SMALL UP
I board could not resist pushing a little beast ... June 21 at home ..
not diou ske ca Depot!

- What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)?

100 w 50w switchable in all lamps.
4 EL 34 GROOVE GROOVE TUBES 512AX7 TUVBES +
- What is the power delivered?

100 w
- What connection?

Jack input, 2 speaker outputs with impedance selector (4,8,16), 2 effects loop (serial and parallel one with the adjustable from 0 to 10) + selector says "tail" that allows you to continue the effect of the loop if the channel change, it does not.

exit "line out / table selector mix with" voiced "(simulation of HP)

- What are the settings, the effects? ...
3 channels, one clean, saturated 2.
on each channel, there are:
volume, drive, treble, bass, middle, presence, + a switch called "EQX" that boost the frequencies, and this on cahques channels.

Then comes the two channels saturated (a similar definition) is, in addition to another switch called "intense and thick) 3 position (intense, medium and thick) they are boosters of different frequencies, so the sound palette offered is monstrous !
on the clean channel, same, but called "Bright and soak" ... very strong, the Carvin is made from strong high ....

in section "master":
a master volume, a bost (for solos, it's convenient) a bright, mid cut, a deep .. that's good, that the setting has an abundance of frequencies ... we do not finish!
there is also (something I board not used) section LOOP activated depending on the channel triggers ..
eg, the chorus on the clean sound, and moving in saturates, no LOOP activated, it is possible, therefore we choose ... if you leave the industry and active multi effects depending on the channel switches on and chosen ..

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is it simple?

not you have to go a hell of a time to have fun, and test the full range of sound that is so broad that most have seen the end! ^ ^
- Gets it easy to sound good?

same as above, the doc offers "presets" which we can learn to get started with the monster ...

but then you plug you put the potato, the fiddle, and the different sounds flowing!
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

nice, pretty clear, in USD per cons ..

SOUNDS

- Will it fit your style of music?

yes, from metal to hard rock, blues, jazz to acoustic ballads to the GNR, it has everything in the pants!

- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?

ESP Horizon Custom Deluxe, Hamer Diablo

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?

everything is possible, the very very very clean slamming his big-strat style bourrrin, fat, or cold, dry, sharp, everything is ..

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

heeééé none yet!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

hahaha from now! ;) But I would not hesitate to make an "update" after rehearsals and concerts;)

- What is so special that you like most and least?

...
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

yes, and good, but I peed on it, I went to the bluff, I listened to the head on the Carvin site, and I started, after all, you have to like that in the life, and I am neither disappointed nor scam, it's totally monstrous (and I speak knowingly because I am a real animal matter in potato, and we barely fiddle the volume and the 4X12 + old above tremble!) is not the star ac, ca deposits!
and I guarantee that I tried the stuff, the big,, he plays in the course of the great.

ps: the 4x12 I have is an old Carvin also rises I think it does celestion GT12 (a 400w stereo) model T

- How would you rate the quality / price?

Carvin is too bad CONNNU in France, release you have forgotten your priori and your "favorite brands" there's going very very hard with Carvin, I am a subscriber and I would stay!
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

rather than 50 times!
