Man, the deals are GREAT on a CRATE (excuse the pun)!

This a good price for that 33 watt head I tried - http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Crate-V-Series-V33H-33W-Tube-Guitar-Amp-Head?sku=487052
It has a very good clean channel tone.

This is also supposed to a really great amp - Blue Voodoo - http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product?sku=481046X

Any opinions about the 5 watter vs. the 18 for my boy Spud?

Aw, c'mon, Spud! I just bought a G-Dec 30 this morning. Now my wallet is throbbing. And $149.00 for that 18 watt 112 is unheard of!:drool:

If you buy the V5 for $99.00 you can use the "sv10" ($10 off) code and get the amp for $89.00 and free shipping. :AOK:

 

[Spudman]

It's super hard to not dive in to some of these. Must resist.

Go for the 18 watter.

 

[ShortBuSX]

That 5 watter got a terrible review on MF...I was thinking the same thing.
But that 18 watter is gonna be hard to pass up:thwap:

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Whaddya think about the 18 all tube vs. waiting for a Vyper for the boy? The Vyper sounds like it will be a cool swiss army knife, and will include a lot of other stuff he needs to account for the higher price I will pay, but this is a nice deal.

 

[Robert]

I would guess the Vypyr with be better for the boy. More variety of sounds and swiss army features, which is probably what a kid wants!

That is the way I am leaning, and it has a built in looper and tuner, etc., along with all the effects and sounds he can play with. I have a tube amph and don't need another at this point.

Good deal for someone wanting to get into a decent tube amph though! I would jump if I did not already have my C-30 for sure!

Says, "Available: 32 days". MF selling stuff they don't have... again!
Bet that price goes up once they have stock?

 

[just strum]

Money is tight and I have to pay for the acoustic yet. Got some big bills heading my way soon, have to do some work on the car, have to start painting some rooms soon.

Sorry, just typing to myself.

Spud, damn you!!!

I am leary when MF says they are "availible in 32 days" for a blowout item. They had them in stock about two hours ago. I assume they are sold out, and there most likely won't be any more coming in to MF stock. That V18 for $149 was an incredible price! If you used the "SV10" code ($10 off), you could have gotten it for $139.00. That's like giving it away. But they are gone now -- phew.

Ok, I'll ask - If you order at the advertised price and they accept the order, how does the price go up?

I'd also second the opinion to go with the Vypyr. First, 18 watts is pretty loud, and it's pretty much a single channel amp. I think the Vypyr will cover more styles of music from country clean, to blues grind, to all out distorted rock.

I'm really starting to like digital over tube...more versatility, fewer problems, no need to restock tubes, plus they sound good at all volume levels.

Somebody buy one the suspense is killing me.

I'd buy the 18 watt one, it works out at £75 which is less than I paid for the Harley Benton.
But then I'd have to pay postage, import taxes, VAT, replace the OT with one that can handle 240v...

I want to pull the trigger, but this knife to my throat is making it difficult.

 

[just strum]

anyone have a guitar center coupon code they are not going to use? PM me.

Edit: I had everything filled out and the billing work pops up and there's a TAX!!! WTF, I'm not paying tax - stopped before finalizing - no deal.

 

[warren0728]

i think if they have a store in your state you have to pay tax....

Stupid GC.

Don't like tax and don't like shipping cost. Why can't these people get it through their thick heads they are in business to please ME!!!

Well I did pull the trigger,but I hid all the knives first
got it for 139.99 with the 10.00 coupon code...not a bad deal for an amp like that,I just couldn't control myself:thwap: Thanks Spud for fueling the Gas
We will see if I get it after 32 day's

Not to stoke the fire, but I talked to the regional Peavey rep at a local store yesterday and he said the Generation EX series is being discontinued.

I have a triple single, like you. I also have the Generation Vintage EX, the Keith Richards configuration with the bucker in the neck and the tele pup in the bridge. This guitar sounds OUTSTANDING. I would consider getting one before they are gone, or any other EX you have been thinking of.

I would say they will become collectors items due to quality, tone, and vibe.

These amps look good too. I have a V8 Palamino and it is an outstanding little amp. I like the 18 watt 2 by 12.

[Kazz]

What's this "SV10" code?

Coupon code to save $10 bucks Strum.....tell me you really do not purchase things on the net without looking for a coupon code first

 

[Duff]

Anyone grab one of these yet?

These look like nice items. The V50 is a class AB and is supposed to sound like an American amp. Whatever that means.

The two twelve cab looks like a nice eight ohm item as well. I could use that with my HRD as an extension cab and it is a great deal.

I wonder why the V series is being discounted so deeply? The speakers in the cab are not specified. I wonder if they are any good?

[ET335]

Duff I have the V18 1-12 on order and not sure when it will arrive or if it ever will,Knowing how MF is when they discontinue some of their items.
I hope they don't cancel it,but we'll see
I need an amp like this,so I thought I would order it and give it a try,I mean what tha hell... for a 139 bucks it can't be all that bad.
All the reviews that I have read have been pretty positive,so when or if it doe's arrive I will check it out and give a review on it.
Hopefully soon!

 

[TS808]

Why the drastic price drop? Are these amps being discontinued? The 18-watt models are relatively new...they just came out not too long ago, maybe a year or two ago. I've noticed on ebay that some retailers have lowered the price too.
