GX-120/212+ specifications

The Crate Amplifiers GX-120/212+ stands out as a compelling choice for guitarists seeking powerful tone and versatility in a reliable amplifier. This model is part of Crate's renowned collection of amplifiers that combines impressive sound quality with user-friendly features, making it suitable for both beginners and seasoned professionals alike.

At the heart of the GX-120/212+ is its robust 120-watt power output, which empowers musicians to perform confidently in any setting, from intimate venues to larger stages. The amplifier is equipped with a pair of 12-inch speakers, providing a rich and full-bodied audio experience. These speakers contribute to a well-rounded sound quality, capable of delivering anything from crisp highs to deep, resonant lows.

One of the standout features of the GX-120/212+ is its multi-channel design. The amp offers two distinct channels: clean and overdrive. The clean channel delivers a pristine, uncolored tone, ideal for capturing the nuances of your playing style, while the overdrive channel offers a powerful tone with a built-in gain boost, allowing players to dial in everything from moderate crunch to full-blown distortion. Additionally, the amp includes a three-band EQ for both channels, enabling musicians to sculpt their tone precisely to their liking.

The GX-120/212+ also features onboard digital effects, including reverb and delay, adding depth and texture to the sound. These effects are easily adjustable, allowing players to craft their unique sound without the need for external pedals.

Connectivity is another highlight of this amplifier. It includes a direct output for easy integration into a recording setup or for sending the signal to a PA system while performing live. Furthermore, it has an effects loop, making it easy to add external effects processors or pedals into the signal chain.

Built with durability in mind, the GX-120/212+ features a sturdy cabinet construction that can withstand the rigors of touring and regular use. The classic Crate styling, characterized by its sleek design and elegant finish, completes the package, offering an amplifier that not only sounds great but also looks impressive on stage.

In summary, the Crate Amplifiers GX-120/212+ is a versatile and powerful choice for guitarists looking for a reliable amp that provides exceptional sound quality, an array of features, and rugged construction. Whether for practice, recording, or live performance, this amplifier is designed to meet the demands of musicians seeking to elevate their sound.
