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.

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.

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.

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

No need.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

All types of rock, a lot of Metallica,

60 years worth of musicial memories

everything except rap and and punk

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

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

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

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

At 499.99 for a half stack? this price is incredible

never had to call em and i never think i will

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

Heavy metal shred ur head off gigger

malmsteen/wylde/rhoads/dimebag/hammett...Shred

It has a grate sound but low output for clean setting it is based more for distorted rock

Nothing all that special that i didnt get from my behringer gmx 212 and that has 90+ effects

Built like a brick wall (very Heavy)

got a good price of 599.99

CRATE HAS GREAT SUPPORT!!!!

HUGE just HUGE

I do al from blues to metal and mostly rockin tunes

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

I like how there are 3 different channels that I can switch to.

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.

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.

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

I think it sounds great. It was just the sound i was looking for.

It only had three chanels but thats all i needed. The footswitch was kool too.

It was made very well. All the parts seem to be on tight. I fear that i won't be giving this amp up for a long time.

It's great.

Again, It's great.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

this works perfecly fine for metal core or punk rock

its looks ok but its what it sound like right

this is so easy to use its like the instuctions are on the amp head

this amp is my faveorite one i ever had and ive had about 7 all half stacks

this is fine for how much i paid for it ive seen the same amp for like $899

oh yes

its the desire to want this amp to help out my band with there sound or to practice

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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