Thinking about a Crate V8 or V16. Any opinions on either and how much louder would the 15 watts would be compared to 8. Do these amps have the same tone, but different volume etc? Looking for something with bedroom or basement type volumes but awesome tone.

Re: Crate V8 or V16 Palomino amp
well the v8 has a 10 inch speaker vs the v16's 12, but class A watts are very loud sounding. I have an older VC20, and it gets just as loud as my 60 watt Marshall." Rock and Roll IS a contact sport!"

Re: Crate V8 or V16 Palomino amp
Yup, saw that about the speakers. Wonder if that's the vintage 10 in the V8. Have you heard these amps? Are they much different in tone and volume?
I've got a few class A amps from the sixties with low wattage, but they are loud. Not plexi loud, but loud.My songs....enjoy! (hopefully )

Re: Crate V8 or V16 Palomino amp
I've seen them, but not played them.
In my VC 20, I replaced all the tubes, el84-JJ, pre amp- GT's and put a Celestion G12H30 in there, and I really like it- warm deep sound with lots of response. The harder you play the nastier it gets, play soft, sounds sweet." Rock and Roll IS a contact sport!"

Re: Crate V8 or V16 Palomino amp
Wow--sounds just like what I like. I'll probably take a trip to GC and see what's up with these amps. I love my Blue Voodoo so the Crate name doesn't scare me. Thanks man.My songs....enjoy! (hopefully )

Re: Crate V8 or V16 Palomino amp
The Crate V58 is a 5 watt class A tube amp with an eight inch speaker. The V16 is a 15 watter with reverb and a 12 inch speaker. The V16 is identical to the V1512 that I own except for the looks and I believe the speaker is different although I am not sure. My V15 sounds awesome, they are great amps, all sorts of sweet tones. Both amps are EL84 poweredOriginally posted by ratherdashingIf inviting 200 drunken strangers to your parents house is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

Re: Crate V8 or V16 Palomino amp
I started the review, but then decided to do it when I was in front of the amp, so I accidentally posted a partial review and then went to delete the partial and deleted the whole thread!! I am an idiot!! That's what happens when you do too many things at once!! The full review will be here tonight.
BTW: where the amps as good as I talked them up to be in your opinion?I get weak in the knees at the sight of a vintage Fender amp!

Re: Crate V8 or V16 Palomino amp
Yeah, I can get anything from totally clean to authentic hendrix sounds to ACDC crunch to all out totally sustaining distortion on my V1512. The distortion isn't as extreme as a Blue Voodoo but in my opinion sounds better and you could easilly use an OD to punch it up for metal. Great vintage tone though and nice speakers, mine came with a Celestion Seventy 80 stock. My favorite tone is with the volume maxed, the gain low and my guitar volume backed off so I get mild overdrive from the power tubes only.Originally posted by ratherdashingIf inviting 200 drunken strangers to your parents house is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

Re: Crate V8 or V16 Palomino amp
There's anothe version of the V1512 which is the V1512T. The only difference is that it has a Tone Tubby speaker and is I think $499. Dude, you're getting me way juiced up over these amps. Bad schecterplayer--bad bad schecterplayer!
That last sentence was from my wife, LOL.My songs....enjoy! (hopefully )

Re: Crate V8 or V16 Palomino amp
If I got that model--which I'm leaning towards because it's the least amount of wattage--I would probably get the V8 which has a 10" Celestion. That's the only difference besides the white tolex and V8 emblem.
Very cool stuff here guys, very cool.My songs....enjoy! (hopefully )
