How to Add Visual Expression Without Extra Work

March 08, 2016

Amps with Visual Expression

Music is all about expression, from the style of music you play to which gear you choose to play it. Even what you wear and how you or your band’s stage setup looks contributes to your overall identity as a musician and performer and helps the audience connect with you. This is important because while live music fans want to be entertained, many also want to feel that the musicians playing the music they are listening to are interesting, funny, or unique in some way. A good live show is not only entertaining and fun, but caters to both sight and sound. People say they are going to go see a band play a show, not that they are going to go listen to a band!

If you're a local act on a strict budget and with only a few minutes to set up at your gigs, it's probably not a good idea to bring along a full lighting rig, costumes, and a pyrotechnics show. You should probably leave that stuff to the touring professionals, but that doesn't mean there aren’t other things you can do to step up your band’s visuals a notch!

Carvin Audio and Amplifiers offers an extensive selection of vinyl covering choices that will help you customize your rig, express yourself, and of course, turn heads! Are you into snakeskin? Great, we’ve got two shades of it. Need something a little more vintage and rustic for your 50’s cover band? Go ahead and add on a Country Western finish. Or maybe you need a bright red to match your drummer’s kit or your bassist’s shoes. Cool, add on a Red Jungle Bark finish to your amp. Carvin’s professional, American built gear combined with a full line of exciting custom colors will help you stand out both sonically and visually.

Choosing a custom vinyl color for your equipment adds visual appeal and attitude without adding any extra time to your set up, so you can focus on what’s important - playing music- without worrying too much about looking good. Carvin Audio’s got you covered.

Harnessing the Power of Feedback
Harnessing the Power of Feedback

September 15, 2023

Feedback may not be something FOH engineers want to deal with, but it’s a well of creative potential for guitarists. It’s not a new concept – guitarists have been tapping that well since the amp was invented, but it’s still a great way to transcend boundaries, evoke new textures, create atmospheres, and find new tone – without any new tools.

Advanced Guitar Effects for the Experimental Guitarist
Advanced Guitar Effects for the Experimental Guitarist

August 18, 2023

It’s not like the guitar is ever boring. But sometimes you just want to branch out and see what else you can accomplish. This is true if you’re in a noise band or hyper-experimental act, but it’s also true if you’re in a straight-ahead rock band looking to add a few crazy moments to your show or record. So, let’s look at a few advanced effects you can try for that experimental vibe.

5 Effects Every Guitarist Should Try
5 Effects Every Guitarist Should Try

July 31, 2023

We all know pedals are almost as much a part of a guitarist’s essentials as the guitar itself – even more so than amp cabinets, probably. And there are some pedals every guitarist should have in their arsenal as a default. Stuff like a tuner, overdrive, and chorus. But there’s also a world of creativity out there, and there are a few pedals we think every guitarist should try at least once. Here are the top five.
