120 watts. 3 channels. Solid-state. 4 x 12 speaker cabinet.
Overview
New for 2004, the GT1200H features many unique technologies that make Crate solid-state amps the choice of players everywhere. Crate's patented "FlexWave Evolution 5" circuitry replicates the tone, response and feel of tubes in a solid-state circuit in a way that no other amplifier can. It adds a little compression, low-end distortion and a great tactile "feel" to the preamp circuit.

Solo LED: This LED illuminates when the Solo channel is selected.
Gain: Use this control to adjust the amount of distortion produced by the Solo channel.
Shape: Use this control to "dial in" the tone for the Solo channel. Rotating the control counterclockwise
enhances the mid frequencies, while rotating the control clockwise enhances the low and high frequencies.
Level: Use this control to adjust the output level of the Solo channel.
Solo/Rhythm select: Use this switch to select the Solo or Rhythm channel. When this switch is
depressed, the Solo channel is selected. With the switch in the out position, the Rhythm channel is selected. This switch is active only when the Solo-Rhythm/Clean Select switch is depressed.

"WOW!"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
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.
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.
Features
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.
Manufacturer Support
No need.
The Wow Factor
It just LOOKS metal. It screams,"Crank me, call your friends".
