Manufacturer's Description for Crate TX15 Taxi Battery Power Instrument/Microphone Combo Amplifier (15 Watts, 1x8 in.)

Battery powered with tons of tone. Take your music anywhere, and play for up to 8 hours! The Crate Taxi provides everything you need to perform when you're far from any source of electricity. With the newly developed injection molded enclosure, the TX30BE has improved bass response and is lighter and more transportable than ever before! A specially designed Crate 8 in. woofer and Piezo tweeter ensure clean, loud performance from a full-range of frequencies. The TX30BE has 2 channels (one 1/4 in. mic/line and one 1/4 in. instrument). The instrument channel includes a 1/4 in. input, gain boost, 3-band EQ, and level. The 15-watt TX15 has the same 8 in. & piezo speaker configuration with an XLR-1/4 in. combi jack on channel 1. The Taxis includes a wall charger and 12V adapter. These amps are for anyone who requires portable, credible tone.

As avid guitar players themselves, Crate engineers build the gear they want to use. And as crafters of tone, they're naturally good listeners, not only to the purity of sound, but also to the insight of their fellow musicians, whose immeasurable experience is a driving force behind every piece of Crate gear. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Crate products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (15 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Can't get much better than this."
Sound: This unit makes me sound great while playing accoustic guitar and singing ballads. I have tried some R&R with it and it sounds good but I am into the heady stuff. 15watts are fine for me, but the 50watt Limo would be the bomb. Feature: I like the dual inputs and the CD/mp3 inputs. I can sound real professional and be portable. Ease of Use: Plug your stuff in and go on the road. Can't be any easier. Quality: I bought 2 of these a few years apart and I can't be happier. Value: Might be something out there cheaper, but the operative word is "Cheap". I feel you get what you pay for. Manufacturer Support: One of my amps shorted out and with the 5/2 warranty, it got fixed and I am back. The Wow Factor: Many people love the portability and want one. Overall: I will only buy a Crate as their reputation and quality speaks for itself. And they stand behind their products. I've had my first TX-15 for 6 years and have just needed work on it.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Get it on !"
Sound: The sound is Loud ! Wow , I was surprized I had too much volume inside my house at 2.The quality for my voice ( I am a professional opera singer ) does not capture all of the resonances that I would like it too. I can use the built in equalizer which is nice ,but it wont give the speakers the proper sound of my voice. I wouldn't expect them too , I guess I learned something new about my voice because I only found out that there are no low costing speakers that will reproduce my voice.As far as guitar and voice , this little taxi will get the job done. I do make more money singing with it than with out it.Regarding recording uses, I dont know. I can't tell you which settings your going to like and mine are secret.Marketing strategy.I have a 100 $ mic. Feature: For me , the settings and sounds are perfect, add a pedal and its a whole new toy. Go wireless and your show becomes dramatic. Dont expect anything more from the Amp. Ease of Use: The design is well thought out and easy to understand. Quality: I dont yet know how long it will last in the situation where it is used as a regular amp for a gig. I like the fact that I can take the plug with me and give it a charge and in a couple of hours its reusable. Also I like the fact that the manual explains you should let it charge 24 hours if the red light does not come on because of a low battery.The reason I dont rate it a 10 is because I reaolly dont yet know how long it will last. How good the battery is. I'm sure there are lemons just like cars , but it is not a toy. This is a real professional amp for a one man show. Value: The price is the reason I bought it. Secondly the function for one man show,as a professional performer , ( Busking ) Manufacturer Support: The support makes up for any lack in the product. They were easy to reach. ( they even responded to my e-mail on a saturday night when the regular store hours were monday through friday ).the timely assitance from http://www.zZounds.com rated 10. The Wow Factor: This is about practicality,for me. I can do my job with out amplification , but this product imediatly makes my JOB , more profitable,in plain dollars and cents. Overall: I do not know how long ? This product will be usefull that all depends on me.
Style of Music: Public Domaine.
