Description
From Our Catalog
Take a simple cathode-biased Class A tube circuit, add a tone stack and 12" speaker, and you’ve got a small recording/practice amp with some lead in its pencil.

The new V18-112 combo features a single-channel 18 Watt Class A design with gain and master volume controls, 3-band EQ, and spring reverb for awesome tone and versatility. This baby produces sweet cleans and the warm, crunchy overdrive that can only come from its dual cathode biased EL84 output tubes pumping their searing mojo into a single 12 inch speaker.

" Super Deal on a Class A Tube Amp."
Feature:
All the knobs I need.

Quality:
Nice Plywood Cabinet. Great looks.

Value:
Class A tube Power at this Price.WOW!

Desirability:
This Is What I Have been looking For. Sounds great thru a Marshall 4/12 Cab too.

Sound:
This Amp has that sweet voilin like tube sustain that I have been seeking for years. Now, if You are a metal Head, You Most likely will not like the sweet even harmonics that this Amp produces . I am a seasoned Player of 30 Plus Years experience and have owned Marshall Amps ( plexi, Silver series,800 etc.)Fender Amps (Vibroverb Non Repro,Bandmaster,Bassman,Twin)and a host of other classic amps. This Amp can be dialed in nicely as is, Cleaned and brightened with a simple tube change. Also there are all ready a host of Mods that work great all ready being posted on the Web. I give this Amp a 10 because the Price and sound possiblities Make it Deal of the Decade material.Add a tube screamer or Your favorite distortion pedal and spend some time in Heaven.

Ease of Use:
Easy volume Knob Guitar controll.

Support:
Quick schematic, Nice reps.

Overall:
I would Replace this Amp in a heart beat if stolen. As a matter of fact I bought Two just in case. And they sound great in a stereo setup.

"Made in Vietnam and their still pissed"
Feature:
Standard features found aon almost all tube amps..nothing special

Quality:
Poor...made in Vietnam and judgeing by this amo they are still holding a grudge

Value:
Not avery good value foe the money, If you want a nice tube amp get a blues junior by Fender...Less money and a LOT more amp

Desirability:
Not a ver good amp for blues or jazz...distortion is shrill..you can do much better if you're looking for a clean warm or bluesy tone with the less expensive Chanp XD or the blues junior both by Fender

Sound:
a little on the shrill side, doesn't have your typical tube warmth...hard to geta good clean sound out of it

Ease of Use:
Plug n play...hust make sure your guitar is hooked up before you turn it on

Support:
Good luck getting thru to Crate

Overall:
I didn't care for this amp..played it for about an hour my driend had ordered it an dhe ended up sending it back
