Crate EL-10G

I got this amp like 6 years ago, it is pretty good. It lasted (and is still lasting) long. This amp isn't extremely versatile, but it is extremely loud for an amp that is so tiny. I wish it had distortion, but it only has overdrive, and there is no switch, it is a knob, which is really annoying because I always have to be near the amp if I want to switch. This is my practice amp,it is near my computer where all my songs and guitar files (like guitar pro) are, so i can play along with my comp.

This amp is can play some really heavy stuff which is cool. It is a bit noisy when used with distortion. The amp itself has no variety what so ever, unless you fiddle with the treble, bass, and mid knobs. The clean channel is distorted only when I play the 7th string, but when i play a 6 string its fine.

It is dependable, but I owuld never use it on a gig. This amp has never broken down on me before, and I haven;t ever serviced it either.

never dealt with them

I have used this for six years and running. If this were lost or stolen, I would most likely buy another amp (a small one though because of where it is in my house). I love that this amp is small and extremely loud for its size. I have the distortion on the clean channel of my 7th string, but at least it can handle some heavy distortion.

It is a pretty good amp. I dont use it to amplify a guitar but I use it to power 2 8 inch speakers (I took the back off and use the wires going to the speaker). Its only got 1 channel though.

I has good sound. It is distorted above the 5 on volume(stock) then I put a liquid cooling kit on it I got from a computer store (I put it on the little processing chip) and now It will go up all the way. I put an ampmeater up to it and now it is putting out 20wats.

Its Extremely Reliable... Especially with all of the crap I have done with it.

Never delt with them!

Its an awesome cheap amp to screw around with. If it was stolen I would get a better one though.

I don't know when it was made it was my first amp. It has one channel and built in overdrive....i never use the overdrive because i hate it. Its my only amp so i have to use it...It's really loud though.

I always use humbuckers. And i play some sort of freestyle jazz experimental funk metal shit. I really like the thing only cus i use a digitech rp-200 with it. The rp really makes it sound sweet. When i practice with it i keep the volume at around 3 or 4. I get lots of neat feedback when i combine it with th rp. The feedback doesnt bother me..in fact i wouldnt buy an amp if it didnt get any at all..or if its feedback sounded like a queef.

I can depend on this sucker. I've dropped it thrown it across the room i dropped my guitar on it and the volume knob on my guitar broke..the whole pot, but i got it fixed. It's really reliable it's never broken down.

i've never dealt with them.

i've had it since i started playing around 2 years...i bought it along with a crate guitar which i dont use anymore. I love the fact that its loud and its not very expensive when you buy it alone. No i didnt compare it to other amps..but i was desperate. If you're like broke in my opinion get this amp only if you have an amp modeler other than that you better start performing sexual favors for a decent amp.

This is a nice simple little practice amp, One channel, Gaind and boost control,The overdrive is a little dry and it cant be switched on and off by a switch...you have to turn the knob....a switch would be much better

but what can u really expect from a practice amp

for a little 10watt this thing is extremely loud I dont use the amps distortion, I use a pedal, and it comes out with respectable tone(considering its a 100$ amp)

On Clean my humbucker pickups will tend to overdrive the amp at about 6 volume....Normally I dont like this but it when I'm playing metal it is a fairly nice crisp overdrive and It accents my BOSS HM-2 distortion quite nicely

My main complaint about the sound is that the little 6' speaker is easily overpowered by the amp, a 8 or 10 inch would have been a much better choice.

also it wont handle Down-tuned guitars very well....again, because of the little 6' speaker

This is a very dependable amp simple cause it has no tubes but I wouldnt ever use it for gigging because it isnt loud enough to hear over most drummers

never dealt with em

Ive been playing on this amp for about a year now, Im upgrading to the crate 212, I do like that fact that this thing is extremely loud for a little 10 watter, I think that its biggest problem is the tiny little 6' speaker. If this amp where stolen I wouldn't buy another because there are better ones out their (like the 212)

This is not a great amp by any streatch of the imagination but it also isnt the weakest link in my rig (that would be the crappy assed Chorus)

overall: its a respectable starters amp, but nothing more

Fairly new 10Watt amp, probably a year or 2 old. Not very versitile, but good practice amp. Very basic. Single channel, headphone jack. I wish it had stronger distortion. I use this amp for practice. Good volume range.

Using it with a Johnson Strat copy, pickup configuration at s,s,h. I mostly play metal and harder rock, but this amp is pretty weak in that area. The distortion is weak and watered down. If you have this amp and want some kick ass distortion, I suggest buying a decent distorion pedal. Not very noisy at all, very clean good sound when playing though. If you like non-distorted guitar sounds, this amp is great. The clean channel can go high, I am talking loud for a 10 watt. Great for practicing.

Knobs and controls all seem to be made of high quality materials. The box itself is pretty damn solid. Never broken down. Im pretty sure this thing will hold up for awhile too.

Not had to use it. Don't know how long the warranty is, I bought it used.

Been playing for 3 years blah blah blah. If this were stolen or lost, I would buy another amp, not necessarilly this make or model, but around the same price range. I love this amp because it is light, small and very easy to move around. I also love the volume range and the overall solidness and cleaness (sounding) of it. I hate the fact that it's distortion sounds so weak. I wish it had a built in tube driver. For the purpose which I bought if for, practicing, it is great. Good, basic, solid amp.

Just a practice amp, nothing special. One channel, and a headphone jack. It's got moderate distortion, Bass, Mid, Treble buttons. It's 10 watts. Good as a practice amp, but pretty useless as anything else.

Right now I'm using a Cort electric with a Rocktek Phaser pedal. It sounds decent, but at high volumes the thing begins to get thin and distorted. It is pretty loud though.

It is pretty reliable, it hasn't blinked out on me or anything. However it isn't too durable. I dropped it about a foot and now I can't turn down the Bass. It's never actually broken down though. I haven't had to fiddle with it too much to get the sound I want...

Good for practice, much too small and weak for performance or even practice in a band. Decent distortion, but I would've like a second channel for distortion. Unfortunately, I'll have to live with it until I've got enough to get my half stack.

2 inputs a couple knobs,none of them really do any difference

the guitar i have is a crate electra ,its a piece of crap too.this amp sounds like a donkey giving birth,my lord this thing sucksit cost about 70bucks,it isnt even worth 20.god it sucks.the only time it sounds decent is when its off,if you try and play any thing over a 2 volume,it just farts

there is a good side,this thing is only 10 watts,but it can play louder than my friends peavey 75watt bass amp,this fucker puts out!(but it sounds like shit:)

ive tried to kill it,ive lit it on fire,kicked it,threw my guitar at it,threw it at my brother,stabbed it with a knife,threw it in a lake,and threw it out a 2 story window.It will not die.DIE PIECE OF CRAP,DIE!

never had to deal with them,theyd probably laugh at me for buying the thing

if this was stolen. i would laugh because no person in their right mind would steal this.if you ever experience one of these,kill it immediatly

bottom line THIS AMP SUCKS!!!!!!
