I really hate to sell this amp, but I need to generate some funds. This is a converted Carvin XV-212. Check harmonycentral.com to see the rave reviews of this Mesa Boogie clone.
I built the cabinet out of birch and added an Eminence 15 inch 8 ohm speaker. I then installed new JJ/Tesla 12AX7's & EL34's. The tubes and speaker have less than 10 hours playing time on them. This is an amazing amp for both steel & 6 string. It has rythm & lead channels, 3 band EQ, 5 band switchable EQ, incredible sounding reverb from an Accutronics long 3 spring tank, effects loop, XLR out, and enough volume to make your ears bleed! Both EQ's are active so that 5 is actually flat.
$450 with the speaker or $350 without the speaker shipping included lower 48. I have much more invested in this amp. This amp puts to shame the two twins I have had.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi David,
It is a great amp indeed! It weighs in around 65 lbs. Less than the Twins I used to have including the Custom 15.
Thanks,
Dave

Hey Dave.
You always did great wood work. This will make a nice amp for someone wanting the tube sound.
A plug for a good amp and a great guy to do business with.
