Members C Fuzz Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 About 2 years ago when I got back into guitar playing after taking 5 years off I bought a Crate GT1200H with matching 4x12 cab new for about $600. Back in the late 90's when I was playing in local clubs I used a Marshal Valvestate (ss)half stack with just a crybaby and didnt give a crap about tone, so I didn't know when I bought the Crate. Nowadays I am a family man who just plays in my "guitar" room. I play at least an hour every night, it is my passion and my escape. BUT, I don't see myself being in a band, nor do I want to ANY time soon. So I do not need this 120 watt ss head and 4x12, and it probably doesnt suit my style anymore. I only use the clean channel, this is my board... I am thinking I could sell it on ebay for maybe $300 (pick-up only) and get something more practical. I'm not sure I need a tube amp because I am a fuzz nut and not an overdrive type o guy. I would like a 1 channel amp if possable, maybe those epi jrs? If anyone has any suggestions on what I should do please let me know. Thanks -Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members comfortablynumb Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 You need tubes either way. Look for a Blues Junior or a Peavey Classic 20 would be nice (love mine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mike.sartori Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Can I run it into my Crate 4x12? yes, they can be used for any cabinet, although mine is actually really loud with a 2x12! I think a 1x12 or a 2x10 or even a 1x10 would probably be ideal for that amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
