Now that's interesting, Marty!
Rob Woolsey has always been very serious about his "sound" and I thought he'd
pretty much want to stick to vintage Fender tube amps. That new Crate must be
purdy darned sweet or I'm sure he wouldn't have liked it enough to use it at a
gig! I take his approval as an indication that Crate musta gotten a lot of
things right with the Power Pod amp.

Woolsey used the Crate Power Block exclusively for three Detonators gigs at the

I haven't used mine since the first trial, I keep it as back up.
Yes, I really like the idear of those new light weight Jensens.

Subject: [SurfGuitar101] Marty Tippens' new Crate Power Pod
Hey Marty,
The reviews coming in on that new Crate ultra-compact, light-weight 150W amp
head, are overall, very positive, and I'm starting (gearhead that I am!) to
think about checking one out myself. Jensen's making a line of speakers that
use a neodymium magnet resulting in a 100W RMS speaker that weighs almost 20lbs
LESS than the EV12-L that I have a pair of in my Bandmaster 2X12 cab.
If I could get decent tonal quality with an amp that weighs less than my
guitar, and a speaker cab that just lost 38 lbs of weight, it would make a major
improvement in ease of transport to our gigs.
Now that you've had yours for a couple weeks, and the "new" is starting to
wear off slightly, I'm interested to hear your continuing reactions/impressions
with this amp because with the power/weight equation being what it is, at 200
clams we're talking Mega-Value here! So, any further word on that new Crate?
Regards,
Bruce D
