Feature:
The top feature on this amp is the "Shape" knob on the solo channel. The shape knob is the secret to my tone, and in a special solo I wrote,I use all one hand hammer on's,and use my shape knob to drastically change the tone as I go through various frequencies. I normally keep my Gain at 3 o'clock,shape at 1 o'clock,and level varying. My tone is badass.

Quality:
This amp came with a small flaw,but only in fault of the way it was shipped. It is super durable,and has an awesome metal grille,because it is too rock for cloth.

Value:
I would have expected to pay more than $500 for this package. It is incredible.

Desirability:
It just LOOKS metal. It screams,"Crank me, call your friends".

Sound:
The clean channel is the cleanest in rock,and I can take it over the top in volume,and it's still clean. The Rythym channel is thin and exposed,but I have found a use for it.The solo channel is MASSIVE. I can get Dimebag,Rhodes,VanHalen, and Zakk Wylde in an instant.

Support:
No need.

Overall:
When I am playing big venues, I will need a big badass setup. so I will have between 2-4 crate GT1200H's. I'll never change.

Feature:
It included the footswitch which made it easier to switch from rythem and clean to solo, its channels are unbelievible.

Quality:
It is well and id say pretty much no loose parts.

Value:
For the money it isnt as good as i would want it, i think if it had more features i would want to pay more, the marshall half stacks and the other crate stacks are a better deal.

Desirability:
The look appeals to me completely because the look of the metal grill and the head makes people just want to buy it.

Sound:
The solo seems to sound the best and the rythem is very good great amp if you are in a band.

Ease of Use:
You basically have to turn the nobs to your favorite way/style of playing.

Support:
I had to contact them to redeem my warranty and it went over smoothly i just emailed the company and they shipped it in.

Overall:
I will probably have this until i am ready to upgrade which is sanywhere from 2-3years.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
I like how there are 3 different channels that I can switch to.

Quality:
The product is very well and I can expect years of quality use from it. I do believe that this product would be great to take on the road.

Value:
This product is worth its price! I've seen lots of different products similar to this one but at more expencive prices and they were no where near the quality of this one.

Sound:
The sound is great, it doesn't matter if you're into blues or punk it will give you that sound you want.

Support:
I have not yet had to deal with the company that made the product.

Feature:
The features are pretty limited and straight forward. Solo channel, rhythm channel, clean channel and reverb. No other effects to get in your way, however the foot switch that came with it is junk and wouldn't hold together at all.

Quality:
The quality of the amp itself is great. I haven't had one problem with the amp, however I didn't like the tone of the cabs that came with it. It comes with mini-cabs, they're not full sized so you don't get that deep low end that I needed, and also the speakers started to sound distorted on the clean channel, so I upgraded my cab to a Marshall 1960B. But it's a great head.

Value:
For 700 dollars for a full stack and 500 for a half, you really can't beat that with a stick. It makes a great amp if you're just starting to play seriously, and after upgrading the cabs it makes a great amp period.

Desirability:
To me it just looks like any other amp. Nothing too spectacular about it. It's black color, and metal grill look pretty slick, but I ended up doing a lot of customizing to it. Then again, I like to stand out in a crowd.

Sound:
The clean channel is good, which as a musician that plays in a ska band, is a huge plus, but I'm not a fan of the distorted channels. I just use a Digitech Hot Head pedal and that does the job fine.

Ease of Use:
Very simple to use, very easy to dial in your tone. Works well with any of the pedals I've used and etc.

Support:
I didn't deal with the company at all, since I've had no trouble with the amp, so I really can't say anything on this section.

Overall:
It's a great amp. Worth the money, but if I were you, I'd buy the head, and buy a Marshall 1960 (Or any other) full sized cab. The small mini cabs don't do this head justice. Also, make sure you take good care of the foot switch if you intend to use that instead of a stomp box.

Feature:
You really don't need to have asccesories that much. The spring reverb is very good. The only thing that would be goor on it would be delay

Quality:
The quality on this thing is great, and very easy to transport

Value:
You can't get a better deal for a full stack than this. I wanted a Marshall stack, but for the same price i was able to get this, with an extra channel, an extra 20 watts, and an extra cab.

Desirability:
It looks very "NOW" It has a very appealing modern look.

Sound:
Very good sound! Rythem channel sounds just like an all tube amp. The solo channel is just a complete overdrive that you have to love, this channel easily gives you the sound of metallica's Kirk Hammett.

Overall:
I will be playing on this stack for a long time CRATE RULES!!!!!!!!!

It's great.

Feature:
the clean/rhythem/solo channels work out well and the reverb is great too. too bad it doesnt come with chorus or delay though.

Quality:
looks great, very reliable, no loose parts or any problems.

Value:
i got this for $440 used and i would have easily paid more!

Sound:
overall the sound is great. the solo channel is my favorite, perfect for leads and solos. a little bit of feedback, but that shouldnt be a problem.

Ease of Use:
if you already know what the controls do, you will have no problem setting this amp up.

Support:
crate is a good company, good reliable products for great prices.

Overall:
it was definetly worth buying this amp. while not as "powerful" as a tube amp, its still worth every penny.

Feature:
no real effects on it but i always use my digi delay and that works great.....it does have reverb and that always sounds good

Quality:
built like a tank...thats all i gotta say

Value:
At 499.99 for a half stack? this price is incredible

Desirability:
the metal grill is sic looking and having everything in black just makes it look mean

Sound:
this thing can roar, it will blow ur head off, its so loud...the only problem is that the distortion on the solo channel is a little outta control (and not in a good way) im gonna put an MXR-108 EQ on it and then this thing will be killer

Ease of Use:
ive never had to deal with an easier amp, the channel selector makes this section a 10

Support:
never had to call em and i never think i will

Overall:
overall i was very happy w/ this amp, if u like playing metal and dont have a half stack, definently check this out.
