« Crate GLX 1200 H Head »

I bought it at the guitar center for 439$.the built in effects and the gain sound lured me and made me sell my line 6 duoverb.



i play heavy metal,and it's all about the sound. this amp has a the sweetest gain sound. the effects are very handy and saved me alot of pedals, it is loud, i have a blue voodo 412sl cabinet with vintage speakers: it does sound like a tube amp with the evolution 5 preamp simulation. the clean channel using the effects produces a sparckeling sound.

I truly haven't come across any dislikes about this amp head .i 'm sure that there is alot of better amps out there but i was following crate closely and i did get well informed before i bought it. i can say that its cheap price is the only bad thing that drove people away thinking that it could be a pussy.

it is fairly built ,nothing like soldano or marshall, but it is "water proof" or "road proof", never gave me any problems. meets my standards

this amp is the eighth wonder after the pyramids and the chinese wall.i love it and i 'm thinking of buying another exact pair for collection.i'm happy with it because it really defined the sound that i'm sherching for.
