Description: The Crate Vintage Club 50 is a classic all-tube guitar amp w 3 10" Eminence speakers.: 1990s Made In: United States and is powered by four EL84 power tubes and four 12ax7 pre-amp tubes. It offers two channels: a clean channel and a gain channel, each with its own reverb and tone control. If youre a fan of the tube-driven sounds from classic rock of the '70s, the Vintage Club 50 rocks! runs on four EL-84s, and apparently, they are pushed to their max to get a supposed 50 watts out of them. I've read that they are biased very hot, and that this amp eats output tubes, but the Sovteks in this amp look well worn, and possibly original, so they're either very tough, or this amp wasn't played much. The Output transformer is paper wound, which is supposed to be good for that "vintage" tone, according to Crate and the designer. You can see if has a beefy power transformer to help deliver the 50 watts. The tube retainers have a very nice and strong spring in them, and they lock into the chassis similar to Fender style retainers. The power tubes are held in with screwed-in retainers. All tubes are VERY hard to get to while the chassis is mounted in the cabinet. I think they only did this to mimic the Vox style. Amp.sounds great. Reverb is not the greatest though. 1 knob is not original. Has a few scuffs hear and there but overall sounds great!! VERY LOUD!
