MGR/Texas 12 stringer « Carvin AG100 »
Published on 11/16/01 at 15:00As you probably know, Carvin is a catalog only music company, so I ordered it from their catalog. I pain $499 for this little baby.
I like almost everything about this amp. It's marketed as a dual acoustic guitar and mini-p.a. amp. Usually, claims that the amp can do more than one thing are exaggeraged. But this time around, they were right on the nose. It's has enough e.q. to make my vintage 12 string guild sould great, and the mike channel is clean, bright, with just enough depth. The effects are fun to play with, but other that some chorus on the guitar, and some delay and reverb on my voice, I havn't' used all the effects toys. At 100 watts, I have enough power for a single or duo. I am also a public school teacher, and I used this amp in a high school auditorium, and was surprised that it filled the room with plenty of sound. I am not a high volume rocker, but I was still surprised at the power this little box had in the auditorium.
The only thing, and I mean the only thing that I don't exactly like are the little knobs on the controls. But basically it's a little thing that is no big deal.
Looks great, has a winter tweed color and has already been through its "virgin" drop off a dolly. Survived with no problems other that a little scratch.
This is simply a great acoustic guitar mini-p.a. combo. For gigs that aren't high watt ear blasters, it's perfect. My friend is going to try plugging a pod into it and miking it to try to get some depth to the somewhat "electronic" sound that modelers get. I think that it will be perfect because it's so clean, it won't color the sound, simply produce it. This is a sweet little box that makes some clean, pure sounds, and looks good in the process.
