MGR/Kannibul « Crate GFX212 »
Published on 08/23/01 at 15:00I paid somewhere around 400.00 for it. I traded in my GFX-30, which I got back $110 on.
I bought it from Music-Go-Round (new, still in box)
I bought this amp as un upgrade for my GFX-30, which I also liked very much.
This amp comes with 2 12" Crate Custom speakers, and pushes a whopping 120WATTS!!
even though it is solid state, it still shakes the house with its sound. It has two gain channels with a 2 band EQ, which when tuned right, sounds like a tuba amp (thanks to evolution 5 tube simulation) and a clean channel with 3band EQ. It also has an external speaker output, dual footswitch jacks (pedal included) and a effects loop. The GFX series has DSP built in, with 10 effects types on it. With this model, you almost don't need any effects.
It weighs alot for its size. Hard to carry up 2 flights of stairs when it weighs 50 lbs and has only the top handle.
Very good contruction, it had the rubber feet on the bottom, plus the holes for casters (the metal part they fit into)
my only complaint is that they should have put two side handles on it to make it easier to move.
The sound is about as close as you can get to a half stack without spending the high amounts of cash. it is also more car friendly, meaning it will fit.
