Sound: The sound the amp makes is awsome the clean channel sounds clear and the distortion sounds awsome the reverb sounds good too. Feature: The amps features were alright every thing was there but i was expecting a cable to hook up the cd/mp3 player input owell ill just bye one at walmart. Ease of Use: Its very easy to use all the knobs are labled and you just turn them to get the sound you want. Quality: this product is made very well it seems good and sturdy it shouldnt break if you drop it. Value: id say its good for the money Manufacturer Support: they were cool. The Wow Factor: it looks cool Overall: overall the amp is cool i would recomend it to any one who needs a practice amp. crates are awsome

Sound: The Clean Channel is great and the overdrive isnt bad but it is a little muffled Feature: i wish it was able to be foot switcheable between the channels but overall the features are good the reverb starts making noises that wont go away until you turn it off but other than that the features are great. Ease of Use: it is very easy there is alot of play in the gain and the bass and high and mid are really adjustable you can really hear them change. Quality: The amp is very sturdy i can stand on it throw it anything and nothing happens only bad thing is that the knobs can be pulled off pretty easy. Value: the price is unbeatable it is a great little practice amp and it soudns great with pedal's and effects ran through it. Manufacturer Support: Never had to deal with crate ive never had any problems with the amp. The Wow Factor: it looks great the silver and black just stand out and the vynill on the outside is prettty cut resistent. Overall: ive had it for a year i give it a nin becuase its not loud enough 15 watts is good for a keep quite dont have your mom yelling at you.but its still loud to enough that you can get people out of ur room. Stop reading this and go buy it already.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Sounds great. Gets good overdrive on the distortion channel, no buzz or hissing. Only reason it gets an 8 is overall volume. Feature: Great EQ, overdrive channel rocks. Love the mp3 in. Ease of Use: Simple, to the point. 5 minutes and you're playing. Quality: Owned it 4 months, no problems yet. Value: For a practice amp this CAN'T BE BEAT. Manufacturer Support: Great packaging, havent had to use support yet though. The Wow Factor: It's a practice amp pretty much. You won't be dragging this to your girlfriend's house to show off. Overall: Easy to use, good distortion, bright and clean when not distorted.

"Great amp for practice or live use." submitted January 8, 2009

Back to Product Information
Sound: I don't actually own this exact amp but what I do have is the GTD15R, which was discontinued when this amp was released. Comparing the two, they are identical in every way except their outer appearance. Feature: I agree a footswitch would be nice to change between the channels but you can eliminate that by using external pedal effects/processors. Digitech and Zoom make nice digital processors in a range of prices/complexities. I am using a Digitech RP80 processor with this amp and it sounds great whether its clean, distorted, or any other combo of effects you can imagine. I do, however use a little of the amps built-in reverb to sweeten up the sound of the other effects. Ease of Use: Really easy. Turn the knobs until you like how it sounds and play. Quality: This amp seems very sturdily built and is my first (and certainly not my last) Crate amp I have purchased and I am very happy with the overall quality. I also like the open back design of the GTD15R versus this amp because its a convenient place to store an extension cord when you are traveling to and from shows. Value: GREAT VALUE!!! I have never heard a 15 watt amp produce this much volume and still sound good. Thank you to Crate for their nice speakers and the 12 inch size was an awesome choice for this amp. Manufacturer Support: no problems with the amp so I haven't had to contact support. Also, the 3 year warranty gives me a little piece of mind as I've owned it a year already with absolutely no issues. Overall: I will be satisfied with this amp for some time to come. In fact, I'm considering purchasing a second and using both simultaneously for a richer sound.
