Crate VFX5212T Crate VFX5212T Description: These combo amplifiers combine incredible vintage tube sound with 15 outstanding digital effects - giving you a powerful tube amplifier that's easy to operate yet still produces incredible sounds! Like all St. Louis Music amplifiers, your VFX is designed by musicians, and built using the finest components available. Extensive testing confirms that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be. In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly urge you to read the information contained in this manual before you begin playing. Take a gander at your local music emporium, and you'll probably notice the place is lousy with EL34 based amps. Why would we enter this already swollen market, you may ask? Because we do tube amps like nobody's business, that's why! Check out our VFX5212T for a dose of Thames-meets-Silicon Valley amp mash-up. It's a dual channel Class A/B amp delivering 50 watts from a pair of EL34 tubes, powering two premium 12" Tubby Tone™ speakers. The VFX5212T features 15 digital effects designed to replicate the best reverbs, delays, and vibrato effects to come from the mind of man. And if that ain't enough to make you trip over your own tongue in delight, they're individually assignable to each channel, so when you switch channels, you instantly switch up to four effects-that's two per channel if you are running out of fingers-with the included two-button footswitch.
