 |
|
Ok, so I got my Crate XT120R amp Sunday (on my 18th birthday) at Guitar Center. It is 120 watts of destruction. I can't wait to play small venues with it. My room sounds like a concert every day. 
Yes the guitar on the left is an Epiphone. It was my first guitar, it's from like '79 or something, truly vintage. The accoustic is a prototype Epiphone/Gibson I got shortly after. It sounds great. But my baby is the white Stratocaster, I won't let anything happy to her.

Nice amp. My bro has one that stands 8 ft tall, and like IEG's friend, when it's turned up 3/4 of the way, you can hear it through the store about a block away...I'll always be in there and be like...Heh Matts {my bro} playing ... {Usually the Star Spangled Banner...or one of his own}.
I think it's around 300 Wats...but I honestly have no idea. It could be around 3000 for all I know 
But I'll put a pic up of that $3, 500 system...he also has {a cheaper version of{ maybe an Ephephone or something like that}} the guitar like the first one in GH...the Cherry Red Gibson. Also came with more stuff like an MP3 system that has over 400 different types of music in it {makes different sounds while playing the guitar}

How much was that beast? |
Thanks, lol. It was $299.99 at Guitar Center. But that was because they had a huge sale last weekend. You can get it for $329.99 online. Since I got the 2 year extended warranty, it came to $362.99. It is the best amp you'll find under $500. So, I'd get it if you play guitar and want a nice amp for under 500$. You can get any sound out of this thing. Once I get a digital camcorder, I'll record myself playing Fly By Night by Rush. The intro is dead on. I can get sounds for such bands from Rush to Lamb of God to Metallica to Ted Nugent.

Thank you. It is a 2004-2005 model. It has the standard Humbucker Pickups on it. As you know, there are 2 switch settings for each pickup, so that makes 6 different sounds on the guitar alone. The strat also has a Floyd rose whammy bar system. This allows for some Van Halen work to be done, I love doing the dive bomb when I play Eruption. It isn't the American Stratocaster, it is the Mexican Strat. It is a replica model of the one used by Hendrix at Woodstock '69. Only mine is right handed....

I would really recommend you talk your parents into getting it. I mean, it doesn't matter what kind of music you want to play. I can bust out SRV on this thing. I can get the Jimi Hendrix 'fuzzy' sound found on songs like Purple Haze... this thing is amazing. Also, if you're going to buy it, I'd go into your nearest guitar store (preferably Guitar Center if you have one) and just tell them you're interested in buying it. If you do that, they'll show you some different settings, turn the music down and let you play as loud as you want. Good luck.
