Bruce,I need to congratulate you on the CARVIN X1, which has made me feel great emotions, after years of using software emulators of tube amplifiers!!!!!! I could not spend my money better, thank you very very much!!! I’ll tell all the musicians my friends and I really hope you’ll have a great success. Look forward to see what you develop next. Thanks for hanging in there and designing such a versatile and useful piece of gear. I own a V3M and I can attest that both amps are definitely voiced differently, now I have a huge pallet of tonal options. Perfect fit for my home studio, sounded great through my THD Univalve 15. It is amazing! So nice to purchase a product that meets or better yet exceeds expectations.

I want to encourage and thank you for your forward thinking and innovative products. The X1 is the perfect tool for this application. Many performance venues no longer allow bulky amplifiers on stage and want you to play directly into their console or mixing board. This is a product that was ahead of its time. After I started using the amp, I noticed that it didn't seem quite as loud as I expected a 100w amp to be. I had heard that there were problems with volume (not enough), but that Carvin had fixed this issue late in 2010 and that all new models were fine. » DC adapter (included):, 100-240VAC input, 12VDC/1A voltage regulated output, 5.5mmOD/2.1mmID Center Positive 1 I recently purchased (August 2011) a brand new Carvin x100b Series IV reissue 100w amp head. » Bypass type (master): relay engaged hardwire bypass » Footswitches (4): BYPASS(Master or Loop), GEQ, GAIN, CHANNEL
