Although both Ampeg and Crate are made by SLM, Crate have always been their 'budget' brand. Even SLM acknowledge that (see the posts on Talkbass).
[But the crate lineage has nothing do do with Ampeg, since the latter was bought on liquidation].

I dunno.. I always though Crate was pretty cheap'n'cheerful. Ok for practice amps and all, but the guitar valve stacks sound nasty,
