Crate 50 watt EL 84 GT 500 H

Scored this for mere peanuts today and really has a great clean channel very vintage EL 84 tone.4 12AX 7's 4 EL84's.
The drive channel is not bad but not overly awesome but some nice drive not fizzy at all.
Takes pedals really well so will probably use the clean channel more if I don't flip it.
Needs some work on the drive channel pots really dirty and making noise but no big deal and easy fix.
Had a nasty grill covering so I stuck the snake skin fabric on until I can find some in a gray color maybe.

Heh.

Probably will Cyg.
Pots all cleaned out lets see how she runs now.

BTW the Cyg Orpheus 30 got some rave reviews today kicked ass all day with it.

Good to know.
Bring a camcorder next time!

And start collecting signatures on that thing.

All that heard the Cyg 30 watt amp that day were commenting how much they liked the amp.
One said this little thing growls like big foot getting raped.
Not sure exactly what he meant by that tho'.
It spent about 3 hrs solid being cranked, never a whimper it performed flawlessly.

The Crate will be out the door tomorrow in an ammo trade.
