Great amps! I'm torn between getting one of these, or a Line6 Spider 2x12. Their bass amp line was great also! They should consider bringing them back.
less reverb, less gain and above all mate less treble(never more than 6/7) use the mid instead for that crisp crunch ur after and for everyone else gash mics are very honest and useful for picking up on a bad sound but this is cos of a bad setting
@niertyUK ok dude.. go to my channel look up d3100 metal and listen to what a decent mic sounds like... very simmilar settings to what i had in this video... it was the camera it was a $100 camcorder you couldn't expect alot from it
LoL at the ignorant bastards who say this amp sux, I played through a crate head and it looked pittyfull but the sound was something to cream yer pants over... creat are good amps which is why i am investing in this amp next.
i have this one and i dont know how to work it, the channels are all screwed up and the footswitch doesnt click the right channel on. the yellow works fine, but if i want to turn the red one on, i have to turn on red and yellow. blue doesnt do anything, theres no green. how do i work this thing?
@psycho826 the red and yellow both have to be pressed for the red to be on you have to unpress both red and yellow for green or just press yellow for yellow the blue switch is for your effects when its on your in the first bank of effects when its off your in the 2nd bank of effects.. so basicly when the blue light is on change your effects to how you want them then when its off turn all the effects knobs off and every time you click the blue button your effects will turn on
@psycho826 Hmm the tuner shouldnt be making a sound.....mine is silent. Umm the only thing I could think of would be a bad connection between the board and leds
i played out of this amp today and i was sorely disappointed, it cant really sound good with anything but metal. i personally liked the sound of the crate V series 50 i used, it was a lot nicer. if your considering this amp play it in person, through a guitar as close to your own as you can get at the shop. i mean yeah its a decent amp, but theres better out there, you can get tubes for the price of this
hey man i got that same amp and for some reason mine has some echo effect even wen the effects are off and the delay is too. the destortion sounds terrible with the effect on it too. like i said its like a echo sound. do u know wats wrong?
im gonna have this (i al ready own it) and use the exit speaker on the back nd plug it into a ibanez cab and 2 extra ibanez stacks when i get it.... wonder how loud its gonna be
in this video, no offense, but the amp sounds like crap. its probly the camera. but does it sounds awesome in person? my friend wants to get on and i wanna make sure he is getting a good amp.
very nice man.. yeah people dont realize that it depends on the speakers they have on their computer and the way it is recorded through but i think it sounds awesome even through my 2 dollar headphones lol.. nice playing ..
This amp is quite cool, i heard it one. nice sound! but, do you have any live experience with it? Can I turn up the volume loud enought for a liveshow with like 400 peoples?
@TheSchafer78 tu plaisante? c'est trop naaaaze merde ! je préfère encore de loin le son du Spider III de Line6 (pourtant c'est un des pires amplis que j'ai essayer !!!!)
@phred754 dont judge the amp by the sound of a 50$ camera mic its not true..idont understand why people complain so much listen to the amp in real life before you say anything
@sniperking1990 Dude I know....Ive had my amp for.......9 months now? This thing is AMAZING. Whoops everything in my opinion except tubes and marshalls
yea man i got one its what i do all my covers on... honestly ive played lots of solid state amps and i personally think this is the best one and you do get killer distirtion... very heavy for sold state.. great metalica
Okay- Had to mute halfway thru the video.. No prob, heard worse before. Player has a mute problem, learn how to press down with your playing hand palm to mute your string when playing metal kinda stuff.. Crates are good, Line 6's are good. I've toned in both. Crates have 'fuzzy' distortion, Line 6's, their clean channel sucks my ass, but hey, They rock mostly for the price! Any negative stuff-post it, it's all opinion, and we know what opinions are like!!!
I really don't like the sound of this amp. Maybe it would sound better in person, idk. Just seems harsh, mids are just not present, high frequencies are a bit overpowering. Just my opinion, I guess. And line6 is far from being shit, you just have to know how to use the stuff.
the mids were probably scooped out with the shape knob there is alot you can do with the amp once it is learned i only had this amp a few weeks when i posted the video and i bet the mids were low to nothing
no dumbass you cant. cuz with line6 it sounds all fucked up cuz the pre-sets. line6 is shit. crate is the best metal amp (notice how no one uses line6)
is that so, you might want to talk to Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath.....or how about Trent Reznor of NIN....go ahead and check out the artist list on line 6's website...just because you cant figure out how to use the amps doesn't mean its shit. I believe quite the opposite. I had a flextone II for 4 years and I could dial up any tone/amp/cab/effects i wanted
it should, i havnt tried but the plug inserts in the back are meant to be there for a reason, if you have a owners manual check it out, it might say something
what are you talking about? it doesnt matter that you can't hook up effects to them, it has good enough effects on it already. what makes it work better with line 6 pedals than others? nothing, you dont know what you're talking about
