Great deal. Great Amp. Buy it Now.
Sound
This amp is so crisp and clear in the clean channel, the distortion channel is really great too, the solo channel squeels a little too much though... oh well;-)
Features
Footpedal, wheels.....OH YEAH! 2x12 60watt speakers!!
Ease of Use
takes about a day to set it to your style exactly, but it's not hard to do if you know how to turn a knob.
Quality
Solid, I was a little skeptical at first about the quality because of what Picky Nicky below me said about the knobs, mine is solid.
Value
Amazing for the price
Manufacturer Support
haven't had to deal w/ them yet.

I would get another one. I am waiting to see how well it holds up to a full summer of gigging
Sound
This amp supplies me with the three basic sounds I need. The Rhythm Channel can be dialed in for a really decent Blues tone. The Clean is real clean of course and seems to lack the tone control I need to get the mids and high to break out past the drums. The Solo channel will get away from you real easy. I need it for my Hendrix tunes, so I fiddle with the shape control in lieu of real tone controls, to keep it under check.
Features
Comes WITH the foot pedal, cable and casters. As before it gives me the three basic Channels I need with or without effects, essentially giving me 6. I only wish they had added a Boost that would give each channel a programmable volume increase for jumping into leads with out having to switch channels or take your hand off the strings to adjust the guitar volume.
Ease of Use
The book supplied seems to cover all the bases. The degree of control over the effects is a little wanting, but for the price and 2 knob design, you can't expect much. 1 afternoon and halfway through a Gig, I had it figured out.
Quality
Jury's still out on this one, I sent my first one back because of a short in the Solo channel Gain control. ZZounds sent me an immediate replacement without any hassle. All the knobs wiggle loosely when adjusted, and I'm sure they wont survive a hit from something bouncing around in the equipment van.
Value
For $300.00 Bucks, this amp kicks AZZ!
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to deal with Crate (Loud Inc.)yet. I would assume since they are also the Ampeg people that their service would be satisfactory.
The Wow Factor
This is my future back up amp. I intend to get a Peavey Vyper 120 (not available till August, but this amp has already proven gig worthy.
