Actually there are two speaker jacks on the back. So you could use your amp as your monitor and place the cabinet in the best place for the mix.

It has an extension speaker jack (meaning when you hook up an 8 ohm cab your internal amp speaker still works). I do not have the electronics expertise to evaluate the design of the V50 but from what I have read it is supposed to be well thought out and designed with quality pcb boards, solder joints, tubes, speaker, positioning of the effects loop in the circuit, etc.

They use void free plywood and the new style switching transformers and are lighter than equivalent sized amps due to the weight of the switching transformer. Can you imagine how humilliating it is for those big dogs from the Big Three to bow down before those representatives on that committee? Some of those representatives want them to fail because they have Toyota, Hundai, Honda, Saturn, etc., in their states.Īnyway, the V50 looks like a strong design both electronically, and structurally. You have to do what you have to do to survive even if it comes down to begging. Look at the Big Three auto maker problem. The Chromies are probably selling big time this Christmas. Only one model, a big one is designed so far, supposedly. The new amp is supposed to address those problems, the Black Diamond, and it might not be built and it will be expensive. But there are well documented design imperfections that go back to the original designs. I think I read that Vox sells more 'Chromies' than any other amp and makes the vast majority of their profit off of them. Staying in business is the main priority in a competitive business environment like the electronics and lighting worlds. Make them look desirable, but the design is lacking, they cost way less to make, etc. Mass produce low quality amps for instance, make them appealing with all sorts of computerized models, effects, etc., and sell them cheap. You know, because you design cheap price leader items, that you have to market, to stay in a very competitive business. You can see instantly if something is a price leader cheaply designed and built type of thing, or a well designed, safe, sturdy, heavy duty, quality item. I used to be an industrial designer in the lighting industry, and I can in some small way intuitively deduce the quality of the design of many exposed electrical rigs within seconds. Mine appears to be built to last, well designed. When these blowouts are gone they are gone forever and I bet the used ones will be more than 160 and no five year warranty. No affilliation with any company but M123 had it in stock and I imagine they are flying out the doors.

I just got a brand new V50 for Christmas, early, for 160 including the 16 per cent discount from M123, shipped to the door.

There is a V18 thread on another forum but this forum is unique and has great communication going on.

We could even include all V series Crate amps and have a central thread to go to with our questions, mods, ideas, opinions, etc. Now might be the time to start a new thread for all Crate V50 posts.
