That 6v6 stealth is a firebreatherHere's a 'secret' poverty rig for ya...
Years ago, before I was here on RT but had started buying/flipping gear (prob 2010 or so) I bought a Crate Stealth for 150...the 50 watt with 6V6s, as a backup. Killer amp, designed by Lee Jackson and according to some, his best work next to modded Marshalls. I ended up grabbing 5 super cheap, and started to sell them for 3-400 on Craigslist. Well, Jeff Blando (Vince Neil, Saigon Kick) contacted me and wanted to grab it off eBay. He was playing the Northwoods Rock Rally with Vince and needed a backup. Gave me tix, super cool guy. He ran a Marshall stack...but I knew the sound guy, and he said "No, his Marshalls are on, but on standby....he's got some Crate amp behind them running through a crate 412....I think he said the half stack is worth maybe 400 bucks!"
Turns out the Marshalls were hollow props with working lights....Jeff was endorsed by Crate years ago so he has storage units in Vegas where he lives, stacked full of all the Stealths you could imagine and keeps buying them up when he sees them. Lol
They roll their own Marlboros .... sweet !
I traded a 1/2 oz for my first guitar ...... lol ..... a mid 80's made in Japan Squier Strat ..... I still have the body .just like i did at that age, and why i couldnt afford any good gear
