Back to Product Information
Sound: I'm a performing singer-songwriter who plays many outside gigs, as well as inside, and the Limo is the bomb. I plug in a mic and a guitar and off I go. A great step up from the Taxi, if only for the powerful battery that holds a charge longer, it seems. I can't say enough about it. I'm ready to do a commercial for them ;) After playing with a lot of different gear, this is my #1 choice. Have had a Taxi amp for more than a decade and the Limo for about 5 years. Still going strong. Value: A little on the pricy side for some musicians, but well worth the investment. Just don't lose the charger... sigh. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had to deal with support. Had to get a knob fixed on the Taxi, but it didn't cost much. Went to a local shop.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: probably the best sound youre going to get from an acoustic guitar amp... then theres the pa side. its very exceptional, too. there are acoustic guitar amps that are as good... but much more expensive. the limo is as good, and cheaper. and a great little pa for voice. ive had one for 6 years and have used it quite a lot, especially in the last year when i went solo, again. it sounds so good, that i ordered another, even though i have a full pa system with jbl eons, power amp, eq and mixer. the size and weight of this unit(s), and the sound(s) is so attractive, im leaving the full pa system at home. i use one for small to medium size rooms, and will use 2 of them, for anything larger or outside. absolutely, cant beat the sound. the only downside is the openly exposed pots... crate needs to creat a built in cover for them during transport. then this unit would be PERFECT. randy z Feature: a built in cover for the controls. they are much too exposed for transport. Ease of Use: controls are a little touchy, but you can get use to them and find wonderful sounds for solo acoustic guitar and vocal. hard to beat. Quality: still needs that cover for the controls during transport. ARE YOU LISTENING CRATE, as you claim that you are... rz Manufacturer Support: called em once to find out if you can link two of these in series... you can via the insert. just go in one click. they were helpful. Overall: just put on the cover for the control area.

Back to Product Information
Overall: The Crate TX50DB has been around for a few years. I've had mine since MARS Music went out of business, probably about 9 or 10 years now. I have had to replace the battery, but other than that, this little unit has been a real gem. Originally purchased to play bass through at the beach and at bonfires where there is usually not an outlet, I have used this amp for so much more. It makes a great little portable "boombox" wit an I-pod plugged in through the RCA jacks.It also makes for a great practice amp. You can plug in your guitar or bass along with the I-pod and even a microphone all at the same time and play and sing right along or plug in headphones and practice quietly. The onboard effects are just enough to add a little sumpin-sumpin to enhance vocals or music output.Love the Limo!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
