MGR/Nat Montalbano « Crate GX-15 Amp »
Published on 04/20/03 at 15:00Bought 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.
