 Crate 120 Flexwave Halfstack, June 27, 2010
Reviewer: Tiger from Providence, RI
I have owned my Crate’s for about ten years. I own three Crate guitar amplifiers, they all work great. 120 Flexwave combo, 120 Flexwave half stack, 150 Block. For the money, I don't think you could buy a better amp. They do everything thing I want them to do. They still look like brand new. To this very day I have never had the volume all the way up. Half volume is outrageous. In my book, American made Crate is great.

Crate Palomino 50 Class A/B Tube Amplifier, June 01, 2007
Reviewer: PJC1221 from Vero Beach, Florida
The palomino series is made specifically for Guitar Center stores and similar to the V series but instead of black is colored off white or Palomino. Its 50 watts with 2 channels and 2-12 inch Celestron Speakers. The sound is very warm and quite loud for a price one half the amount of a comparable Fender or Mesa Boogie. Due to the weight (62 lbs) I would suggest casters for easy movement. I believe it is good quality for the money.

 Crate GT212 Amp, May 24, 2007
Reviewer: Doug from Leverett, MA USA
Great beginner amp, good clean channel, plenty of volume for jamming with the band, pretty good rythym and lead distortion. Just a good basic inexpensive amp.

Crate GLX15 guitar Amplifier, May 23, 2007
Reviewer: Jim mingo from Canada
I bought my Crate about 2 months. It is 15 watts, it also has the solo feature gain and level, also equalization low,mid and high. I like the DSP feature the most because of all the different modes I can select. It's not that large and easy to take anywhere Also the sound quality is pretty good and it will rattle your windows. I would recommend this amp to anyone looking for a inexpensive amp that sounds like the more expensive ones.

Crate GX-140CH, May 23, 2007
Reviewer: Chuck from Divide, Colorado
140 watt boat anchor. It is an old amp but produces a good sound. I put it through a 4X12 Cab and get all the drive I need.
It has a good clean channel, however not much on distortion. It seems to go into saturation to fast and sounds like noise.
To stay away from that I use a Ibanez Tube Screamer and it works out pretty nice.

Crate KX 100, May 23, 2007
Reviewer: Jim from Jacksonville, Fl
Good Sound excellent practice amp possibly small room settings, not sure if it would have the umph needed for Bigger Gigs. (Like I do gigs, I'm just a raw beginner with to many instructors)

 GTX212, May 20, 2007
Reviewer: Chuck from Divide, Colorado
A pretty nice smaller amp. I think they could have done with fewer options to use for sound settings. Not sure who might use some of them. But for a low priced amp it does a fair job.
The clean channel does a good job.
