuel great except for foot switch use.

Support:
Never used.

Overall:
Will keep indefinitely! Good for practice or gig. If it was lost or stolen, I would buy another. Sound perfect for country, rock or metal. Do your self a favor and get this amp! Great tone for a solid state amp! I own a Mesa Stiletto Trident and this amp has equal to or better tone, especially in the clean setting.
