crate V Series V18-112 18W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp

Great sound, a little bassy. Good blues and classic rock tone. Really loud. Sounds great without a pedal. Can't really get metal distortion, but there are tons of cheap pedals that can do this.

I've had it a couple of months and had absolutely no problems with it. I've been using it at home but would not hesitate to take it to a gig.

I love this amp. Great sound just by plugging in. Of course if money were no object I'd rather have a Marshall. At the time I got it I was in Sam Ash looking for a small hybrid practice amp to use at home. At $150 this was a steal, all tube and plenty of volume. If it were lost or stolen I would definitely get another one, if I could. Unfortunately I think they're discontinued.
