On 2003-09-07, mike rated this Crate GX-212 a 5...(5592)
Purchase: i got it at angello gallo's in farmingville, ny for about $375 (tax and all...)
Pros: i always loved crate distortion. ths lives up to it by far. it has alot of knobs and whatnot so you can deffinately find the sound you want. the footswitch is nice too, no need to buy a distortion pedal. this thing is also sturdy as hell and can be literally kicked in the grill and still work. (THANKS DAD!)
Cons: the first overdrive channel is worthless as it has no shape control. the "clean" channel isnt clean at all. the arent too many effects, just reverb. its ok if youre a straight up about metal but there could be more for the price. its also INSANELY HEAVY.
Quality: indestrucable, itll last a nuclear halocost
Review Summary: buy one if youre gonna play neck breaking straight up metal. nothing fancy. if you want to destroy ears buy this but if want to wow someone, buy a gfx or a glx. kill people
