Crate amplifiers - waddya reckon?

[hoxta]

Hi people.

I am considering purchasing a 50w Crate combo (valve).

Do they have nice tones? I need both clean and dirty sounds for my playing. Will a Crate meet my needs? How much should i pay new or secondhand?

Any feedback would be much appreciated...
