brensabre79 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I have the combo version of this at the practice room - the amp section at the top being exactly the same as the above. I can quite honestly say it is the worst amp that I have ever had the misfortune to use. However, it cost me £20 delivered, and the Peavey Combo that cost £50 is easily 3 or 4 times better. So now the Crate is used by the keyboard player. One quality it has in particular is that although the sound is dull, it can produce an amazing amount of treble for a single tweeterless 15" driver in the form of hiss. Turning it on takes me back to a time when I was constantly told to be quiet by teachers in school. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" if you listen carefully you can hear the bass... In summary, I think they are the most accurately named amplifiers you will ever find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Not the best name, is it? Like giving a bass the brand name 'Plank' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like that Godley and Creme video from the 80s played superfast underwater! @thunderider: Step away from the Crate... Its the American Laney of bass amps, if not worse (I used to have a Laney too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Looking at that vid now, it's a lot less sophisticated than I remember! it's basically a fairly simple fade in and out of the faces, isn't it? Great idea though. Edited January 31, 2013 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Valentine Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) I have only ever used a guitar combo , it was something like gtx 65 maybe? I loved it. It was amazing sounding, exactly the sounds i wanted to get . Sold it to my guitarist because he used it all the time and he still uses it bought it 2005. Still going strong. I know they are meant to be sh*t in general but i got a good one somehow. Edited February 19, 2013 by Elvis Valentine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I read somewhere that Crate went out the game and getting a hold of some of the spare parts could be tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
