"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.

"Great amp. Cheap price. Can't beat it."

Feature:
Effects are great. Chorus, Delay, Reverb and stuff is all good. Footswitch is great but since I only use one channel I don't use it.

Quality:
Holds together great. Had it for a over a year and its been pretty faithful. There's a warning that says don't take out in the rain without a cover but I don't have a cover and I have dragged it through the rain and snow alot and it still works perfectly.(not that thats important). I don't recommend having it sit out in the rain though.

Value:
Worth every penny, maybe even more.

Sound:
This thing sounds great.And its pretty loud.I pretty much always use the clean channel and use seperate effects for distortion and stuff.Don't really use rythym and solo channel, but they do sound good just not better then my tubescreamer. I used to use a digitech rp300a for all my effects but I urge you not to use it. Now I use a ibanez ts9 and dunlop wah and they sound awesome with this amp and my strat.

Ease of Use:
A child can use it.

Support:
Never called them. Probably will never have to.

Overall:
Its a great amp. If you need something LOUD and durable. I recommend getting this amp.

The GTX212 is a true three channel amp. The Solo Channel features Gain, Shape and Level; the Overdrive Channel features Gain, 3 band EQ and Level and the Clean Channel features Volume and three band EQ. Incredibly versatile, loud, and with a myriad of variable effects options, plus three channel function with channel tracking; the GTX212 is an extremely powerful tool for the most discriminating player.

The 120-watt, 2x12 in. GTX212 offers variable tweak-ability in the DSP section. The enhanced DSP section on the GTX212 includes the ability to select a multi-effect, add a variety of delay types and styles, modify those delay times through the use of a tap button and then add digital reverb separately. There is a visual indication of channel mode and tap speed for each effect. In addition, all customized effects can be channel tracked to each of the three channels and remain stored even when the amps are powered off.
