Crate Palomino V8

[iceman79]

Just bought a Crate Palomino V8 which came equipped w/Groove Tubes.
Can someone tell me what type and what rating number the tubes are?
Someone forgot to put the type and rating on the hang tag
Since it's class A I assume it has 12AX7's and EL84's. Any info on this amp is appreciated.

not sure about the rating. you should be able to look at the power tubes and it should have a # on there

I purchased a V16 just for fun and it's 15 watts. I believe that your is 8 watts - Sudo Class A (But with 5% TDH)

Thanks for the info. It was a total Guitar Center impulse buy, and so far I really like the way this little amp sounds. I would definetly consider a another Crate if something happened to this one.

Jeremy's right. There should be a rating # on the power tubes (EL84's for sure). They don;t rate the preamp tubes.

In spite of what people think about CRATE, they put out great tube amps. Can't speak for the solid state ones (not a fan of SS).
