Crate V5 Review

When I was a kid learning to play guitar, one of the dreams I had often was of the day I would have a full stack behind me.  A head and a couple of 4x12 cabinets were the be all end all for every guitar player I knew.  The site of the metal stage shows of the day with multiple rows of full stacks behind the band only fueled the fire.

Today I have gone completely the other way.  I picked up a little 5 watt Crate V5.  This little all tube, Class A amp is about as far away from a full stack as you can get.  Still, it has a lot of heart and some nice surprises.

Check out the video of this little bundle of tube joy.
