Collection: Crate

Crate is an American amp-maker founded in 1978 by St. Louis Music’s Gene Kornblum, its original models even came in actual wooden crates, inspiring the brand name. Initially offering solid-state combos and practice amps, Crate later expanded into tube, hybrid, and modelling amps, gaining popularity in rock, punk, and metal scenes for its reliable tone and value. Today, it remains known for robust, road-ready amps across solid-state (FlexWave), tube (V Series), and acoustic categories (CA/CA‑DG), though production and ownership have shifted over time.
