Anyone ever play or have the Crate Blue Voodoo 60 Combo. I played the 120 watt head which was cool, but never the combo.
 
Re: Crate BV 60 combo

They're ideal for rock/metal amps within a reasonable budget. I think I'd be more inclined to choose that amp in a head/cab setup, just because it's designed as a highgain amp, and the bottom will be tighter. It gets a little loose in an open back combo......although the cleans will open up and sound less focused.
 
Re: Crate BV 60 combo

I agree that I like the sound of closed back vs. open back for my style of playing. But I'm curious if it's a good idea to close up an open backed combo. Or will it hurt the amp (overheating issue's and such)?
 
Re: Crate BV 60 combo

I just played through my Buds last night and was suprized how good it sounded! I had a Crate way back when and it was an SS amp. He has the BV 60 combo. It's a blue/purple covering. I really enjoyed playing through it. I was runing my PUE5 tube in the front. I was suprized at the "throatiness" of it. I'm used to playing el84 amps so the big bottles always sound huge to me.
