I have a "real" Crate guitar amp and a Crate practice amp for guitar and a Crate practice amp for bass. I'm fairly impressed. Do you have experience with Crate amps and, if so, what are your thoughts. My "real" Crate is 2 speakers and can literally implode my condo building and has a ton of settings. I like it so much that I'm going to auction my mid '70s Fender Super Reverb.

Re: A shout out for Crates
I currently have a GT65.
I had a GT-1200H, GFX-1200H, and a MX212.
As far as solid state goes, I love me some Crates. And VERY underrated!!! I can only hope that St. Louis Music comes back up and buys them back.-Greg

When it's time to bring on the death metal, only the GX-130 will suffice.

Re: A shout out for Crates
I've got a BV120H with 4x12 cab & a BV6212... Not the best for dependability, but when they're working, I love them. Very nice clean, and a super tight distortion.
But I don't play them often. I've also got a Mesa .50 cal that I play through the 4x12 more often than not. I also have a Vintage Modern 2466, with 425a & a JMP 2203. I play the Marshalls more than my other amps. Just because. It's not worth selling the Blue Voodoos, they mean more to me than the pittance I can get for them.Last edited by thunderkyss; 02-16-2014, 09:05 PM.

Re: A shout out for Crates
Dave Mustaine did a couple of tours and albums with the Blue Voodoo. Sammy HAgar had one with active tone (Red Voodoo).
I was gassing hard for one for a few years. I'd get one now on the cheap if I had a reason.Originally posted by Bad City
