It as a flat sound right of the box and a bit to much low end rumble. Anyone that owns/played one knows that. The reverb is not the best either, so I put a Accutronics full size reverb tank in mine. Now the reverb sounds great!! The speaker was my next target. I swapped out the Crate speaker, which is not the best, with a 12" JBL I had lying around and there was a very noticeable difference. Next I targeted the tone of the amp. I changed the pre-amp tube (the one that is closest to the power tubes) with a 12au7. This cost me about a 25% - 30% loss of volume but I ended up with the warmest, sweetest tone you could imagine, very similar to my '65 Twin Reverb. I also changed the other 2 preamp tubes(12au7). JJ tubes were used as the replacements.

3- 12ax7's for the preamp 2- 6L6's for power Reverb unit and speaker are not the best but, for the price you can't go wrong. It makes a great practice amp and it would be a super amp for the advanced beginner. *50 watts rms *1 x 12" speaker *Extension speaker output *2 channel (Clean and Overdrive) *3 band shared EQ *Boost switch to increase midrange *Presence switch for adding a bit more color to the output *Effects loop *2 button footswitch (not included)

Not much to say here.

The cabinet appears to be built well. It seems to be a solid amp, as you can see on youtube where someone throws this amp across the floor then plugs in and starts playing again. Could use a better reverb and speakers.

A 50 watt tube amp for under $200.00!! Great value! You can't get a decent solid state amp for this price.

Don't know as I've never needed support with this amp.... yet.

A tube amp for under $200, everyone should want this sexy beast.

This amp sounded better every time I played it.But i only got to play it about 6 or 7 times.Them nuthin.So i layed it down,took off back panel,all 3 fuses were fine,tubes fine,speaker fine,power supply board was smokin!!!!That was tonite.ive ony had it a month or 2.Im sick!!!!

Nice & simple.In order to get a good clean sound you gotta turn up the bass.Then when you hit your dirty channel your too muddy.No big deal.Just crank the treble.Or play with pedels like I do.

Shes fried.Cant believe it.Looks so well made,its got 3 fuses that didnt blow,Needs a fuse for the power supply or a breaker?This just happenedn tonite.Im ill!!

If you like Bic lighters instead of Zippo,This is the amp 4 u.Shame on you Crate.

I gave this one a ten because i havent even looked for support yet.I sure hope someone feels my pain.Youve been there.IT HURTS.

This seems like a simple problem.I wont try myself because ive messes up some good stuff.
