    Crate GX-15 Amp

    Crate GX15Published on 04/20/03 at 15:00
    Bought two of them from the Guitar Center in Harahan, Louisian on sale for $70 each.

    The contruction and the sound. I bought them so that I could do stereo effects from a Digitech RP300 Effect peddle. The sound is GREAT. It is really a full sound and very clean. When playing with the overdrive button depressed, it produce a fine sounding distortion. It sings, has lots of sustain when overdriving with my Gibson SG. I often play through one of them with my Strat. Sounds equally good. In fact I like it so much that I don't use the RP300 peddle much and just play it straight through.

    Since I started playing it without any effects, sometimes I wish that I had spent and extra $20 and got one with a reverb.

    Top notch. It is finished as good as any Fender or Peavy, maybe better.

    Well spent money. I tried a lot of practice amps. This sounded the best to me. I do it again. Like I said, have two, but I would buy one of them with a reverb. You won't be sorry with this one, no way.

    one of my friends gave this to me beacuse she bought a new amp, and i needed a practice amp

    well i always liked crate amps, and this one is a nice practice amp. i have an old model, but it still sounds good, it has a very nice gain and that is very important, the newer gx-15 have an even better sounding gain, the eq is good, some practice amps dont have them, and the headphone jack is really nice so i dont get to loud, and the speaker output is very usefull. its a very good beginer amp

    well i guess the only thing i dont like about the amp is that it gets kinda fuzzy and pops and high volumes but what do u expect from a little practice amp.

    i think that this i very well built and sturdy. …

    i think that this i very well built and sturdy. the quality is very good, crate is under rated, they r very nice amps for the price.

    so bottom line if u want a good sounding nice distortion practice amp and your on a small budget this amp is the one for u. i think it sounds better then most practice amps and they r not very expensive.

    UTILIZATION

    Super simple setup, you can not go wrong. is also a pti ngatif rglages so little. it's not too hard had a good sound, all fawn there's no much choice ...:- P

    but given the quality of both pti cube is easily obtained a good sound.

    I recall the manual more too but hey There's also the essence, with some small rglages for blues type sounds, types or hard rock ... I just tried me to see but if not I got put on its own.

    8 for use hyper simple (see too ...) must be drummer for not knowing how to use (lol, I just teasing ...)

    SOUNDS

    I play mainly mtal, and cole super. Submitted disto a good, rich enough, and that does not sound empty. trs sound is good, and if one has a good scratch, was really going to do it. I have a personal DK2 Dinky with Duncan and fuel design really well even with microphones means. a friend tried it with his fender strato Mexicos and has transformed from Knopfler hetfield! (Roughly EXAGRES ... should not either!)

    - I also play more blues, rock, or clean, and I must say that a will, even if the field remains the prdilection very heavy distortion. Fidler is fairly sound, but your stuff adpend wood!

    10 because the distortion is simply exeptionnelle this price and size of this amp. no competition!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have been using .......... 9!! and yes I know it's my first amp, and I worry I encore.mais changed this year (a Peavy or a crate 50 or 65, by the way if you want to advise me, do feel free!)
    proof so that this amp can do a good job trs and is robust. I even jou in a group, but the faster it atteinttrs its limit and becomes trs screaming ... but that's normal. So if you play in groups, it is not a good plan if not as I di before there's no concurrency this price and size ...

    I read on a com for GX15R for a little more money would be better to Marschall, all wrong! Like its big ERRF (MG 100 for example) is far from trs sound as strong and powerful that the crate. Peavy on the 15 is a stew. That's all what I tried.

    Of course I would do this choice is by far the best, and if I had more money, I buy a 30w ... not a Marshall 15w 0.2 cts. because at 15 there's no better.
