Performance
This is a 65 watt solid state amp from Crate with 65 watts running trough a 12 inch Crate speaker. Three channels, clean, overdrive one, overdrive two. I haven’t messed with the distortion channels much but they do respond well to the shape and gain controls. I use the clean channel with my Digitech RP300 processor. With this combination, this amp can get pretty loud.

Sound Quality
Good tone. Nice punch. Responds well the changes with the eq. I don’t recommend using the output for recording. I usually mic this amp when recording. The Crate speaker can handle anything you throw at it. When I tried this amp out at Guitar Center, the clean channel sounded great.

The amp feels very sturdy (solid as a rock when sitting on it.) I haven’t had this amp for a long time so I can’t tell how reliable it is.
