If you are looking for an innovative, versatile amplifier that is well constructed, the Carvin V3 is for you. The V3 is a three channel amplifier that can be played at either a 50 or 100-watt output. Its all-tube signal gives you a pure tone that ranges from a nice, warm clean to an incredible crunch and scorching leads, allowing you to play nearly any genre of music with one amp.

Carvin’s Legacy Series guitar amplifier, the VL100, has been named appropriately, considering the guitarist’s help that they had in making this 100-Watt amp. World re-known guitarist Steve Vai helped Carvin create an amplifier with incredible sound. The VL100 is a two-channel amp head that is powered from four EL34 power tubes and five 12AX7 preamp tubes. The all-tube amp has a bias switch, however, so you can also run the amp on 5881s or 6L6GCs. The combination of EL34s and 12AX7s give you a wide range in tone, including buttery cleans to raunchy gains.

The Carvin MTS 3200 head was created to be among the best in the industry. In order to attempt this feat, they built an all tube amp with no IC’s or transistors. Five 12AX7 pre-amp tubes and four 5881 (6L6GC) power tubes come standard on the MTS 3200, but an external Bias Switch on the back of the amp allows you to use four EL34 power tubes if that would suit your sound better. The amp has an ultra-high input impedance and precise component layout and lead placement to prevent high frequency loss. At full power the amp runs at 100 watts, but a switch on the back of the amp allows you to run only two tubes for 50 watts of power. This change will only reduce volume by 3 decibels.
