Guitar Amps
Carvin offered a handful of guitar amps
in 1966, in combo and stack form, all in a solid-state configuration. Although there were only a few to choose from,
it was a start that would continue to grow.

The Concert Series Amp was
available in 3 models: the Mark II, which was 30W with a 12"
Jensen speaker; the Mark IV, which was 60W with a 15" Jensen
speaker; and Mark VII, which was 60W with two 10" Jensen
speakers. The Mark II sold for $125.90, the Mark IV sold for
$149.90, and the Mark VII sold for $169.90. A Hammond Reverb
unit could be added to all of these models for an additional

All Carvin amps used the same control
configuration, which was a 2-channel setup, which included a 2-band parametric
EQ on each channel, as well as depth, speed and reverb on channel 1.
The #4-10B Lead
Amplifier was a 60W combo that used 4 10" Jensen speakers.
The top-mounted controls were the same as shown above, and like other
Carvin amps, the Hammond Reverb unit was optional. The direct
price on this unit was $199.90. |
