Crate VC30 Thru VC50 SRV Option

Product Details

It's no secret that Stevie played his amps cranked and preferred a little cleaner sound from the front end allowing you to hear more power tube breakup. This kit uses a JJ 5751 for V1 which is in-between an ECC81 and an ECC83S in gain, two standard ECC83S's for V2 and V3, a balanced ECC83S for the phase inverter in V4 and a matched quad in a warmer grade of JJ EL84's for the power section.

The Balanced ECC83S is located in V4 farthest from the input jack and the 5751 is located in V1.

If your amp is a Combo amp you may want to consider using the EuroDamper tube damper rings for the four EL84’s. Combo are very hard on tubes because of vibrations which can cause tube rattle with any brand of tube. These are available in the "Related Products” tab as a set of four and will greatly decrease tube rattle. ** Note; the wire tube retainers will not fit all the way over the damper rings.

These amps are fixed biased, there is no bias adjustment to be made. The amount of clean headroom you’ll get from the power section is somewhat dictated by the grade of power tube used. A cooler grade of EL84’s will give you more clean headroom, whereas a warmer grade will give you earlier breakup. If you order online, leave us a note in the comments section letting us know your headroom preference (max headroom, middle of the road or early breakup).
