Okay, how about Carvin?

[shreddermon]

Can't speak to the MTS', but I have a Bel Air (50W combo) and love it. Good power for my needs, nice vintage tone, but a little noisy with max. distortion. Nothing worse than most tube amps, and that a hlfway decent noise gate couldn't solve.

That said, everyone who owns a Marshall, Mesa, etc. will probably tell you that they suck. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Nah, this is the forum where everyone says Rectos suck, remember? [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Seriously, I've heard two MTS heads, and I thought they sounded pretty good - although I think the 5150's distortion sound is a little better. I think they've had a problem with the MTS amps catching fire, though - or was that the Legacy?

From what iv heard of , i have heard of one legacy that caught fire. The MTS is pretty good , and has a great price , i say go for it.

Yeah, I was just looking at Carvin's site at their MTS 100W amp head. It's a 2 channel all tube amp. Anyone have any opinions on these?

Also, they sell pedals -- overdrive, delay, etc. How 'bout Carvin's pedals? Any good?

I was thinking of picking up one of the MTS heads with a Carvin 412 cab, which they sell as a package for less than $1000. Seems kind of low, but everything else I've heard about Carvin is good. And I was going to add an overdrive pedal and perhaps a delay just to give me some more options to the 2 channel amp.
