All user reviews of 5/5 for the Carvin XV-112

tubes: 3x 12ax7a, 4x EL34.. 100W RMS, 2x 12" british series speakers, 32Kg


UTILIZATION

the tone controls are +/-18db so it's easy to mess up the sound, you must stay where it sounds good..

this the lead drive channel and hi-lead requires high volume to deliver a good sound



SOUNDS

I have a Simon Pinder bodythrough neck with EMG gold active pickups and Kahler mechanics

With a Morley wah in front, a LXP5 in loop and sometimes a H&K speaker emulator on the HP output (with a load capacitor) connected on a LXP1 before in the mixtable I just love it

Now I use it almost always directly plugged on it, when I dont play with my Jamman and MPX G2..

Generally it sounds better (basses) when you set the volume high on the amp and lower the volume on the guitar

Now that I'm older I'm almost only using the clear channel..
The grain, the dynamic are very nice, I love the basses and the warm and slamming sound from the tubes,

I set it like 8(bass) 7(middle) 5(treble) 4(presence) and 1-2 (reverb)... I like using low pass filters



OVERALL OPINION


I would buy it again without hesitation, but it's just a subjective advice

It's a combo 100W lamp with 3 12AX7 preamp in, for my part I spent TungSOL V1, V2 and EH Mesa Selected V3 and 4 EL34 power for my part of OUR EI.

HP or a Carvin British ElectroVoice.

All connectors are two jack inputs, one XLR preamp output, ...

Two channels clean and lead (+ Boost switchable)

Without the footswitch to change channels are pulling on the knobs.

It has a parametric EQ and a switchable graphics on either channel.

UTILIZATION

Config a bit daunting at first as we can make him get everything you want. The clean is just typed mesa high gain and fender back down and lead older Marshall.

Manuel? ...

SOUNDS

It is perfect for what I want to play, he even served as the studio for the blues as hard rock.

OVERALL OPINION

This will make 3 years I use it I had recovered from a wreck I've completely revamped and I ironed while two 100W lamps bases have been transferred by its former owner.

I will always be a deputy Weber Mass to be able to work the lights more efficient.

100% super guitar amp config classic lamps (EL34 + 12AX7A ).... is the 100 W that can rduire 50 or 25 w
2 between guitar front, the rear: pramp output (for recording), effects loop, pdalier change channels .... suplmentaire hp output at rglage we have the clean channel (volume / bright), the channel drive (drive and volume), the qualisation: bass, mid, treble ..... the presence, the rverb, and qualiser 5 bands faade ..... Simple and effective!

UTILIZATION

Grip ultra simple instructions available on the net, the sound is crystal-clear clean of the hard lot of good distortion compression close to some Mesa Boogie!! and yes! he potato ......

SOUNDS

It is ultra versatile! I play on Fender and Gibson! The variety of hard rock you name it ......

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using The beginning of the 90's ..... APRS seeing NONO STEVE VAI and over jou!! Yet I had the Marshall and Fender in the hands and even a gas plant with lots of rack!! Anyway, I always come back to CARVIN with some pedals in the effects loop for a little color ...... trs a versatile amp, it does not dtriore guitar signal .......... it is for me still my companion for the RPTS and scne !!!!!!!

100W all-tube amp
2 input jack
2 channels (clean / crunch)
Reverb - 2 EQ - presence

UTILIZATION

A little hard to capture the influence of a particular knob push / pull, or both EQ, but it is
otherwise it is not very complicated: it sets the amp, and the games there to pedal 3 interuptor: clean / crunch, effect loop on / off, reverb on / off.

SOUNDS

So there is hard-SPRAY:
I have since I played reggae, funk, blues, HxC, and each time I have found the sound was fine. Each tone adjustment is super influential, and therefore every time you move a knob or other we see the sound changed, there is more to revise the adjustment of others.

This amp is a sonic palette wider and that all living pods and other amp emulation "powder in the eyes."

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 7 years

+: The versatility of the machine is passse reggae slamming a big slobbering blues in 2 / 2.
-: Ben it's heavy to carry, or I see it

I tried the peavey 51-50, the hybrid Marchal (AVT), the Fender Deluxe and rectoverb. Each amp's sound, but this one can really be his, and holding his head can be any breed.
