Just bought a Crate Power Block and damn, I'm really impressed. I initally bought it because it had the CD input and headphones. Hooked it up to a 4X12 Crate cab to demo it, and I was blown away. I've always been somewhat of a "tube snob", but this little amp kicks so much ass I'm planning on borrowing/buying a cab and using it to gig with. Highly reccommended.
