  • I have #91 of original 100 signed X100B Series IV Head. Love the clean and dirty sounds on this amp but the amp lacked volume compared to my other amps even when using the active EQ on either channel. Carvin wrongly designed the effects loop on these early amps to always be in circuit (even when effects loop was turned off). The stock effects circuit did a 10 db volume cut at all times. I clipped the -10 effects switch resistor out and the amp volume doubled but still sounds great playing quiet.

  • Just got it today! Unfortunately i still need to buy a cab. Bought it off a guy $260! crazy deal!

  • LOL... God i love some of the faces this guy makes.

  • @timothycomer HMM... I don't know. I've got an X100b series IV...LOVE IT!!!! I' was looking at the V3, but didn't have the scratch at the time, so went with this. Am i sorry... NO FUCKING WAY!!!! Do i still want a V3 for some of the heavyer tones...mmmm maybe. I do just fine with this and my Boss GT8. But still....One can dream. Keep rocking.

  • thissold me. im gonna try and get one, a guy is selling a halfstack near me for 600 =]

  • I may be getin' one in a trade! I use to have a V3. But yer demo's helped alot on sellin' me on this amp!! I think it will out Rock the V3!!! Awesome playin' btw too!!

  • I've had mine for about two months and am completely happy with it!!!!! It complements any guitar i plug into it. If i want a heavier tone, i just kick in a distortion pedal. This amp has great harmoinc overtones, and note seperation on chords,and is alot less hissey than other amps of the same wattage. The 100/50/25 watt switch is great. Killer amp!!! Can not recommend it enogh!!!! Great demo also!!!

  • Very smoky

  • Another great comprehensive review of this killer amp!!!! I am looking to get a new head, and this just shot to the top of my list!!! THANKS!!! Yeah i know... " HEH HEH you said head"... GROW UP ;)

    If you like 80s hard rock and early Metallica tones, then this is your amp. It is very much a classic rock amp. If you are going to play modern metal or death metal, then a V3 would be your amp. You can always use a pedal to get metal tones on the X100B. It takes pedals very well. This amp is very similar to a Mesa Boogie Mark III.
