Do you need some jazzy dark flow in your music?
This CREATE GFX212 amplifier is a controversial creature, I can not consider it as something fantastic because its sound is actually somewhat bleak, [I hope my opinion is not misunderstood].
"I like its sound", I used with a "ST III BC Rich guitar", but however, it has something that In spite of the equalization, it makes that the guitar tone connected to him feels heavy, fat, [could be the speakers, the wood of the drawer, or the simple fact of avoiding problems at ground level].
I currently like the clean channel on it with 1/3 of Reverberation. It is definitely an amplifier made to play in open environments, becuose easily starts to providing too much volume. The effects included in general are not very good, although I use some times the Delay to add it a "cascade fallen sensation" with a Analog Delay [Short Configuration] and another Digital Delay [Long Configuration] and thus try to generate a Lead Tone for "jazz fusion" characteristic of 1980.
By the way, some of these amplifiers over the years usually generate background noise [hum, crack, ziz] and it is very difficult to remove them by your own [require technical intervention]. Even if this happens, with a Noise Gate pedal the problem is done [but it is not solved with this trick, and if you don't hear it anymore, i can shure it is still there].
It is a good amplifier, to play live in medium places, open squares, kiosks, parks, theaters, or wooded terraces like Irish pubs.
It needs some free space to optimally develop its sound.
