"The best deal you can get on a good amp."

Feature:
some reviews say that there is a tuner in the amp, which would be awesome, but there isn't one. the digital effects aren't very good and sound pretty cheesy for the most part. the amp does come with a foot switch though that works great.

Quality:
very good quality. the output jack got loose pretty quickly but its easy to tighten and the amp is pretty solid.

Value:
its great value. 300 dollars for an amp that can be played along with thousand dollar amps and not be overpowered.

Desirability:
it looks alright, and oddly, people with much better amps have said that they love it.

Sound:
the clean channel sounds good, but its really hard getting a sound between absolutely clean and heavy distortion. also, the distortion can sound kind of dry unless you turn up the reverb and frequencies quite a bit. overall the amp makes good sounds though, and it gets very loud.

Ease of Use:
very easy to use. storing digital effects and other settings is a little tricky though, and the instructions didn't make much sense so it may take a little getting use to if you really want to use them.

Support:
i never dealt with crate directly, and i've only dealt with zzounds on another product, and they were very helpful and let me return my defective product for a new one free of charge.

Overall:
this amp is great for a starting guitarist. i've played for about a year now and i still feel no need to buy a new one. this amp can be taken to any bar or restaurant gig and perform just as well amps that cost 5 times more. it may not be the clearest amp out there but if you are looking to save money its a great amp.
