The greater range of these controls comes from the high impedance 1 meg sealed pots (most guitar amps use 250k pots). These controls will not affect or color your sound when set at extreme settings, nor do they interact with each other. Instead, the treble and bass may need to be at 10 while the mid control at 0 (or) the treble at 1 and the bass at 10 depending dual or single coil pickups. Your sound may not be at center (5 on the dial).

Take full advantage by setting them where they sound best. The T-Bridge passive BASS, MID and TREBLE tone controls offer a wide range of tone settings. This control boosts only the guitars very highest harmonics which are in the 10k Hz range instead of the normal 3K Hz of a bright switch. You will also take notice of the clean channels rear PRESENCE control which adds acoustic voicing to your instrument. Special mud-cutting circuits eliminate the unwanted sounds in the 500 to 700 Hz range which normally take away the tone definition of your instrument. The equalization of the clean and soak channel is designed to offer clarity to your instrument. Instead, we controlled oscillations through careful component layout and lead placement allowing its shimmering highs to be reproduced.
Unlike other amplifiers, we purposely avoided adding capacitance anywhere in the preamp to control high frequency oscillations. Also, we considered the capacitance of the average shielded guitar cable which can reduce the high frequency response of your guitar pickups.
#JOE WALSH CARVIN GUITARS SERIES#
The VINTAGE TUBE SERIES guards against this loss with its ultra high input impedance. Just like early VOX AC30 amps, EL84’s are used for their ideal transconductance delivering a tight bottom and soft drive with superior definition.Ĭarvin has long known about the effects of miss-loading a guitar pickup which can cause high frequency loss. Premium EL84 power tubes are selected for their excellent saturation and power soak characteristics. This meant that the VINTAGE TUBE SERIES was going to be totally new from the ground up and that it was going to be an all tube design. The design criteria was to build an all-tube guitar amp that sounded better than anything else on the market. The VINTAGE TUBE SERIES is 100% tube design-no IC’s, FET’s or transistors. TECHNICAL DESIGN OF THE VINTAGE TUBE SERIES Spend time with your new amp and get to know it’s many sounds.
You will discover that these amplifiers represent a significant sound improvement over conventional tube amplifiers. They have been used by top professionals like Joe Walsh, Chet Atkins, Jeff Beck, James Burton, Jorma Kaukonen, and many other great musicians. Carvin has been building tube guitar amplifiers since 1949. Congratulations on your purchase of the VINTAGE TUBE SERIES all tube amplifier.
