| 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful  I LOVE THIS AMP HEAD!!, This review is from: Crate Blackheart BH5H Little Giant Guitar Amp Head, 5W All Tube with Attitude (Electronics) This thing is fantastic.I guarantee this to you: There is no head for this kind of money that comes even close. The tone is amazing, the build quality is top notch and it's a LOUD 5 watts. No master volume. Just turn it up to get some crunch. Have a pedal? Use it here. This amp loves them. I run it into a 2x12 cab with Eminence speakers. Sounds amazing. You get classic EL84 British tones with this baby.

I use mine as a high end practice amp, or using it in smaller venues. Don't worry though because I find the BH-5 amp head easily drives my 150 watt Celestion 212 bottom. Even with the 212 bottom I...

I have the bh5h stack and i love it so much i think i will upgrade to the full stack when i get the dough. It is really warm, but i suggest if you want sweet overdrive tones, you should get an overdrive pedal. (unless you can crank it.)Overall, this is a really great amp that is worth as much as amps 3x as much. |
