BobF_ Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I'm itching for a new amp to go with my new guitars. I really like the features (on paper) of both the Carvin V3M and the H&K TM18. Searching around for reviews, I don't see a lot either way for the Carvin and quite a bit of hate for the TM18. I thought I would check the trusted source - here :) Anybody have them, played them, no somebody ... good, bad, ugly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I have the Carvin Legacy and really like it. I haven't been on the Carvin boards in awhile, but from what I remember the V3 got a lot of love there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Any Carvin gets love on their boards. My experience is that Carvins are a great value, amps and guitars, but I can't tell you what sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 H&K tubemeister 18 is pretty sweet. My friend has one and it does a *****ing job as his practice amp so he doesn't need to lug the triamp or duo tone. Great cleans and distortion. And on 5 watts, it'll keep up with a drummer lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I had a Carvin XT112 in college. Not a lot of fond memories with that amp in regards to tone and it eventually when to crap when I went into the studio to record an album. Also, the foot switch was this weird XLR thing that was difficult for amp techs to repair. Think I went through three of them in the six or so years I owned it. There more recent line of amps may be better, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
