MGR/Dean Parker « Crate Blue VooDoo 120 »
Published on 07/27/04 at 15:00Purchased at a Pawn Shop for $550.00
I acquired this amp after hearing a Phoenix Arizona based deathmetal band called Vehemence with both guitarists using Voodoo stacks.
This amplifier does it all for me. Both channels offer a wide range of sound that blows just about every other amplifier away. The stage presence is just unreal. Honestly, you don't need effects with this amp. It is easy to tune in a killer crunch sound that blows away Marshalls. When I first saw this amp I immediately went home and grabbed my Schecter XXX and returned to the pawnshop it was at. I went directly in to the amp without any effects and I immediately fell in love with it.
I currently use a Digitech RP7 and a Metal Zone pedal and I get some intense sound out of this setup. The power of this amplifier is unreal. Nothing can drown this 120 watt tube amp.
This is a used unit and it suffers a broken effects switch on the front face plate.
It doesn't effect me at all and would be a quick fix, if neccessary.
I'm not much of a tube fan either but this amplifier justifies the hassle.
Honestly, I can't find anything about this amp to really complain about. It rocks!
Other than the broken effects switch, the amplifier is built like a tank. This thing weighs a ton!
It's taken me 20 years to find a guitar amplifier that I'm totally satisfied with.
Great job Crate!
