Bogner UberschalVHT Deliverance

Deizel HerbertMesa 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 under-statement of the year. Jaws were hitting the floor at an alarming rate. Boutique amp owners nearby were blush-ing 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 dol-lar, 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 exceed-ed. 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 LankfordRead the full review at:www.carvinworld.com/v3re-view.php

3 DRIVE MODES:a) “CENTER” - a classic rich, open clean sound with lots of headroom. Turning up the DRIVE adds tube warmth and sag.

b) “BRIGHT” - adds high end to the preamp, inviting high frequencies to chime and sus-tain as the DRIVE is turned up.

c) “SOAK” - boosts all preamp frequencies. As the DRIVE is turned up, a vintage snarl emanates from the amp.

EQX: Toggle between standard EQ and Expanded EQ. This switch opens a wider frequency range for the TREBLE, MID and BASS.

PRESENCE: Boost 11 kHz for glassy, shim-mering highs

Channel 3 Clean 3 DRIVE MODES: a) “CENTER” - a classic rich, open over-drive with lots of headroom. Turning up the DRIVE knob adds sustain and warmth.

b) “THICK” - brings on the chunk with a massive low-end, textured mids and blis-tering highs. Turning up the DRIVE knob adds sustain to the highs, grit to the mids with low-end bark.

c) “INTENSE”- the most gain and sustain with notes that leap out with startling articulation. The low-end is deep and per-cussive. Mids and highs smoothly blend and still cut through. Turning up the Drive stretches the envelope of sustain to the edge.

EQX: Toggle between standard EQ and Expanded EQ. This switch opens a wider frequency range for the TREBLE and BASS.

PRESENCE: Boosting 8 kHz to help cut through

Channel 1 & 2 Overdrive

a) LINE OUT: Plug into a mixer or recording device. b) LINE OUT LEVEL: Varies the out-put at the 1/4” output to prevent overload-ing your mixer. c) CABINET VOICING: Simulates a speaker cabinet response.

LOOP 1: Series configured effects loop. The TAIL switch enables a long “tail effect” allowing the effect to be heard after the loop has been switched off.

LOOP 2: Parallel configured effects loop with return level control and TAIL switch.

MIDI IN & THRU: Use with standard MIDI controller. Easy control of all channels, vol-ume boost and Smart Loops™.

FOOTSWITCH JACK: FS44: Remote switch-ing of 3 channels plus volume boost. FS22: Controls both effects loops (MIDI not required).

OUTPUT 1 & 2: Parallel outputs for connect-ing two speaker cabinets. Impedance selec-tor 4, 8 & 16 ohms.

100W/50W SWITCH: Get increased power tube saturation at lower levels in 50w mode.

BIAS SWITCH: Choose between EL34, 5881 or 6L6GC power tubes, set the BIAS to match the tubes.

Rear Panel

The V3’s 100% tube signal path d e l i v e r s pure tone from warm to shimmering to infinite sustain and crunch for all generations. Three channels of expanded tone cir-cuits and overdrives for everything from Blues to Metal. Total control with MIDI and Smart Loops™. Built like a tank, the V3’s ruggedness keeps you playing night after night. Made in the U.S.A.

MASTER VOLUME: Controls output of all 3 channels. Boost or cut your entire rig with one control.

BOOST: Add up to 9 dB of volume boost via FS44 footswitch and MIDI.

BRIGHT: Boost highs starting at 5kHz for added clarity. Simulate closed or open back cabinets.

MID CUT: A unique mid cut helps dial in a master scooped tone from mild to extreme.

DEEP: Adds low frequencies at the sub-har-monic level

SMART LOOPS: Total control of your effects, remembers your effects loop set-tings for each channel. Just assign a loop(s) to the currrent channel, Smart Loop™ per-manently saves it until you change it.

“The Legacy II is a dream amp. It’s simple, versatile and the sound is creamy and warm. 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”

“When Steve Vai personally asked me to redesign his signatureseries 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 foot-switch with LED indicators (Channel, Effects, Reverb, Boost).

B2000 BASS HEAD

Neodymium magnets are so strong that each lightweight BRX neo driver provides the same mag-netic field as huge conventional ceramic magnet, so it’s no wonder Neo’s are the favorite among bass players. More important is their full range, deep tone that comes from in a computer tuned premium 13-ply Russian Birch Hardwood enclosure. Both the BRX10.2 and

BRX10.4, are tuned down to 28 and 26 Hz respectively, reaching below the low B string frequency. The new, high powered 1” titanium horn driver delivers another 2.5dB output that makes your highs defined. Experience the new stan-dard for bass guitar.

“ My first outing with the AG100D was at a typical club with my four-piece rock band. I plugged my 12-string acoustic into channel 1 and I had an excellent guitar sound...My next challenge was to try out a bass guitar...with the help of the five-band graphic EQ, we found a very good bass sound... I offered to play at a small local bar...I showed up with my 12-string in one hand and the AG100D in the other...I had a great vocal and guitar sound happening...All in all the AG100D fulfills all of Carvin’s claims excellently and is very competitively priced”.
