Nice sounding amp!! Are there any other amps on the market that are just as versatile? As a guitar player, I play a lot of jazz, but some times I just like to crank up the gain and play some metal. Are there any amps that will accommodate that?
@hunterlpdc94 Thanks for watching the Carvin demo. As for different amps, right now, I'm using a newer company called 'Blackstar' The R&D guys from Marshall left and formed their own company. I'm using a Blackstar HT Stage 60. For now, Im really happy with it, but as my quest for tone is never ending... that is always subject to change. Good luck in your quest!
@hunterlpdc94 man this is such a versatile amp, got from low to high gain, from plexi to vai lead sound to 80's jcm800, a very nice clean with a beautiful reverb. No other amps as that all-in ;) just need to understand how to set up everything, sometimes u need to krank up the high, and sometime the mids, depending on which sound u want to achieve.
@TrippyTheShroom Doh! My bad. That's what I get for skipping ahead in the video. lol I didn't even hear that part. You're right. I thought you were talking about the intro to Miracle Man from "No Rest For The Wicked", which he plays at around 8:30.
@Korby lol, no problem...i usually do the same thing (skip ahead in videos)...mostly because they reviewer/demoer talks about the amp for like 4 minutes before play
@fallingangels18 I'm sure on some level, yes, there would be. Would I notice it? probably not. Alot of the time, its merely preconceived notions. I had a Line 6 POD X3 that i had programed and die hard tube amp fanatics swore i was using a real Marshall plexi. Only to find it was my line 6. The only reason I purchased this over a combo is that this is because this is what I found on craigslist.
@Sebastianodelarada hey, thanx for watching. the speakers are greenbacks. Initially, I thought they were vintage 30's as thats what the Carvin web site said, but another viewer told me they looked like greenbacks, so I broke out the drill and sure enough they are greenbacks.
@SurfGreenTelecaster I could never claim to be that sophisticated :) that is actually 'Diary of a Madman' by Ozzy Osbourne featuring the late (and great) Randy Rhoads. Thank you for watching, and thank you for the comment/compliment!
@MarkThomasMusic I actually just read that Randy was practicing that Brouwer Etude, and Ozzy wanted him to use it in a song. I never realized. :) Anyway, the Legacy is incredibly versatile, spectacular cleans and drive - great demo.
@MarkThomasMusic Yeah, that's where Randy Rhodes copped "Diary"; he had been studying classical and found "The Little Etudes" book in his mother's music store.
Good demo...I miss my legacy. I always used a nice overdrive in front of the lead channel for my rock tones....but that clean is heavenly....also...6L6s are awesome in it.
Great demo! Thank you very much for posting. By the way, you may want to check your speakers... they look like the Celestion Greenbacks not Vintage 30s... The early Legacy cabs and combos came with the Greenbacks and then Vai switched to the Vintage 30's. You can visually tell the difference because the V30's are larger than the cork rings on the cabs and combos and as such cover them up. The cork rings are visible in your cab so I think the speakers may be Greenbacks.
Hey, thank you very much! I just received your comment and broke out the drill :) you are 100% correct. the speakers in the 2X12 cab ARE in fact Greenbacks. I was going off the carvin website. Now I know :) So thank you again!
You're very welcome! By the way, I played a Legacy a few years ago and it had WAY more gain on tap than you've demonstrated. Perhaps it's the volume level. I played it at 1.5 and you seem to have it below 1. Does your Legacy get more saturated with more volume? If not, perhaps you have a tube issue, or your pickups may be really low output. Just wondering...
Sorry it took me so long to respond. I live in an apartment, so I rarely get to crank the volume :( its like having a shelby GT and having to drive in a perpetual school zone. This amp DOES scream. In the demo, i wanted to show a different side of the amp, so i used my strat. I did get quite a few people asking about the gain, so I made a 2nd demo of the amp using a different guitar to show just the gain channel. Again, thank you for watching AND for your feedback. HAve a great holiday!
sweet tones!!!

Amazing cleans man! Doesn't sound like a metal amp to me though. I've got a 6505 and the gain is much more brutal.

Thanks for the detail in your review. The clean is beautiful but is that the amp compressing or the recording device.
I think you did a great job in covering the amp

"Very Metal Like Tone?" no. I had one and you need a boost for sure on the lead channel. Then you get killer metal tones.