line 6's arent that great , compaire to a marshall, vox, mesa, or crate, but a line 6 is kinda like the "jack of all trades" allot of various tones, but nothing over the top.
it is the camera trust me because that camera never picked up any low end at all check out my new video heavy metal happy birthday to get an idea of the real sound...
I don't own a crate, I play it at my friends house when I bring my guitar over. Did you get the cheap old ones? they aren't that great. But the halfstack is a big difference and that's what my friends has. And I think you just offended my friend for saying that crates are for people who don't know what a good amp sounds like. I never said anything about people who use line 6's...
Im glad you don't. I only recommended Line 6 if your on a budget. If your not, Go with a good solid tube amp. (Bogner,Engl,Madison,Peavey,ect) I owned a blew voodoo head and it blew on me within the week that I owned it. It was brand new and the piece of crap didn't last even 2 weeks with me and I ALWAYS take good care of my gear. it was just a piece of crap. Crates are for people that cannot afford good amps. Plain and simple. Just telling the truth.
It isn't "way too digital" as you put it. Line 6 takes the sounds directly from the tube amps in there tone labs. Know what your talking about in your next post.
XD Your funny guy. Line 6 drains all the tone and their TUBE amps even sound digital. My dads been playing crate amps for OVER 20 years and they sound amazing. My friends Line 6(he just got it half a year ago) just broke and i was told by a guitar center employee that the motherboards fry all the time. I have an 120 crate half stack and a 40 watt combo amp. The 40 watt is over 20 years old and it still sounds amazing. You don't have a clue what your talking about.
Just because your dad has been using crate amps for over 20 years means nothing to me or anyone. That means nothing. Crate amps still suck. How many pre amps is he running to make it sound good? A dozen? Plus a power brake? I do have a clue, you just don't want to hear someone else's opinion. That's your problem not mine.
dude, Line 6 has a computer in it which drains your guitar tone. Meaning it's more difficult to tell the tonal difference between two guitars. And so far Line 6 has been having a bad reputation which I didn't really expect. I don't think crate is THEE worst though, there are others out there to be shunned
I disagree. You name one other amp company besides Crate to be the worst amp company out there. Name one! Even Behringer amps blow crate out of the water. B52's are even better than crates. Crate has a horrible reputation. What are you talking about?
never get cheap marshalls. And they are expensive because of their brand name. So if you want a good Marshal, you should buy the top ones. But I think crate will be your best deal.
well if your looking at your first band the 65 watt version may not have quite enough get up and go to get over the drums without distorting. however if you even think about the 212 version dont buy it get the peavy winsdor. its a 100 watt all tube half stack for 399$ on musicians friend
then dont.... im not forcing you to listen to it but im just saying go to your local music store and try it. it actualy sound sgood in person. Sure you can get a better amp than this but not as loud and for the same price
Yea theres a footswitch with it and actualy its pretty cool because you can switch be tween 2 banks on each channel so you can set 2 different effects per channel witch is nice
depends if you want a lower end sound and a little bit louder go for the halfstack if you you dont need a huge gig sound go with this it still pumps out some volume
Tube is overrated and antiquated solid state sounds way better and heavier by far. I love how people are hung up on price and rep but it's all about sound and style, equipment is second to talent.
Panthrfan, I have the same problem. I have a practice amp that's 30 watts. And at about 2/10 ways up it's too loud. But when you're in a garage or on stage, it's not loud enough.
i found this amp at $150 new, bargain! i've got a Marshall JCM 2555SL beautiful tube head, everyones going on about tube being better than solid state but i tell u, i'm going using this amp for majority of gigs, this amp is going be so much easier to maintain and move around!
yeah. im thinkin it is a shit cam. one thing about the amp. on the hi gain channel, is there a 3 band eq? how does it work? i read there wasn't. thanks in advance. Keep rockin dude. that was a great demo and you got great chops!
how many times do i have to tell you people its not how it really sounds its just in the general area my camera has a pinhole mic not a condenser micraphone...
Sounds like a bunch of angry bees to me. Your playing is great, But Crate amps still lack the true tube sound that tube amps deliver..I guess crate still uses printed circuits rather than point to point wiring. Your amp sounds great on the clean channel. I know your amp is a tube amp but lacks the density of a tube sound do to the printed circuit boards.
turn down the reverb alway, and the delay, buy an equalizer, switch your guitar back into tremolo, out of rythm, turn down the bass, and make it sound actually good, and if you`re gonna play crazy train, learn how to bend a note
you people will never understand i didnt pay this perfectly because i was just showing what the amp sounded like and how much sustain it had quit taking this video so seriously thinking this is how i always play
How about some help with the footswitch set up if you have time. I'll sent you a joint! hahaha just kidding!

