Dude Crate amps are legit. I love my 130c 2x12. Has a fantastic clean channel that you can add gain to. Chorus and reverb on it is legit too. Crazy loud for 130w. Excalibur, stealth, 130c, blue voodoo, etc. def sleeper amps imo. Dont play on the distortion channel much because with an OD, the clean channel gets nice and dirty and is nice and bright and clear. Almost reminds me of a vintage sound? Either way, hella legit. Have yet to try one of those but sounds good!
Have all the models except for the voodoo and stealth. The close tube crate amp I own is a GT-200DSP but even that is more of a hybrid mosfet amp. The GX130C and Excalibur are extremely killer amps, I love both mines and the get loud very easily !! I use them for gigs and they are destroyers in tone !!
Take a look at the manual, you can find the pdf online, it is about 4 pages long, it explains a lot about the amp since it really isn't clearly marked in some places. Mine does have an effects loop, but no headphone jack.
I´m gonna spend this week listening to your playing in my mp3 player to keep that tasteful tune in my mind ..... and translate it in a natural way .... to my fingers ..... it´s a good way to learn .... and STEAL ideas. Remember, good guitar players play great songs, but God guitar heroes .... borrow ..... from others ..... all the time .... ask JH and SRV

I love my Crate 120 watt GFX 2x12.
Its made in the USA and it sounds to me like a Randall mixed with a poor mans Mesa.
I will never sell it.
yeah crate will always have a soft spot in my heart my first amp i ever owned was a little combo that thing lasted for years

You got a really good deal on that amp! 120 Watts of solid state is very loud...haha.
Awesome amp head bro. Do you ever do any trading? I live in Cincinnati Ohio. Have a good day.

Don’t be fooled this amp is loud as shit. Especially with a matched 4x12.
