carlosnelson Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) I purchased a used Crate amp about 2 weeks ago from TGC & had it shipped to a local store. I tested it & worked & sounded great. However, the other day I noticed when I turned the amp volume down to zero on my guitar still played a regular volume. The amp also gets very hot after 30 min. of use. I also noticed the amp volume to be extremely low when none of the Boss pedals were on 7 that's on both channels. Anyone know what this problem is & is it an expensive repair Edited November 3, 2011 by carlosnelson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim37 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 frome what i under stand the v5 v18 v33 and v50 where one of crates first tries at a chinese built tube amp and they where so so. the best ones being the v5 and v18 both single channel the v5 from what i under stands does ok with a speaker upgrade (they all need speaker upgrades). the v18 had a horrible reverb and was way too bassy (i had one it was ok for a 150 dollar amp). the v33 and v50 where just a mess frome what i read any way (i did a lot of research befor buying the v18) the first problem i dont have a clue the volume should work if not maybe check the pot and make sure its good. as far as getting hot its a tube amp they get hot. now if its getting hot enough your scared it will catch fire you may want to take it back to gc the boss pedal problem i would guess your pedal is the cause.
