try it first definately.....i have a crate blue voodoo, i love it but it is a tube ampnot solid state like this one......you may not like the distortion or the effects....you may get a better amp for that $$ or for a tad more. this for example http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Line-6-Spider-II-210-Combo?sku=482245 is even cheaper and probably better
