Is this amp any good?



If you mean this one...I played with a dude who had one. I played it once and thought it had one of the best clean sounds I've ever played. Didn't mess with the dirt channel so I can't comment on it. I never heard him use it either as he used a Digitech floor unit to generate all distorted tones.

No, it isn't that one, it looks like this:
I found a pretty good offer on one, and it looks great (imo)...but how it sounds, I don't know.

Cool amps. I have two freinds that own the combo and have gigged with em for 6 years with no issue. Always sounds good and both have been extremely reliable with heavy use.

I don't have any personal experience with one, but a friend of mine had one that he used with a marshall 4x12 in an emo/punk band. He got some really good crunch out of it and had one of the best live tones out of any local band i'd seen. Another guitarist was offering $700 for it because he liked it so much. I think it's the best sounding Crate i've ever come across.

I think Jeffrec had one at the NY/LI jam ? Hope he'll chime in as to what model his amp is. I was loving the Tone I got from his amp. Warm ,Smooth and Fat.

Wow, sounds like I shouldn't let this go at all.

Seriously, you folks think I should go for it? Would I regret it? Would I be able to get some rock tones out of it?

Those are nice. I really wish I had gotten one when I had the chance. The decision is all yours.

Yes, of course, but you are the experts...And I thought that maybe you would know if it's a good catch for a young dude like me.

Well, thank you for your help. I'll try to get it if possible then.

A local music store had one for sale and I tested guitars through it several times. It's an amazing sounding amp I had to keep looking at that Crate logo and shaking my head, it sounded good clean and distorted!

Cool, I'll try and get it for the price I want it for. I hope it'll be possible.

I have the 50 watt 2x12 version of it and I ripped the crate (actually just screwed it off, but in a hurry) logo off so that people would judge it by the sound and not by the name. It's a really good amp for the price range and they're right, the clean sound on it is VERY good. I was very happy with mine, and while i don't use it still, it's always there for a backup and I love it.

I used to own a club 50 2x12, actually had it for 7 years, bought it new. Then a couple of years back I traded that for the new version the VFX 5212. I liked the clean on the club 50 better than the VFX. Gain wise depends there are not bad amps but for my taste can't say they are the best. I appreciated what they delivered, learned from the amp and about tube amps then I moved on to quot;betterquot; or up the scale amps.......

The club 50 was very pedal friendly.......very nice amp.....

Hmm, I'm having doubts whether I should buy it or not.. Do you think it would work well with my JB/Jazz axe? Also, does anyone know where there's any soundclips with it?
