  LEGACY DRIVE VLD1
  Create your own Legacy with the VLD1 Legacy DRIVE tube pedal. The VLD1’s tube technology with simple, yet comprehensive and modern features delivers the sound of Steve Vai’s Legacy amplifier in a preamp pedal. Incorporate the VLD1 in your rig as a preamp, a pedal or by going direct.
  

  MACH100
  The MACH100 100W (50W/50W) Stereo Pedal Amplifier is designed for the modern guitarist who wants a compact high output amplifier that fits right on the pedal board. Use the stereo 2 channel amplifier to drive two guitar cabinets with 16, 8 or 4 ohm impedance. The LINE IN jack allows you to insert a backing track into your performance. Using the PHONES output, you can monitor the amplifier output using a 3.5mm stereo cable. The LEVEL control allows the user to adjust master volume of the amplifier. The MUTE switch lets you instantly control the output of the amplifiers with the press of the switch. Step up to the next level of compact amplification today.
  
  V112E
  Enrich your guitar tone with the V112E 12-inch guitar extension cabinet from Carvin Amps and Audio. Added richness is not only delivered from the EMINENCE GT12-8 speaker, but from the natural wood enclosure that features the advantage of an enclosed back. You not only get the crystal clear high-end, but also the deep, rich bass from your low E string that open backs can’t offer.

  "I just got off stage after using the new pedal for half the show in Calgary. I went back to the amp for the other half just to compare. They are very very close, but my sound man likes the new pedal version better. This is going to make my life a lot easier. Thank you thank you thank you."

  -David Fullerton
  "Great Addition to Guitar Arsenal. Phenomenal!"

  Dan M, IATSE Local#2
  My search for a pre-amp “drive” pedal may have finally come to an end. I have been playing the guitar for 45+ years, I haven’t played out much since I was a younger man, but still play every day. I have long since rejected the idea that any guitar, amp, or pedal sounds better or worse than any other. I carry this idea into my very long career as a sound engineer, there is no “best” mic, “best line array”, or “best mixing console”. It’s what you do with it that matters.

  When it comes to your guitar, the same thing applies, if your rig feels good to you, and serves your music, then that’s it! Not that it isn’t fun to keep exploring new things, but you are the only valid judge of the value and usefulness of your instrument.

  This leads me to my opinion of the Legacy Drive I recently acquired from Carvin, and why it is likely a good tool for others as well as me. This device has an enormous range of control. It can move quite smoothly through the domain of “Pre-amp/drive” pedals from a very clean boost to total high gain. Again the path through these is very smooth making it easy to slide your way through until you come to just the effect you want.

  In the clean end of the spectrum the pedal seems to open up the guitar, sort of as if it is taking all the load off of the pickups.

  The foot switch arrangement allows you to instantly bounce around through three gain levels, and bypass.

  Whatever type of front end sculpting you are looking for, you can achieve it with the VLD1.

  Received cab. It's beautiful. I will be breaking it in asap. UPS was on time. Polite. Awesome. Thanks for making great American products, Carvin amps!

   

  "My Mach 100 pedal arrived yesterday and it is a winner! After trying an Orange Pedal Baby I was skeptical about any small or pedal style power source, but after being happy with other Carvin products since 1983, I had to give the Mach 100 a chance. Your pedal supplies plenty of power and really replicates the tone of my pre-amp extremely well. The Pedal Baby just came across flat to me, but the Mach 100 gives me the full range of tone I was hoping for. I'm glad I stumbled upon your video on You Tube and put my trust in Carvin once again." -Jon S.-TX

  "I auditioned the MACH100 through several different cabs, and, as anticipated, the MACH100 is primarily a loud and clean pedal, which makes it ideal as a neutral tonal center for the many effects and drives on my pedalboard. A small box with a big output, the MACH100 makes perfect sense for those looking for loud, clean and reliable power – perfect for when your amp fails on your, perfect for building a compact and portable pedalboard rig." -Guitar World Magazine

  "MusicRadar verdict: The MACH100 has such an extraordinary amount of power and neutral tone that it makes absolute sense for the gigging musician to carry one, either as a backstop in case of amp failure or to use as part of a fully portable pedalboard rig."-MusicRadar.com
