Crate

Description

The Crate two-channel V33-212 combo produces 33 watts of all tube Class A tone through dual 12" speakers. Set one channel for crystal clear cleans, and the other for overdrive. The power section features four EL84 cathode biased output tubes you can goose with a boost function that lets your solos soar above the band. The three-band EQ, fluid channel switching and spring reverb give you ultimate sonic control in a loud, durable package.

The British invasion not only brought long hair, Cuban heels and phony accents to our shores, it also brought the now-classic cathode-biased 30 watt Class A guitar amplifier. At moderate volumes, these gifts from the Commonwealth produce a fantastic chime that will be your ticket to ride. Crank them into saturation, and you'll have a multi-dimensional roar that will cause any bohemian to rhapsodize on their articulation and sustain.

Just the smell of those glass bottle tubes blazing with fire gets amp aficionados to perk up and lose their cool. Giving our all for the evolution of all-tube tone, Crate's V-Series amps produce the sweet cleans and earthy distortion that can only come from tubes. Roadworthy construction, modern features and genuine value are causing legendary players and novices alike to develop a thermionic love-Jones for the Crate V-Series combos.

    I have owned the V33-212 for three or four months. I play rhythm in a classic rock and blues band. I did feel like it has a muddy tone and have to play around to get the right sound. I have a G&L legacy, which is like a strat, and a Gibson Blueshawk, with P-90 type PUPS. I have to turn the bass, mid and treble way down to get a good clean sound at volume. I have been using pedals into the effects return with very good results. Gigging is fine. I have enough volume to keep up with the drummer,bass and lead. The band is impressed with the V33 tone vs. my old Classic 30 or Ampeg Superjet. I am very happy with the price/performance for a loud enough tube amp.

    I had a 100 watt rogue solid state. I purchased it to get enough sound to keep up with the drummer in our band. it did a good job, but I felt it was always lacking something......TUBES!!! let me just say the cleans on this are heavenly. the reverb chamber is the size of a shoebox. you wil not regret this purchase. You can even change the tone by changing the tubes. As far as loud, I was worried 33 watts wasn't enough. it's actually 28 according to owners manual. at 1/4 turn I was shaking my whole house NO KIDDING. no metal tone. more like zztop.