never get cheap marshalls. And they are expensive because of their brand name. So if you want a good Marshal, you should buy the top ones. But I think crate will be your best deal.

yo man am gettin the 65watt version would it be ok for a FIRST band cause you can plug it into a cab cant you??
shakeshaftthomas 2 years ago
well if your looking at your first band the 65 watt version may not have quite enough get up and go to get over the drums without distorting. however if you even think about the 212 version dont buy it get the peavy winsdor. its a 100 watt all tube half stack for 399$ on musicians friend

redbee28 2 years ago
then dont.... im not forcing you to listen to it but im just saying go to your local music store and try it. it actualy sound sgood in person. Sure you can get a better amp than this but not as loud and for the same price
sniperking1990 2 years ago
Yea theres a footswitch with it and actualy its pretty cool because you can switch be tween 2 banks on each channel so you can set 2 different effects per channel witch is nice
sniperking1990 2 years ago
im between the flexwave 65 or the marshall mgdfx30. Can you make this amp sound like a marshall?
DanielPro21 2 years ago
have you decided yet on the amp?
trupiano93 2 years ago
which is better halfstack or this
bradman158 2 years ago
depends if you want a lower end sound and a little bit louder go for the halfstack if you you dont need a huge gig sound go with this it still pumps out some volume
sniperking1990 2 years ago
sounds like NOISE NOISE. not impressed ,sorry!

When you use overdrive/distortion, do you have the blue light activated too?
ProtestTheRomeo 2 years ago
the blue light swtiches from 2 effect banks , you can stroe 2 presents in each of the amp's 3 channels.

Tube is overrated and antiquated solid state sounds way better and heavier by far. I love how people are hung up on price and rep but it's all about sound and style, equipment is second to talent.

this amp isnt a bad amp i have the flex wave half stack, its GREAT for gigs, i perfer a tube amp but this is just as good for the price
xhatexmexnot 3 years ago
how loud is it at 100% volume???I have a 10 watt and I can't take it to 100% in my room how loud is yours?
Btw good job on Crazy Train!
panthrfan1 3 years ago
well lets just say with mine with my windows open i cant take it to 100% on my block....
sniperking1990 3 years ago
do you know how many decibels it is?
panthrfan1 3 years ago
Panthrfan, I have the same problem. I have a practice amp that's 30 watts. And at about 2/10 ways up it's too loud. But when you're in a garage or on stage, it's not loud enough.
Femicide09 3 years ago
i found this amp at $150 new, bargain! i've got a Marshall JCM 2555SL beautiful tube head, everyones going on about tube being better than solid state but i tell u, i'm going using this amp for majority of gigs, this amp is going be so much easier to maintain and move around!
raydeater 3 years ago
yeah. im thinkin it is a shit cam. one thing about the amp. on the hi gain channel, is there a 3 band eq? how does it work? i read there wasn't. thanks in advance. Keep rockin dude. that was a great demo and you got great chops!
oldGNRfan23 3 years ago
sounds as tho alot of people are giving you shit about how tube amps are better. but for a quarter of the price, it sounded pretty good.
good playing man
dkbikes112 3 years ago
its probably just his camera
Drumboy27 3 years ago
yes it is just my camera seriously im gonna have to get something set up to record better sound so everyone can really hear this thing scream
sniperking1990 3 years ago
I think it sounds great, I tried one of these out a while ago. That crappy sound is from the microphone.
Besides you gotta try an amp in person, not look at reviews online.

terrible tone tbh, turn down the gain a ton.
chriscoooley 3 years ago
dude.... the gain is really not a factor on the "HIGH GAIN" channel if you turn it down it sounds virtualy the same at high volumes..

I just bought the 1 x 12 crate fw65 and it fucking kills, it cost me 315 $ and have a very good garanty.
zerogravity121 3 years ago
ok now think of that about 30 decibles louder! and you have the 2x12 version
sniperking1990 3 years ago
Sounds like a bunch of angry bees to me. Your playing is great, But Crate amps still lack the true tube sound that tube amps deliver..I guess crate still uses printed circuits rather than point to point wiring. Your amp sounds great on the clean channel. I know your amp is a tube amp but lacks the density of a tube sound do to the printed circuit boards.
kevykev38 3 years ago
this is a solid state amp, not a tube amp.
djaeckels1983 3 years ago
sounds kickass
guitarfreak714 3 years ago
turn down the reverb alway, and the delay, buy an equalizer, switch your guitar back into tremolo, out of rythm, turn down the bass, and make it sound actually good, and if you`re gonna play crazy train, learn how to bend a note
Kynman123 3 years ago
you people will never understand i didnt pay this perfectly because i was just showing what the amp sounded like and how much sustain it had quit taking this video so seriously thinking this is how i always play
