All-tube Combo: Two EL34 (like Marshall) and December 3 AX7 home GROOVE TUBES. A 12-inch HP with a big bowl that cash 100W. It's simple, I play 14 years with the original ones and I see no reason to change them! A friend who has opened for a loose connection to admire the work: United States made in the hand, large components very rustic: it is strong! However the amp does not rev high.
Given to 60 W, 38 W RMS out bench
Two entries with the type of guitar (low / high active / passive)
Effects loop in / out between pramp and power. Switch of standby practice to rest the lamps without dye
Rglage impdance if we add to the speakers (4/8/16 ohms)
Two channels with optional "high lead" for his troisime
Tone rglages assets. Possibility to further accentuate the brightness by dragging the volume knob clear.
Footswitch: Channel / rverb / booster (to take a solo during qq dB)

UTILIZATION

I think the strongest is the 100% helpful ct: no gadget, each button brings something. I have four sounds at the base with two buttons: clean normal volume / clean hard / saturated normal / high saturated.
The sounds are divine: even with the amps sduit latest issue of friends, I always came back to Carvin: It always takes the Decision in RP and in concert, when the volume gives the texture: in short, a serious slap. I never play beyond 2. To saturate the channel, you really have to force the station and ears! channel in a saturated rverb hair and that's it. I DEFINITIONS virtual effects that "blur the costs." High in the lead, we start with the feedback CONTRL Satriani without any difficulty. CONTRL notes by the distance to the HP and rolls alone!

SOUNDS

As Describes that good. Fender clean sound more like "acid" and "clean". Trs always brilliant. With a stratovolcano, the registry is easy Knopfler. But then I put a compressor because of the extreme dynamics of this channel. With distortion no added effect. It takes a certain amount to blackmail the channel. I always have great success with the saturation of the Carvin. A grain plutt Mesa modern genre. And the most thunderous, is the total lack of breath APRS 15 years! I think that was just the quality of Groove Tubes ...

OVERALL OPINION

15 years of use APRS (amateur, I do not play as often as a) I am Fidler at X60. This amp is an enigma: a product as successful, such a reasonable price (bought used 3000F) stayed only two or three years in the catalog!?
If you find a used one, go ahead. The rating will continue to rise suddenly sr!
