New Carvin AG300 Coming
 

Howdy,

After reading posts on this forum about the subject guitar amp, I decided to buy one. I don't know that I will ever use it (play at coffee houses, etc.). But thought I should have something readily available in case I do. I am hoping I made a good decision. I wanted a Schertler or Bose, but don't know that the extra money would have been prudent.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

TW

I think you'll be very pleased, Prof - IMO Carvin offers unbeatable bang for the buck; BTW, the MB12 bass version is my go-to low-end rig - and I've been thinking of getting an AG300 myself (in matching black, of course) "just in case," as you did...

Post a review when it arrives...

Really excited to hear about your new amp day. I was just about to buy one had I not won a schertler jam 150 on ebay. That one is coming in soon too.

Hey,

Congrats on your Jam 150. I "eyed" that one as well. I hope it meets (or exceeds) your expectations!

Cool! We will need details after you get it.
FWIW, I have been using Carvin PA gear for years, and it does a real good job for me. Lots of luck with yours.

In Switzerland, Carvin AG series amps cost as much as Schertler. :rolleyes:

What cabinet color did you end up going with?

Not too many acoustic amps interest me - I've always opted for a full PA, but the AG300 has all the features I'd want (phantom on two channels and a 3 way cabinet) I think I'll wait until I can pick up a used one and give it a try.

Interested to see what you think of it.

Enjoy, I think your gonna be happy with it... Looks like a good amp, I have Carvin gear and love it..
AG100D and XP800L power mixer.
They are like old friends, have never let me down !

I think you'll love your new amp. I have the Carvin AG 200, and it's great.
Congratulations

Nice buy! I would like to try one some day.... maybe when I am a wee older

Looks like a very versatile little box. I don't have any Carvin electronics, but I love my Carvin bass.

Choice of cabinet color is key. I would be kind of tempted by the snakeskin, which should also be perfect for Kramster, since he lives way out in the desert somewhere.

The bubblegum pink would be a good option if you want to be sure that nobody's going to steal it.

I'm partial to the tweed cover myself

It's some kind of brown. I bought this off eBay, but it came from Carvin. I think this color is OK.

I've only played it for ~ 30 minutes (and only through my guitar), but so far, so good. I like the effects, but haven't messed with the Chorus much. The echo and reverb are definitely usable. I have only played it at low volume so I hate to say any more about it, until I really give it a go-through.
