What's up with Crate Amps? Are they out of business?

2009年8月12日 · The Crate V3112 or Palomino V32 is the winner for my tastes all around. I kept my classic 30 for quite a while but finally got rid of it due to lack of use. My V32 gets used all the time. To my ears it has better clean and OD sounds hands down-and this is coming from a Peavey guy-I own three...

2020年12月20日 · I must've missed crate's heyday. I remember digging the V series, but a lot of those late 90s/early 2000s Crate SS combos when I was a kid were true trash. Not to mention every local metal band had a blue voodoo fizzing away at unprecedented volumes. This all being said, the crate powerblock...

2005年6月17日 · I know this crowd isn't that interested in $199 Solid State Crate amps, but I tried one today and I'm suprised to say it sounded damn good. Good enough that I bought one to take it home and compare it to my high-end and vintage amps. It has a clean sound that is first rate - …

2023年5月4日 · These amps were decent inexpensive and virtually indestructable amps in their day but time has really run past them, IMHO. Tones concerned, I would frankly even prefer most 1990's Crate amps over these pre TransTube Peavey thingies. Today I'd definitely go for the Cub. Oh boy, you should try the older ones.

2018年6月5日 · I’ve heard they sound great thru Crate amps. Do you dislike Creat amplifiers? Supporting Membership ...

2008年2月18日 · Are all Crate V Series amps going to be made in China now? Or will they have really good ones still made here and just have a price difference? I played a V30 the other day and Ive gotta say it was pretty neat and it says it was manufactured here and as sad as it is that means something to me...

2022年9月2日 · I have a few amps that are dead for various reasons, and I figured I may as well dabble a bit in learning to fix amps as a hobby. I looked up guitar amp troubleshooting and after a relatively thorough Google search (almost everything that I saw centered on tube amps), I came up relatively empty handed.

2010年8月27日 · In 1988, when I was a 16-year-old metal guitarist wannabe, I picked up a Crate G40C combo, with 2 - 8" speakers, two channels, chorus and reverb. It worked pretty well for my little garage band (yup, we played in the drummer's garage; very classy!), and it had some pretty nice dirt and tonal...

2019年4月1日 · I got back in town Saturday and hit up a few pawnshops since I had been away for a week. First one I walk into, I see that lovely blonde tolex of the VC series Crate amps from the 90’s. I had bought a VC30 112 as a project around a year ago at the same shop for $82.50. Well I sold that after...
