Dating A Crate Vintage Club Amplifier You date Crate amps the same way you date Ampeg amps (SLM period only) which were owned by St. Louis Music and manufactured in St. Louis from 1985 to 2005. They are essentially the same amps.

1985-2005 - These are the amps during the St. Louis Music (Crate Amps) period. A new serialization system was developed and it became a code used for many years. This is the best way to identify the date of manufacture during this period. A 10 digit number is used as a serial number, which contains lots of information. The number is set up like this: LLLCYMNNNN. LLL stands for the model, C stands for the country.

(U is U.K., Y is Europe, W is Worldwide, and D stands for domestic or U.S.). The Y is a year code that is a letter, starting with A as 1988, (see chart below). What happened before 1987 for the year is unclear as very few amps were made because of bankruptcy for MTI.

The M is a number code for January-October. (Jan is 1, Feb is 2, Oct is 10, fill in the blanks.) For November and December the letters A and B were used respectively. Acer invilink 802.11b/g/draft-n wifi certified phone.

Zackattack, Welcome to the forum! Try this as a test: Turn all guitar knobs to '10', all amp knobs to '1', just to test for sound, first. Amp power on, volume levels adjusted, it should work. If not, guitar pickups could be a cause, a defective cable (guitar to amp) could be a cause, or the amp itself could be a cause. To narrow it down further, try connecting the cable from a home stereo headphone jack, to the amp, to see if you can get music from the amp. If you can, you've eliminated the amp and the cable, and your guitar would be the next thing to test! Let us know what you find out, if you need more help to figure it out.
