Carvin Vintage 16 Tube Amplifier

With 3 Replacement Tubes

Spring Reverb Unit

 

The Vintage 16 is the low wattage, "boutique" recording tube amp so many players are looking for. Everything about this little amp "oozes" tone. The SOAK control goes from stout clean tones with rich midrange body to a filling upper-midrange snarl defining its tweed sound. The ALL-tube design incorporates two V1 12AX7 preamp tubes, and two EL84 output tubes. The power amp in its normal "PENTODE" mode puts out a crisp 16 watts. The "TRIODE" mode produces 5 watts of incredibly sweet spongy harmonics, ideal for both recording and small stage rigs.  Made to last, with a quality plywood enclosure covered in vintage tweed. The sound possibilities are only limited by your fingers and imagination! Included are the three replacement tubes shown in the last photo.

We were extremely pleased with the quality of sound that this amp produces when we took it for a test drive. The sounds were rich and full and very clean. We also tested it with a few different pedals and continued to be impressed with the overall sound quality. All the controls worked exactly as we expected. The reverb had a much fuller sound than those without a spring-loaded reverb unit. The tweed cover is in very good condition with no issues. There is not an owner's manual included but we had no problem finding one online. We did not test the replacement tubes. Please see all photos.
