I own the "V" variant of this amp - with two 10" Celestions. It's pretty versatile, and the tube sound can be pretty nasty... I've only ever used it (I've had it for about 15 years) by itself or with a DS1... but I'm getting a Boss Bass Overdrive (a la Buzz Osbourne of The Melvins) and some nasty-ass fuzz pedal, both of which are destined to be used in the recording studio primarily, but I'll still hook them to the Crate and it'll probably handle them quite well. GT80 (and V) FTW!

@ragejg Thanks for the comment. It's always fun to hear how others are using older, obscure equipment similar to yours. I've since bought a Line 6 Spider Valve, which I really like, but I still use the Crate for cleans, as a slave amp to the Line 6, and for playing bass (quietly, of course). My dad also plays bass and keeps joking that I should give him my Crate for Christmas because he likes how it sounds.

please for the viewers sake control your amp settings... and showing a riff without seing your left hand and berrely you right followed by 3/4 of you guitar under the table and out of the camera view its just stupid

[nprenger77]

Wow fella! You're really upset, aren't you?

Hey there I currently have a line 6 flextone 3 which I got recently and am still tweaking. I would love to hear the GT80 by itself. I remember it had solid state and tube if I am correct, and would like to hear the differences between the 2 flavours without any pedals. Is this the GT80 with DSP?. Keep rockin dude!!!! I will be putting up some playing myself soon. Wish me luck.

[nprenger77]

Really?!? I don't know of too many people that are interested in the sound of an early-90's Crate. Is this a nostalgia thing for you? I will say it does have a pretty good clean sound at high volume. You're right - it has tube and solid state options on both the lead and rhythm channels, but mine doesn't have DSP. I will try to post a video going through the stock sounds of the GT80 Quadradrive. I bought the Line6 SpiderValve in April and like that pretty well.

Meh. The tone absolutely sucked - far too much gain and treble, it just sounded brutally cold and solid-statish.

The riff itself was mediocre, and doesn't really sound 80s at all. Too heavy for a glam sound, and not fast or hard enough for something more thrashy. If anything, it sounds like a mid-90s grunge riff.

too much treble for a rythm.Crappy sound

[anarchy128]

[MrK0c]

[GuitGuyPL]
