For Sale Carvin V3MC All Tube 3 Channel Combo Amp. I purchased new in 2013ish and have played it some over the years but not daily. I am an guy with many many s that I have used over the years. It has been gigged a few times while I have owned it, the sounds great, channels, reverb, boost works fine using the original foot switch which is included. A few years ago I installed a new Celestion Creamback 12 speaker and it really smoothed out the tones so that was a great upgrade from the stock speaker. Tubes have been changed in and out over the years to taste so these are the only changes I have made to the . I mainly used the clean channel 3 on this but the gain channels 1 and 2 are awesome when dialed in to your preference. Very compact for a 50 watt measuring 16 x 18 x 9 36lbs. Original, very informative owners manual included. Manufacturers DescriptionTECHNICAL DESIGN OF THE V3MThe V3M design criteria was to build a high peformance 3-channel tube guitar lifier in a compact, yet powerful package. The V3M has the ability to produce ultra-high gain and bass heavy sounds with the flexibility to cover all playing styles. The V3M utilizes new ideas built upon proven tube lifier technology with an extensive set of features.FLEXIBLE GAIN STRUCTURESEach channel of the V3M offers three different gain modes that change the way the reacts to your playing. Different pre frequencies are enhanced, giving each setting a different character. Unlike other 3-channel s, the V3M allows you to set-up both overdrive channels alike, then change settings to achieve mild or drastic differences between the two channels.TONE CONTROLS and EQXThe passive BASS, MID, TREBLE tone controls offer a wide range of tone settings. The greater range of these controls comes from the use of high impedance 1 meg sealed controls. The EQX switch on each channel takes it one step further, offering a second range of tones to control by shifting the frequencies affected by the tone controls. The PRESENCE control is designed to adjust the edge on your sound. Its range allows for super-smooth warm sounds at lower settings or turn it up to cut through.BUILT IN REVERBThe V3M reverb is custom designed for a lush, natural sound. The long tail switching system turns off only the send to let the reverb to decay without being cut off.GIVE YOURSELF A BOOSTA switchable volume boost is available by footswitch. Set the amount of boost with the BOOST LEVEL control. When turned on, it will boost your s output up to 6dB for solos or any time you need to stand out in the mix.EL84 POWER TUBESYour is equipped with EL84 power tubes because of their unique and responsive tone. The characteristics of these power tubes respond to the wide dynamic range of guitar playing. These tubes react to the touch. If you play soft the tubes remain clean and if you increase your attack they respond accordingly.HIGH IMPEDANCE GUITAR INPUTCarvin has long known about the effects of mis-loading a guitar pickup, which can cause high frequency loss. The V3M guards against this loss with its ultra high input imped- ance. We also considered the capacitance of the average shielded guitar cable which can reduce the high frequency response of your guitar pickups. Unlike other lifiers, we purposely avoided adding capacitance in the pre to control high frequency oscil- lations. Instead, we controlled oscillations through careful component layout and lead placement allowing its shimmering highs to be reproduced.$625 Cash No Trades
