Review by a visitor on 1.7.2004




It can be found mostly (I havennullt bought it yet, but have played it numerous times over the past few months) at Big Bargain Music Stores.
The original cost is $500.00, but can be bargained down as low as $450.00-$400.00; that is, unless the original cost has changed. This happens at Big Bargain Music Stores. The original price can drop as low as $400.00, enabling you to bargain from there.

 
 
  Features  
 
This GLX65 provides many features to aid you in live perfomances such as:
-The chromatic tuner found on the top of the amp is always on, with it, on the control panel, is a mute switch enabling you to silently tune your guitar without the need of a seperate tuner.
-The control panel is angled with red accents (or outlines) and a backlight switch to light up the knobs, aiding you in the dark (possibly at a live perfomance).
-12" speaker and 65 watts of power.
-3 channels (Clean,Rythm,Solo) The clean provides a nice,smooth sound, and the Rythm and Solo provide a nice overdrive crunch.
-16 built-in digital quality effects:Examples:
-Slap-back delay
-Light flange
-Heavy flange
-Slow chorus
-Fast chorus
-Chorus with small-room reverb
-Chorus with large-room reverb
-Small-room reverb
-Large-room reverb
-Reverse wah
-An effects loop with level control.
-3 bands of EQ on the Rhythm channel, dual lead gains on the Solo channel, and shape tone controls.
-Heavy duty handle with soft touch rubber grip.
-Foot switch included.
-The amp is 18? H x 20-1/2? W x 12-1/2? D and it weighs 34 lbs.

 
 
 
  Playability  
 
You can play away with this amp for hours and hours and enjoy it all. No need for extra pedals as they come with it built in.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
Perfect for small venues, as it is only 65 watts. Better performance than any Fender and any Marshall of the same wattage.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
This amp is perfect for live gigs, mainly in small venues (due to the size) and stays exactly where you left it. No adjusting needed.
weighs 34 lbs.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
My overall opinion is Excellent on this GLX65 Crate.
I would only consider (after playing GLX65 for awhile) getting a GLX120 for 100+ watts, also made by Crate.
