Any thoughts on the The Crate RFX65

[Scallywag]

I have an opportunity to pick up a used Crate RFX65 combo amp fairly cheap ( under $90) and was wondering if it's any good for use with an RG1570? I typically play classic rock and some simple shred solo's nothing to out there.....

Thanks

A friend of mine has the 2x12 speaker 120 watt version and it sounds ok. If you don't have an amp now, go for it. I owned a similar crate 65 watt 1x12 a while back and it was good for jamming around, especially if you use pedals for your distortions on the clean channel. I wasn't a huge fan of the rock tones from the crunch channel and the metal tones were a bit mushy. It was fine for practicing though.
If you just want something cheap, loud, with effects and easy to carry around with you to a jam or something, I think it'll work. If you're looking for something to play out with, I would probably recommend saving and getting something a little better.
