MGR/Rick « Crate GFX1200H »
Published on 03/31/02 at 14:00Paid $350 from Guitar Center. I bought this unit at least a year or two ago, I basically was looking for an affordable halfstack but with enough crunch and gain to fullfill my sound needed for my metal band.
Just about everything on this head is great. 120 watts is loud enough for most people, though i am soon upgrading to GFX2200H, seeing my band is becoming bigger, doing more shows and needing more loundess. The shape on this head is great, adjusting it to lower setting gives less distortion but great for playing iron maiden, add more gain and you can get as heavy as metallica to jsut about anyone. Everyone may say tubes are the best, and they are great, but if you dont got the money then this is the head for you.
The only think I dont like about this head is at lower volumes I find certain settings great but when turned up i find i dont like them, fidget with the setting sto get the perfect sound.
Good construction, I drag this thing around everywhere its holds up great. Looks to small to most musicians, but then when kicked on most people drop their mouths. This head looks small and a bit stupid but throwing out 120 watts makes this a little instrument of destruction.
If you are lookiong for a digital, non expensive head this is it. Great distortion with awesome reliability. Never given me a problem. This best head for the $.
