Crate GFX 212 Review

History:

Purchase: I purchased this amp from Musicians Friend for $419.

Pros: This amp is very powerful and has all digital sound so it is always crisp and clean. The Flex Wave 5 Preamp's have such bite. The cleans are perfect and the distortion is equally as good. The 2 twelve inch speakers and 120 Watts of power make this amp perfect for small to medium gigs. I also have a Crate GX 412 Cab that I run from the GFX 212, it is powerful enough to hook to a cab and still produce perfect sound



Cons: The distortion has slight feedback when turned up loud (like any amp) but since no one uses amp distortion anymore it is not a problem when you use a pedal.

GFX 212 Quality: The GFX 212 is one of the most durable amps I've ever seen. It is all digital so there is no bulky tube accessories lugging it down. It has all the procesors bolted to the top and a very rugged outer shell. Crate has a very good reputation for making strong, powerful, durable amps

Crate Summary: The GFX 212 id so versital and it has everything one could ask for when looking for a medium to large amp. The clean channel is its best trail with perfect crisp clean tone (all digital)but the amp is not lacking in any aspect
