Ive never played through one but the other night I over heard a guy say when they start making all tube halfstacks for under $500 he would give up his Crate

Yeah, it sounds low but it might be on sale, or they simply dont have to sell it high to profit?? read; cheap labor, cheap parts.

But as the old adage goes, you get what you pay for.

As far as the Crate thing, well....

edit)
Peavey have alot of nice products, so you might wanna check this out, it may surprise you.

You couldn't give me a crate, they are junk. Peavey does have some nice things. I might look into that myself.

Crate makes a nice doorstop.

it's a single channel amp, though, that's probably why it's so inexpensive.

i've heard some decent sounding crate stuff. i'd take a higher end crate over a peavy any day, though. i've never been a fan of the peavy sound. actually, the new vampyr modeling stuff looks good. it's a peavy that doesn't sound like a peavy. sign me up.

Do you really need more than one channel with the pedals board and such ?
