V5 Tube Guitar Amplifier

Introduction
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a Crate V5 tube guitar amplifier. This combo
amplifier packs a whole lot of vintage tube sound into its compact cabinet, providing you with
an amp that is portable and easy to operate, yet still produces 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 V5 is a single-channel amplifier with a mas-
ter volume control and a tone control. It cranks out 5 watts from a single EL84 output tube in
a Class A single-ended configuration into one 10” internal speaker. It provides a wide range of
clean to overdriven sounds, making it ideal for recording as well as a practice amp.
Like all Crate products, your V5 amplifier is designed by musicians and built using only the
best components. Each amplifier is tested to confirm that it meets our specifications, and we
believe that this amplifier is the absolute best that it can be.
In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, please read this manual before you begin
playing.
And thank you for choosing Crate.
Here are some of the features packed into your new V5 Combo Amplifier:
• EL84 power vacuum tube for smooth overdrive sound
• 5 watts rms power output
• 1 x 10" ceramic magnet speaker
• Volume control
• Tone control
