Crest has introduced the two Amps in their new line of Amps, the Crest E-Lite Series.
The first two amps in this new E-Lite series are the E-Lite 1800 and E-Lite 1800DSP models… Two nearly identical amps, one with DSP and one without.

Here’s a little run down of what these two amps have in common… then we’ll go over the DSP features of the E-Lite 1800DSP
