Introduction:
Crate’s new GX-900H and GX-2200H are feature-packed, professional-strength powerhouses which can
deliver incredible sounds and outrageous volume levels. Rugged construction, reliable American craftsman-
ship and two solid state channels of pure, guitar power are some of trademarks the these new amplifiers:
amplifiers good enough to wear the Excalibur badge.
The clean channel is smooth and pure, even at high volume levels. The distortion channel offers a wide
range of sounds from slightly crunched to screaming mad, with two separate gain controls – it’s like getting a
third channel free. Both channels feature separate reverb level controls and three bands of equalization for
total tone control. The clean channel also sports a bright switch for added flexibility. The front-panel
footswitch offers “remote control” of channel selection and the dual gain controls, and the rear-panel effects
loop allows connection of your favorite effects with minimum noise and maximum performance.
The GX-900H is capable of pumping 90 watts of sonic bliss into loads as low as 2 ohms; the GX-2200H,
220 watts into 2 ohms. Be warned: Crate’s Excalibur amplifiers are about as serious a weapon as you can
wield.
