Introduction

Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a Crate V33-212 tube guitar amplifier. This
combo amplifier packs a whole lot of vintage tube sound and classic spring reverb into its
compact cabinet, providing you with an amp that is portable and easy to operate, yet still pro-
duces incredible sounds!
The V-Series amps offer the versatility required for many different musical styles, and have
the unique tonal purity of a hot-rodded tube amp. The V33-212 is a two-channel amplifier with
channel-switching between clean and overdrive sounds, gain and master volume controls,
treble/mid/bass tone controls, global boost and presence switches, and an internal spring
reverb. It cranks out 33 watts from a set of four EL84 output tubes into two internal 12"
speakers.
