CUSTOMER REVIEW A Carvin V3 owner took his amp into a boutique amp store and put the V3 head to head with the following amps: Bogner Uberschal VHT Deliverance Deizel Herbert Mesa Road King Bogner Ecstasy 101B “Every single person who walked in the amp room was absolutely amazed by what they were hearing. No one believed that the V3 could sound that good. To say we were all shocked is the understatement of the year. Jaws were hitting the floor at an alarming rate. Boutique amp owners nearby were blushing with envy and the Carvin website was pulled up on their computers behind the counter before I could leave the store. I’ve played every high dollar, high gain, good tone’d boutique dream amp I can think of and not a single one of them can offer anything compelling, either tone wise or feature wise, that Carvin hasn’t either met or exceeded. The sheer power and usability of this amp’s gain is incredible. The low end will shake the walls and the highs are smooth, fluid and glassy. This is truly a boutique toned nu-metal, old metal, hard rock, classic rock, jazz and blues amp all wrapped into a perfect, low priced solution.” -Drew Lankford Read the full review at: www.carvinworld.com/v3review.php

LEGAC Y II “The Legacy II is a dream amp.
• 3 Channels - Clean, Clean Boost, Lead It’s simple, versatile and the sound is creamy and warm. • Master Volume Finally there is an amplifier that has a MasterVolume control that can raise or lower the overall sound coming out of the speakers without changing its saturation or tone. Although the sound has retained the integrity of the original Legacy, there is now an added channel that acts as a boost on the clean channel giving it a bit more hair. No need to keep dreaming, it’s here” 3 Channel

“When Steve Vai personally asked me to redesign his signature series Legacy guitar amplifier, I was truly excited about the project. The new Legacy 2 includes tricks and tweaks I’ve developed over 15 years of custom tube audio design work. The result is a powerful blend of high end boutique sound and rock-solid American manufacturing. If you’re looking for singing sustain, organic harmonic complexity, and roadworthy features that work in the real world, there’s simply not a better amplifier than the new Carvin Legacy 2” Benjamin Fargen, fargenamps.com

The X100B series tube amps were a mainstay on many arena stages and MTV videos throughout the 1980’s. Artists such as Frank Zappa, Craig Chaquico with Jefferson Starship, Warrant, Warren Cuccurullo with Missing Persons, and Steve Vai all played X100B amps. Frank Zappa raved about the Clean channel on this amp. Steve Vai recorded a song called “Blue Powder” (available on his CD Passion and Warfare) featuring the X100B. The release of Series IV includes a master volume switchable to boost mode and a 4 button optional footswitch with LED indicators (Channel, Effects, Reverb, Boost).
