"the little beast"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
great amp for the money its tiny but has balls to it I know its not a tube amp but it has warmth to it like a tube amp. ITs not to heavy to lug around either which is a plus because of back issues,i got mine used at music go round I paired it up with a Marshall 8412 which has 175 watts handling. this amp has 3 channels a rythm section lead and a foot switch inputs in back and im guessing the affects loop. is on the right in front its not to complicated and the clean tone is great sounds real clear and crisp not raspy. overall the lead channel is awesome to and the rythm is good sounds nice and warm and no humming from it. id think that it had tubes it pumps out a good low end for when your playing heavy rythm. I did not mention this little beast is loud I played it barely on 1 and in the music store on about 2 or 3 it rattled the drums in the store it was loud. its a very good head. BUy it no matter where u get it I got a steal on mine for 59 bucks.id buy this amp and get a marshall 8412 cab with it.. if your on a budge you wont be dissapointed oh IT takes pedals well to i played it threw a boss metal zone and it sounded killer. the boss metal core also sounded good and i tried a dunlop gcb95 the wah sounded good on this head. I would recommend tnis amp if your on a budget aand trying to start a band its got power to cut threw the rest of the band. sometimes good things come in little packages.

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I like this amp so much I think I would buy another one when the warranty runs out....
Sound
I would say 11 but it's has no tubes;) It was not hard to find the real bluesy sound I was looking for.....and it make metal melt
Features
The two gain controls are sweet! -easy to use and sound GREAT with the Behringer BG412S cab....I just wish it had a chorus so I could give it a rating of eleven.
Quality
I bought mine with a blemish (hey, save a hunderd bucks)But over all I would say that it is a good looking head that leaves room for some other stuff on top of my cab...ie: wireless receiver and tuner
Value
I could not find a better sound for less money and I doubt you could either....The amp is a great buy for the money...
Manufacturer Support
I have owned a couple of crate combos and always recieved great service (FIVE YEAR WARRANTY)
The Wow Factor
It is a good-looking head but, (There is always a but)It's compact design though good-looking just comes up a bit short from its full size counter-parts

Musical Style:

Blues and even some metal ;)
