Crate Tube "Made-in-USA" Guitar Amp!

I have one remaining "Made-in-USA" Crate amp: the tube-type "Vintage Club" # VC508.  This unique amp has a single 12AX7 pre-amp tube, driving a single EL84 power amp tube, into an 8" Celestion speaker.  No effects; just a pure 5-watts of pre-amp or power-amp overdrive; your choice; it's all in how you dial it up!  It has three knobs: pre-amp gain, active shape tone control, and master volume.  You can add your favorite pedals, as the line-out doubles as an insert jack.  This is a great studio guitar amp, yet a I've sold a majority of them along with Shure "green bullet" mics to harmonica players.  (Note: the new Chinese model, the V5, is only half-tube; it has the EL84, but with a solid-state pre-amp; it was $199, but everybody is blowing them out for $99).  If you want to use this amp on stage, simply run a Shure SM57 in front of the hot English speaker to the PA!
