2000s Crate GFX-15 Combo Practice Amp

Great little practice amp, with on-board effects, made in the USA


Kind of the little brother of the GFX-212T that was featured a little while back, this guy is a great amp for the aspiring metal guitar god and an above average chorus effect makes it a versatile piece for a practice amp.

These were manufactured in the early 2000s in the USA and they're fairly solid amps. This one did need to go in for service at one point, but I haven't had any issues with it myself.

This came with an electric guitar that I bought a few months back and I basically use it to demonstrate that electric guitars are in working order. It gets a decent distortion, Crates have always been known as having a tinny sound anyway, and the on-board effects really put it over the top. These generally go for around $50 online today.

Thanks for looking, more high-resolution photos here.

2000s Crate GFX-212T Guitar Combo Amp

Great Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Amp in like-new condition 

 

This one comes from the my own personal collection, purchased brand new in the summer of 2002.

The amp is still close to brand-new, as it's barely ever been used, aside from some light use for recording in 2004 and exactly 2 live shows in 2005.

It comes with the original foot-switch, has a built-in tuner, which always comes in handy and 8 built-in effects. Reverb, Delay, Chorus and Flange have multiple notches on the dial and the level knob allows you to control just how thick or thin you want the extra sound in there.

Inputs: 1
Power: 120 VAC, 60Hz, 95VA; 100/115VAC, 50/60Hz, 95VA; 100/115VAC, 50/60Hz, 95VA
Channels: 2 (Overdrive and Clean)
Overdrive: Gain 1/2, Shape, Gain Select, Low, High, Level and Channel Switch
Clean: Level, Mid, Low and High

In/Out: Connects external effects and speaker cabinets

Speakers: (2) Crate Custom Design 12”, 8
Speaker Impedance: 120W RMS @ 5% THD, 4
