Crate Review: BV120

Crate Guitar Amplifiers



History:

Purchase: I got it for $425 on ebay. I got it based on reviews and the fact that it is all tube.

What I Like About This Crate BV120: I love the sound. It has a perfect crunch with my Viper 400 with emg 81's. The first power cord I hit made the hair on my neck stand up, and my mouth dropped open. I like the entire look , lights and all. My friends Marshall doesn't even have the standby light. It don't sound any better either.

What I Do NOT Like About The Crate BV120: I haven't found anything about it I don't like yet. Maybe the weight, it makes the stack a little top heavey. But it feels bulletproof, and that I like.

Crate BV120 Quality Rating: Built like a tank



Review Summary: I've only had it for 2 days, and I love it. I have 2 Crate B52 cabinets under it. The combo Rocks! The other guitarist in the band has a les paul with a Marshall stack, I don't feel outgunned at all. I wish I had bought it sooner.

Rating of this Crate product: 5

Other Crate Reviews That May Interest You:



Crate BT100 - A great amp for anyone wanting a reliable, gigging bass amp. The features on the amp mean i don't need to cart about a million pedals. Very good value for money, pick it up if you see it on offer....

Crate G1600XL Half Stack - This amp is great, there is no need in spending those thousands of dollars on those Mesa's and Marshall's. This is the amp for you, I have new found trust in Crate as amp producers. They have gained my trust. I always wanted those big Marshall stacks...

Crate GLX212 - Great product, great value. Once I'm able, I'll get a 4x12 cabinet to set this unit on (it has external speaker cabinet outputs). Plenty of guts for a good sized venue....

Crate California Classic - Good for begginers just not a good long term bass...

Crate GX-15 - I love this amp. I custom enclosed the back of mine and the bass response is cool. People are constantly surprised at its power and tone. Though the onboard distortion is not recomended. I give it a four because its power beats out the distortion...
