"Very Satisfied!"

Feature:
It has everything I need. The only thing I would change is the ability to mix the delay and reverb, however the echo produces a similar effect. If given the choice to mix any two effects it would be the chorus and reverb, and it does that nicely. The other effects are just icing on the cake that I rarely use. Oh yes, and a headphone output would be nice, but I would probably use it seldom, so I won't consider that a weakness.

Quality:
Beautiful workmanship,cosmetic design, and ergonomics. People in other reviews have complained about it being heavy, but that just proves that it's built like a tank. I expect it to last a long time, especially considering that I use it primarily at home and rarely take it anywhere.

Value:
Worth every penny, and I would buy again if something happened to it.

Desirability:
As mentioned above, it's a very cosmetically pleasing and well laid out amp.

Sound:
This amp sounds amazing. It brings out the natural tone of my Alvarez classical guitar. Sounds better than other amps I have tried in it's price range.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. That is one of the main selling point of this amp for me. I'm tired of owning equipment that I have to strain my brain to learn how to use. I like the simplicity, and it offers enough versatility to tailor my sound the way I want.

Support:
Haven't had a chance to test the customer service. I have experienced no problems to date.

Overall:
I will upgrade someday, but no time in the immediate future, and not because of dissatisfaction. I would probabaly go higher up in the same line.

"Killer Acoutic Amp"

Feature:
For 200 some bucks this amps does a great job, ok maybe if it had a little crunch that would be kool, but for clean sexy acoustic in a small package, WOW

Quality:
great amp, great looking, solid.

Value:
It kicks butt

Desirability:
It just sounds sexy

Sound:
This amp sounds amazing, you will have no idea you are playing an 8" speaker. My wife accidentally plugged me into this amp at the guitar store, an amp i would have walked by because its so small, then when I played through it our jaws hit the floor, esp with the killer hall reverb (not found on the more expensive versions of this amp, and thats a shame) anyway I sat there and played every acoustic thing i could think of and I sounded great.

Support:
Answers email nicely

Overall:
I wish I could add effects to the second channel and put the hall reverb on the higher end models, id play this baby for ever

New for 2004, Crate is introducing an entirely new range of acoustic amplifiers. The technology in the new Crate acoustic series is unique, with preamp circuits you can tailor for piezo or active systems.
