"A PIECE WORTH THE MONEY"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Overall, this is a great piece, I would buy it again, it is real heavy, too heavy for us old folks. Controls are tuff to see, it does have some hiss to it, and Crate needs to offer a cover for it. The Ultasonic amps are about the only amps that I know of that would be as good or better value
Sound
This is a great sounding acoustic amp, very crisp and clear. The chorus and reverb match the amp pretty well, however I have had trouble with feedback in small venues. I play an Ovation Elite, and a Takamine -EG330-C, and they both sound wonderful through this amp, This amp does have some hiss to it at high volume, and it is heavy. If I had to buy again, it would be this, or a ultrasonic
Features
It comes with a foot switch, for reverb, and chorus
Quality
solid as a rock, but its hard to see the controls in a dark area
Value
Good bang for the buck, the only other amp that is a better value is a ultrasonic
Manufacturer Support
I have not needed the company, but I have friends that have, and they say that Crate is good to deal with
The Wow Factor
It is a good design, I wish the controls were easier to see, and Crate should include a cover for this amp

Musical Style:

Blues, folk, finger picking
