Customer Review
Posted on Carvin.com/bbs
A Carvin V3 owner took his amp
into a boutique amp store and
put the V3 head to head with the
following amps:
Bogner Uberschal
VHT Deliverance
Deizel Herbert
Mesa Road King
Bogner Ecstasy 101B
“Every single person who walked in
the amp room was absolutely amazed
by what they were hearing. No one
believed that $900 could sound that
good. To say we were all shocked is
the understatement of the year. Jaws
were hitting the floor at an alarming
rate. Boutique amp owners nearby
were blushing with envy and the
Carvin website was pulled up on their
computers behind the counter before
I could leave the store.
I’ve played every high dollar, high
gain, good tone’d boutique dream
amp I can think of and not a single one
of them can offer anything compelling,
either tone wise or feature wise, that
Carvin hasn’t either met or exceeded.
The sheer power and usability of this
amp’s gain is incredible. The low end
will shake the walls and the highs are
smooth, fluid and glassy.
This is truly a boutique toned numetal, old metal, hard rock, classic
rock, jazz and blues amp all wrapped
into a perfect, low priced solution.”
-Drew Lankford

Legacy Amps
When I considered having a signature series amp built, there were several important issues that
needed to be addressed. First, it had to sound superior to any other amp I’d ever come across and it
had to be built to withstand the abuse that a world tour could give it. It also had to be something
affordable for most musicians and not just a few privileged ones! It had to have the appearance of
class and integrity that reflects the sound. I’m thrilled to say The Legacy is all that I dreamed it could be.

The VI­­­NTAGE 16 is the low-wattage, “boutique” recording tube amp so many players are looking for. Everything about this little amp “oozes” tone. The SOAK control
goes from stout clean tones with rich midrange body to a filling upper-midrange
snarl defining its tweed sound. The ALL tube design incorporates V1 12AX7 preamp
and two EL84 output Groove Tubes™. The power amp in its normal “PENTODE”
mode puts out a crisp 16 watts. The “TRIODE” mode produces 5 watts of incredibly
sweet spongy harmonics. ‑Ideal for both mic’d recording and small stage rigs. The
sound possibilities are only limited by your fingers and imagination!

Vintage Guitar Magazine Review By Stephen Patt
“...The Bel Air sounded great at low volumes, with a firm bottom end one expects from
twin 12s, and a tone that was classic and balanced. Channel One sounded natural and clear
even at increasingly high volume levels...when we switched over to the overdrive channel,
a convincing ballsy-crunch became apparent, depending on each increment of the “Soak”
control...Overall, there was a familiar and versatile feel to the Bel Air, and it proves to be a
great all-around amp for club dates, recording, and loud gigs where that smaller amp you have
just won’t cut it...Way to go Carvin!...”
These are some Carvin amps made between 1949-1950.

Review by Jamie Rio
“ My first outing with the AG100D was at a typical club with my
four-piece rock band. I plugged my 12-string acoustic into channel
1 and I had an excellent guitar sound...My next challenge was to
try out a bass guitar...with the help of the five-band graphic EQ, we
found a very good bass sound...
I offered to play at a small local bar...I showed up with my 12-string in
one hand and the AG100D in the other...I had a great vocal and guitar
sound happening...All in all the AG100D fulfills all of Carvin’s claims
excellently and is very competitively priced”.

Craig Anderton “ The reason I find the Carvin SX amps so
attractive is because you can get clean sounds - clean enough
to serve as a recording amp in the studio - as well as some of
the sweetest distortion sounds I’ve ever heard from a solid state
amp - it’s almost like the SX produces an idealized tube sound!

The boutique design of the BX1200 dual mono
block and the BX600 mono block bass heads offer
rich tone generated from discrete Class A preamps and the extensive equalization features.
The BX1200 was recently awarded Bass Player magazine’s
Editor’s award.
“The BX1200 amp and BR410 cab are excellent
examples of Carvin’s philosophy. For around a thousand bucks, you get 1,200 clean watts and a cab that
can handle it. ... Ah, power is indeed intoxicating.”
– Bruce Jacob Bass Guitar, June 2007

Neo
Enclosures
Neodymium magnets are so strong
that each 300w 7 oz BRX neo
driver provides the same magnetic field as a 5 lb conventional
ceramic woofers, so it’s no wonder
Neo’s are the favorite among bass players. More important is their full range,
deep tone that comes from in a computer tuned Baltic Birch plywood enclosure. Both the BRX10.2 and BRX10.4,
are tuned down to 28 and 26 Hz respectively, reaching below the low B string
frequency. High power capacity, high
sensitivity and a 1” titanium horn driver
deliver pure sonic bliss. Experience the
new standard for bass guitar.
