Review by Geddy on 1.2.2004




I bought this amp at my local music store back in September, they ripped me off. I paid $340 for it there, later, I looked it up on musiciansfriend.com and found out that it was selling for $280 on there. I hate my local music store.

 
 
  Features  
 
This is by far the coolest bass amp I have ever used. It has many effects, whish are: Delay, Echo, Octave, Funk-Wah, Flange, Chorus, Hall, Chorus/Hall, and RM. I am not sure what RM is, but it sounds like a mix of Flange and Hall. All of the effects are of great quality, and sound excellent. You can even get that hollowed out sound like in "Roundabout" by Yes (just an example, theres other songs with that sound, when you hear it, it really sticks out) It has 4 equalization controls: High, Hi-Med, Lo-Med, and Low. There is a master volume control, a speaker output, and a headphone output.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
You can get just about any sound out of this amp. It may only be 25 watts, but it can get LOUD, and still remain clean. Itnulls much better than any amp I have ever played on. I even play my guitar through it often, just for the effects. You can even take the cloth screen off, like on a subwoofer, for a crisper, more thumping sound.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
This is by far the best amp I have played on, itnulls of great quality and workmanship. Crate has great Bass amps, and guitar amps too(crate are all I buy)
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
This is about the most durable amp out there. It is surrounded by one inch of oak, so its not going to be affected if you drop it. The only thing i donnullt like about the added protection, is it adds a LOT weight!
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
This is the best amp I have, and will have, until I get a bigger one just like it (of course). I love Crate amps, this one is exceptionally good. The best Crate bass amp series is the BFX, and thatnulls what this one is!
