Crate V-Series Experiences?
Over at the TDPRI, someone pointed out that Musician's Friend is selling a number of the Crate V-Series amps quite cheaply--$150 for an 18-watt 1x12 amp and $200 for a 50-watt 1x12, for example.
I've been ignoring these because I already have a Li'l Dawg D-Lux, a Gibson GA-5, a Traynor YCV20WR and I'm planning on building the Weber Pennebaker as soon as it comes out.
Nonetheless, the Crate V50-112 looks really appealing. It's a 2x6L6 amp and I'm wondering if it wouldn't be just what the doctor ordered for a cheap, clean amp. I've got the crunchy stuff covered with my other amps, but I've been on a quest for a really nice clean tone for a while. I really like the cleans on Li'l Dawg and the Traynor, but I'd love to get something that's just squeaky clean.
I have absolutely no need for a 50-watt amp, but that's what volume controls are for, right?
Does anyone have any experience with the V50 or any of the other V-Series amps?
TIA
