Thought I'd give you guys a heads up on this. IF anyone has been thinking about the Crate power block amp, Musi 123 has them on sale right now at $99.
You might have to act quick though, last week Musicians Friend lowered the price and now it' back up to $199. So Music 1233 could bump the price back up any time.
I picked up one for my son to use as a backup amp (10 lbs) with his GNX4 processor in front (supposedly what the power block is made for). So far he says it's working great (though he hasn't put it in a band setting yet).
