New
for 1999 was the Vai Legacy Series of guitar amps. Steve Vai had
been a Carvin endorser since his days with fellow Carvin endorser
Frank Zappa in the early 80's, and that relationship with Carvin came
to fruition with the introduction of these signature amps. The
100W VL100 head delivered 100 watts in a dual-channel, all tube
package with volume, bass, mid, treble & presence for each channel
and master reverb. The head was available by itself, or in a
single stack (VL412) or double stack (VL812 - shown at right) package,
both of which featured C412 cabinets loaded with Celestion G12M
Greenback speakers. The Legacy head sold for $799.95, the VL412
single stack sold for $1199.95, and the VL812 double stack sold for
$1699.95. The C412 cabinets were available in straight or
slanted fronts, for $499.95 each. |
