Crate V50-112: Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad
October 31, 2008
Boasting a spring reverb tank that's more powerful than a Sherman tank, the Crate V50-112 is a tube amp to be reckoned with. In addition to its amazingly punchy clean channel, it has some of the most intense reverb you'll ever hear -- reverb so intense it feeds back onto itself. It does have a high gain channel.
Owen O'Malley breaks out some of his HAZ-VERB gear to wage a war on unsaturated tone. Tanks for watching!

owen rocks
Owen is a great presenter and player. Awesome review. Thanks.
Very nice Amp
I picked one up for really REALLY dirt cheap ($175), and I must say that Owen has hit the nail on the head about channel 2.
Though if you run an overdive pedal with it on the second channel, it really perks up a little.
One thing that Owen didn't touch on are the boost and presence switches. They really REALLY help the second channel if you play around with it.
The Effects loop can also be used as a line out to Mixer After the EQ but before the reverb.
For $200 you cannot beat this amp.
