Crate VTX65B Guitar Combo Amplifier The Crate VTX65B features full three channel operation with independent Gain, Level and Tone shaping circuits. The DSP section has 15 Multi effects including Chorus, Flange, Phase Shift, Vibrato, Octave Down, Touch-Wah and Reverse Wah and also has 15 Delays with adjustments. Each of these can be set for depth, and then the Tap button on the front controls speed.
The Tap button and blue LED show the speed of the effect being programmed and once the proper effect is selected for each channel, simply holding the button for 3 seconds programs that customization for the channel. The Reverb control increases the size of the room and the amount of reverb simultaneously, and is also assignable separately from the other effects.
Crate VTX Series
The Crate VTX Series combines great sounding analog combos with total control over the DSP section and with vintage styling. These amps were designed for the player who is into the vibe and styling of the V-Series, but wants up to a three channel analog amp with tweakable digital effects and the ability to program up to six effects in the three channels.

| | | Subject: | VTX65B-SOUND VALUE | | Quality:
| Had never owned a Crate product before, have this one almost a year. Built solidly, not afraid to take on the road. The cabinet and controls are all good quality. | | Reliability:
| Have gigged with it numerous times and the guy the helps me to lug my stuff around isn,t real rough and equipment but the guys at clubs tha want to lend a hand are usually heavy handed. The amp doesn't have a scratch and being solidstate it keeps on ticking. | | Overall:
| If it was lost or stolen I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. I play in 2 bands, a r&b-funk unit and a rock-blues, hard country band, for years my road rig has been a Vox AC30 that i've had since '67 and an ever changing pedal board, adding this amp has changed my sound for the better and cut down on my pedal tap dance. Wish Crate or someone had a good padded cover for it that doesn't break the bank. | | Playability and Feel:
| Great controls, really easy to use. Cuts down on the need for a lot of pedals. | | Tone:
| With the onboard DSP, the varity of sounds available are only limited by your skill and imagination. I play an Epi les paul, a Gibson Paul, a Tele and just added an Ibanez Jet King 2(read review) to my road setup, they all sound great thru this amp | | Finish:
| Cabinet looked fantastic, no cuts, tears or bruises. | | Action:
| It's an amp it was great out of the box. | | Skill Level:

| | | Quality:
| | | Subject: | So Much Sound For So Little | | Quality:
| The box is solid. The footswitch is solid. The amp is solid. The sound is outstanding. | | Features:
| Already own the 212 in my studio. This one is for gigs. Half the weight. Half the power. All the same features. | | Sound:
| Incredible sound, incredible punch, quick changes to solo, rhythm, clean with the touch of the included footswitch (3 switches), and 2 dials for great effects with a save option. We cover a lot of music styles and the VTX does it all. | | Reliability:
| Haven't had the units for very long, but so far they have been reliable going from gig to gig. | | Overall:
| My next investment is going to be some Crate tube units. I feel really good about these amps. We have Vox, Line 6, Marshall, and Orange in house. I put these crate's up there with the best of them. | | Value:
| Great price for the sound, versatility, and power. |
