ANYWAYS, back to the talk about Carvin...For those of you who live near one of their stores, have any of you tried the new V3 amp? It looks like a beast! It's a 3 channel amp (2 distortion and one clean channel) with a bunch of extra switches and knobs for tone shaping. and at $899 its about half of what you'd pay for a new Mesa Boogie Dual Rec 3 channel. Try it out and enlighten me!
