Crate V3112T

Crate V3112T Crate V3112T Description: Take a look at an incredibly expensive boutique amp. Chances are it is a cathode-biased 30-Watt Class-A design. And that's no accident-they sound fantastic. At moderate volumes, four EL-84 output tubes produce a hypnotic chime with incredible feel for the guitarist. Take them into saturation and they give you a multi-dimensional, singing roar of pure articulation and sustain. We studied these boutique amp designs to come up with Crate's two-channel V3112T combo. Thirty-three watts of all-tube Class A tone through a single, premium Tone Tubby 12" speaker will give you a feel and touch-sensitivity you'll not soon forget. The new V3112T's boost function pumps your solos above the band, while the three-band EQ lets you dial in an array of sweet EL-84 tones. An internal spring reverb unit produces a huge, wet sound. All this sonic firepower is housed in a compact, overbuilt cabinet and chassis, ready for studio or stage. This combo amplifier packs a whole lot of vintage tube sound into its compact cabinet - giving you an amp that's portable and easy to operate yet still produces incredible sounds!Like all St. Louis Music amplifiers, your V3112 is designed by musicians, and built using the finest components available. Extensive testing confirms that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be. In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly urge you to read the information contained in this manual before you begin playing.
