Back to Product Information
Sound: I find this amp to provide solid, warm guitar tones, faithfully reproducing the natural sounds of my custom Alvarez-Yairi acoustic guitars. I have a preamp built in one guitar, and mic the other, and this amp does a great job in both situations. I use the amp for live shows; I find it has plenty of power for my needs (5-piece acoustic rock band) and always sits well in the mix. I have not recorded with this amp in a studio environment. Feature: There are some excellent features on this amp; it offers an XLR output, effects loop, XLR input with phantom power, flexible and accurate FX DSP, footswitch, and an excellent eq/notch filter on channel 1. My only wish is that Crate would have added the same eq options to channel 2, which features only an average two-band eq. I have found that at times I need to use an outboard eq with the second channel. Ease of Use: It's a really straightforward amp... everything is clearly labeled and does exactly what you would expect it to do. Quality: It's one of Crate's best amp builds, in my opinion. Everything feels solid and durable. I have gigged with this amp for years and it has never given me the slightest problem or issue. If something were to happen to this amp I would immediately start searching for the same model. Value: I love this amp... I know there are other amps out there, but for my preference and the style of music I'm playing, this amp was the perfect fit at an excellent price. Manufacturer Support: Never had a need to contact support, hope I never will. The Wow Factor: They went with the "vintage" look - tan, leather body, dark brown tweed grille, dark brown faceplate. It looks classy and only adds to the appeal of the amp, in my opinion.
