« Carvin PB200-15 Series 2 »
Published on 08/09/04 at 15:00Bought from the Cartvin online store for $400. Bought it mainly on Carvin's reputation.
Solid appearance, lots of features, enough power for the places we work.
After a year and a half of packing it around it developed a problem with the input PCB ( circuit board )that caused volume levels to drop by 2/3rds at first and then to go away. Found that hanging a set of keys on the input line at the input end got around that for the rest of that show.
Called Carvin for a replacement input PCB and found that they won't sell the PCB but will sell you the individual components of the PCB. You may also ship them the amp (cost approx. $100.00 round trip) and pay them $50.00 to repair it. They did send me the schematic to help.
Was pleased with this until the input problem
Buy something you have a chance to repair easily. Carvin doesn't appear to it.
