Ok, a friend of mine brought this to my attention. Crate released a head that weighs a mere 5ish pounds and produces 150 watts. Finding this to be quite a feat and being quick to disapprove of crate I'm skeptical. I don't know when it was released so if I'm late on the ball, forgive me. But does anyone know anything about the quality of it or anything? I know it doesn't have on board effects or distortion or much of anything other than a clean channel, but I can't really find anyone else's reviews on it to tell me more than that.

I've had my eye on this little bugger as well. It gets some mixed reviews on musicians friend. One guy gave it a bad review 'cause he was trying to play an acoustic guitar through it and it didn't sound right. Well, it's not an acoustic amp. Anyway, it seems that most people that own it tend to give it decent reviews. They've got one on MF that's a blem model for 170.00 bucks.
Probably just has a small scratch on it.
