It's a shame that these Laney products are unavailable in the US. It would be nice to hear where they fit as they do seem to earn a lot of praise.

You just need 1/4" TS to male XLR to get the guitar level hot enough.

I would remove the dead battery, post a picture of it, and measure/post its exact dimensions. There are several EEs who participate in this forum and you will get excellent advice on how to buy a good electrical and physical fit for a replacement. It is likely a sealed lead acid battery. If it is a lithium battery, given the proprietary nature of most lithium batteries and chargers, a replacement may not be available.

It is a standard sealed lead acid battery. Take it in to a battery store for an easy replacement, or look on eBay for a compatible one if you want to save money.
Be aware that the Carvin 600b has to be turned on when it is plugged in in order for the battery to charge. Also be aware that a completely dead battery can take several days to recharge. |

Mackie FreePLay As A P.A &Acoustic Guitar AMP
I use this for busking , casuals and small coffee house gigs:
This package ran $550.00 two years ago . My T.C.Helicon Voice Live 3 X looper & Roland GR33 guitar synth plug in as well as my 000 resonator & 000 nylon and electric guitar it is a FRFR unit . Remark low hz for synth sounds - acoustic guitars sound great through this as well as well as the electric . It is a very loud and clean sounding unit IMHO EZ : HR

Amazing little monster P.A. for the $'s . I will get a second one to . The acoustic instruments I play really stand out through this system:
¿ Did You get the [ " Package " ] ? The pole really gives this unit outstanding projection . The angel support is also useful when not on the pole too . EZ : HR

The most consistent negative comment made on this unit I know of is the fact that many who have not a piezo with enough output in it tends to not sound good and very weak . A matching X-former and it's solved for about $20.00 I've not had any issues since I use a MFX unit for my acoustics . EZ : HR

Happy Carvin S600B owner here! Last season I was using the Roland BA330 which had a great sound (much better than the cube units IMO) but sometimes didn't pump out enough volume before sounding a bit 'crunchy'. Also it was sometimes a pain to drag onto buses and trains due to its size. I managed to snag one of the last s600b p.a. systems as Carvin was cleaning out their remaining inventory and had it shipped all the way up here to Quebec.
The sound is more mid-rangy than the ba-330 but not in a bad way, if anything it helps cut through in when the surroundings are loud. The bass is nice and fat due to the 8" woofer. It does get louder than the ba330 although i'd be lying if i said I haven't pushed it to its limits when dealing with excess street noise. The built in mixer is really incredible (phantom power!), the only issue I have found is that the reverb can sometimes add a bit of a weird nasal sounding frequency, so I use it sparingly. I love the size of this thing, I no longer feel like I'm taking up too much room on the bus. Also, I have modified my unit so that the battery is carried separately and plugged in externally through a cigarette light port I installed on the back of the unit. There is also a voltmeter to let me know how much juice I have left. This has couple advantages. The amp is now about 6-7 pounds lighter AND I can bring along another SLA battery on days when I play longer sets. Great little speaker!
