I bought a 5150 Combo so I'm letting this guy go. Crate Vintage Club 2x12 50w combo with four EL84s and four 12AX7s. I know Crate has a bad name for their solid state garbage but this is one of their jems. Two channel with foot switch. Speakers have been swapped out for Peavey Blue Marvels. Sovtek tubes, effects loop, independent channel controls for EQ and Reverb (real spring unit).

Im not a guitar player, but those Sovie EL34s are great tubes. Very thick and rich tone.
 
Oops..misread that :lol: EL84s are very nice too...Ive never heard a bad sounding EL84 amp. They sound even better run single-ended instead of push-pull, but the power output would be about 1/4 single-ended compared to what it is push-pull.

I'd rather have Class A but "Loud" and "Class A" don't generally go together. I had a single 12AX7 and single EL84 Class A amp and it sounded incredible but it was very much a one trick amp.
