SlagJones Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Just got a Crate V18-112 18W tube amp with 12 inch speaker. I think a great deal for only $150 brand new. I am liking it very much and immediately heard the difference between tube vs SS. It is VERY LOUD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Congrats and welcome to the world of tube sound. I saw those Crate on sale very tempting. A lot of people say the transformers on those amps come lose. First thing I would do is make sure your transformers are tightly bolted on. If they are not that should be an easy fix...

MikeRom Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Wow, great price. I paid $130 for my Crate V8 (5 watts) but that was back when they first came out. Congrats and enjoy your first foray into tube nirvana! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlagJones Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 How you liking that V8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRom Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Great little amp. Takes pedals really well too. For cleans, not so much, pretty week there but you can realy drive it and it has nice compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
