ABOUT

THE

GT-200

The

Crate

GT-200/200H

Quadradrive™

is

truly

unique

and

versatile.

With

four

separate

Gain

controls

(all

foot-

switchable),

two

separate

channels

(footswitchable)

and

your

choice

of

tubes

or

solid

state

(also

footswitchable),

the

GT-200

gives

you

more

"sound

per

pound"

than

any

other

amp

of

its

kind.

Use

the

Solid

State

Rhythm

preamp

section

for

today’s

sound:

crisp

highs

and

a

tight

bass

response.

Use

the

Tube

Rhythm

preamp

section

for

that

vintage

tube

sound,

from

ultra-clean

to

a

bluesy

crunch.

The

Solid

State

Lead

preamp

section

gives

you

all

of

the

traditional

Crate

Mega-Gain

hard

rock

sizzle

and

fire

with

lots

of

definition

and

compression.

And

the

Tube

Lead

preamp

section

starts

with

a

bluesy

crunch

and

can

deliver

everything

up

to

screaming,

tube-driven

lead

distortion

with

plenty

of

sustain

and

to-

tal

tone

control.
