So, anyone try/own either of these? What are your thoughts? I currently have a Spider3 HD150, and kind of want to part ways with it. Either way, I'd be wanting a cab with Celestion V30's as they are some of the 1337 speakers out there.
Carvin guitars amps series#
I've seen After the Burial (who have breakdowns, chug riffs, cleans, leads, etc) using the Master Tube series live (only from pics, never heard it live) and they use 8 strings. My only concern is how well the amps will respond to lower tunings without mudding up and give me a nice, full, crisp chug (I like breakdowns and heavy palm muted riffs, sue me) while being able to maintain a nice, clear, and concise mid/high range in distorted and clean tones. However, I'm really digging the V3 and the Master Tube Series. With my recent order placement to Carvin for a (deep, triple step stained) Antique Brown BlackBurst 727, I've taken notice of their amps.
Will ship same day purchased in a professionally packaged box. Please look at all photos before purchasing, only what is included in the pictures is included in the sale. So, this wait is making me debate whether I should in fact get the Bugera. This item was pulled from a working environment. I took my deposit back (it was a large one, at least for my income) and told him to just let me know when they arrive. DIfferent axis than quality - boutique is more about exclusivity and craftsmanship.So, Jason won't be getting any Bugera 6262's in for another 2-3 weeks. You can expect a boutique amp to be noisier, more temperamental, a LOT more expensive, and much easier to work on than a PCB amp when something burns out. Watch this listing to get price drop alerts. They DO NOT perform better or worse than PCB amps, but do tend to be a lot simpler electrically (can you imagine what a PTP-wired Mesa Mark V would look like? Yikes). Carvin V3M 3-Channel 50-Watt Micro Tube Guitar Amp Head 2010s Silver. Boutique is a totally different thing than a high-quality, reliable, and great-sounding amp they're typically turret-mount or point-to-point wired circuitry that people pay a premium for because they're hand-made. the first half has the SOAK knob ( drive) and the 2nd half has the total volume control where the diodes are directly on the input. Yes AJM there is a diode clipping circuit smack dab in the middle of the dual purpose 12AX7 drive circuit, ( V2). The clean channel's headroom is just epic.īoutique quality: Carvin amps are very well made for their price-point but they are not boutique. Not all Carvin guitar amps use diode clipping, but these do. To my ear they fall somewhere between the dark British E元4/84 sound and scooped Fender sound. Performance: Carvin amps have their own voice, so can't really be compared apples:apples to other tube amps. These methods can be use for the V3, the MTS and Legacy amps and the older Valve Master amps. The video shows both the Carvin method of measuring across the standby switch and using a bias probe. "It'll be a huge pain in the balls when it's time to replace the caps on this thing in 20 years." There is now a 'How to' bias video up for all you Carvin players. They use high quality components in their builds and their board jumpering and alterations are very clean: "You won't find quality stuff like Mercury Magnetics transformers in Marshalls or other amps at this price point." (The LEgacy 2 has some VERY high quality iron).
Carvin circuits are well designed and their boards are very intelligently laid out. I took my Legacy 2 to a custom amp builder recently to trouble-shoot and replace a burnt out resistor and cap in the clean circuit and here's the gist of what he said after taking things apart: Legacy Steve Vai Signature 2-Channel 100-Watt 4x12' Guitar Amp Half Stack. Price: Carvin amps are very well priced for what you get. V3M 3-Channel 50-Watt Micro Tube Guitar Amp Head. This is a complex one and I'll try to break it down: Omsong wrote:So what do you think of the Carvin Vintage Amps and how they compare price and performance wise with the other tube amps that are out there? Are they a boutique quality amp at an assembly line price? Are there any other American made amps less than 1 grand available (not used)? (I know Peavey's used to be American made, but I think a lot of their amps are now made in Asia.)
