Crate Review: MX120R

History:

Purchase: I bought it at Guitar Center, VA. I got it for $350US. I got it for my bands gigs.

What I Like About This Crate MX120R: I am very pleased with it. I needed something that could crank up really loud to compete with my other band members marshal half stack. Let me tell you, through this amp up on a stand and tilt it back and you'll be able to tear up with those stacks. Its got great tone on clean, and then the distortion on this thing is amazing. You'll be very pleased at how heavy the distortion on this is. With the 3 channel footswitch for the distorions and reverb (which is great too) I have been very pleased with it. Its def. worth it. PS - Play with a Danelectro Octave Distortion pedal. Amazing!

What I Do NOT Like About The Crate MX120R: There isn't much I don't like about it. Because of the volume this thing can achieve its hard to get it soft. Once you get it low enough to play around with inside your house its pretty good.

Crate MX120R Quality Rating: It seems durable. Its big. I'm very careful with my stuff though, so its great for me.

Review Summary: This amp is great for bands who gig. I'm in a hard Christian rock band and its an awsome amp. If you want to hear it check out my website and download one of my bands songs. I play rythm. www.geocities.com/saxdave244
