8 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"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.

"Buy it. You wont be sorry. Especially if you play metal, but it is good for just about everything."
Feature:
This product had everything I needed. It came with a pedal to change from clean to overdrive to high gain in one step. The pedal included the ability to turn the built in effects on and off. I rarely use the effects due to the fact that I believe it muddles the sound, but I must say that the effects do sound very nice.
Quality:
I have never had a problem with the quality of this amp. I have toted this thing up and down steps, threw bushes, and everywhere in between. I haven't had any components come loose or fall apart.
Value:
When I purchased this item, I considered lots of different amps. I looked at Marshals, Peaveys, Ravens, and just about everything else. I chose this amp because it was the right price and had everything I needed at the time.
Desirability:
I believe this amp is very "sexy." It has a nice exterior and is "heavy duty."
Sound:
Personally, this amp is perfect for my music, metal. The high gain is amazing! It is better than most pedals or any other amp, stack or combo, around. The clean is crystal clear and the overdrive is impressive as well.
Ease of Use:
Plug in, and play basically.
Support:
Due to the fact that I haven't had to replace anything this amp is the best.
Overall:
I bought this amp 1 year ago and I am still pleased, but I am selling it to a friend so that I can purchase a Crate Flexwave half stack.
