"Real deal product for real cheap"
For this price, for this quality, for this sound, for this company, you arent going wrong if you buy it.
Sound
Got this to play with my friends, I thought it was going to sound bad. VERY GOOD SOUND, its way too good for only a little more than $100. Using a Peavey EXP and a Behringer l1200 amp head, it sounds very good. Clean highs, keeps up with the tough distortioned highs of metal.
Features
Not much more than any other cabinet, but this one has everything you really need. You can also mess with whether you want right speaker on or Stero
Ease of Use
You dont need anything but a good amp head, good cables, and a good guitar. Very easy to plug up, a little bit heavy, but here is the thing, its so solid, I took a punch at the side, only to find out that the wood is metal braced together. Very tough quality, and very easy use
Quality
Everything is in place, no bent grill or anything. The wood is super tough, it has a material that can take a good beating.
Value
This is where this product shines. YOU ARENT PAYING $600 for a similar product from a company beginning with M. You are paying for a budget cabinet that puts out great sounding audio for alot less. It will help you in your understanding of guitar, the subtle differences all come together with this cabinet. It seems to amaze me in every way. You know how hard it is to please a perfectionist.
Manufacturer Support
I havent had to talk to Crate's tech support, but I know there is one that you can call and get answers to your questions.
The Wow Factor
It has a nice Crate logo on the front. Its not too tall, I mean, thats not bad, some people might not like that. If you stack two up, you will of course be taken alot more seriously than with 1 short one. That doesnt make this thing look any worse, when people see Crate, they know you mean real business.

this is a great addition to the V33 head. They sound really good together. These speakers are better than you would expect from Crate. Get one before they are gone

perfect? no . Just about perfect for the price ? Yessir!!
Sound
First off,the speakers are coated..they need a little break-in time.I can already tell they are starting to free up..sound,especially for price,is very adequate..
Features
switchable from 8ohm mono to 16 ohm per channel stereo, light weight(43 lbs? I think), fits in trunk of car(main reason for purchase,instead of having to carry 4x12 in the truck to practices/smaller gigs).
Ease of Use
it's a box you plug in...with a switch for changing ohms.....no worries....
Quality
Here's the beauty of this thing...well made,sounds good,..I took the back off of it to make sure speakers were securely fastened(I do this to all new cabs),speakers were decent build,cabinet well made..back panel was cut so well I had to "pop" it out...all for this bargain price!I've seen higher quality, but for 4x the price!
Value
If they had an 11 for value,I'd use it!
Manufacturer Support
Don't know..haven't had to call
The Wow Factor
I'll probably pull the '50's themed emblems....
