Building tube guitar amplifiers since 1949, Carvin They have been used by top professionals
like; Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Craig Chaquico, Allan Holdsworth, Larry Carlton,
Chet Atkins and other great musicians. You will discover that these amplifiers represent
a significant sound improvement over conventional tube amplifiers.
TECHNICAL DESIGN OF THE MTS3200
The MTS3200 design criteria was to build an all-tube guitar amp that sounded better
than anything else on the market. This meant that the MTS3200 was going to be totally
new from the ground up and that it was going to be an all tube design with no IC’s
or transistors.
HIGH IMPEDANCE GUITAR INPUT
Carvin has long known about the effects of miss-loading a guitar pickup which can
cause high frequency loss. The MTS3200 guards against this loss with its ultra high
input impedance. Also, we considered the capacitance of the average shielded guitar
cable which can reduce the high frequency response of your guitar pickups. Unlike
other amplifiers, we purposely avoided adding capacitance anywhere in the preamp to
control high frequency oscillations. Instead, we controlled oscillations through careful
component layout and lead placement allowing its shimmering highs to be reproduced.
CLEAN AND OVERDRIVE CHANNELS
The equalization of the clean and overdrive channel is designed to offer clarity to
your instrument. Special mud-cutting circuits eliminate the unwanted sounds in the
500 to 700 Hz range which normally take away the tone definition of your instrument.
You will also take notice of the clean channels PRESENCE switch which adds
acoustic voicing to your instrument. This switch boosts only the guitars very highest
harmonics which are in the 10k Hz range instead of the normal 3K Hz of a bright
switch. The PRESENCE control on the lead channel is designed to adjust the “edge”
on your sound. It’s dynamic range allows for super-smooth sounds or an edge for
DYNAMIC 5881 POWER TUBES
Your amp is equipped with 5881 power tubes because of their smooth distortion,
responsive sound and reliability. The compression characteristics of these “soft clip”
power tubes respond to the dynamic range of lead guitar playing. These tubes react
even to the most subtle touch—if you play soft, the tubes remain clean and if you
increase your attack they respond accordingly.
TONE CONTROLS
The T-Bridge passive BASS, MID and TREBLE tone controls offer a wide range of
tone settings. Take full advantage by setting them where they sound best. Your
sound may not be at center 5 on the dial. These controls will not affect or color your
sound when set at extreme settings, nor do they interact with each other. The greater
range of these controls comes from the high impedance 1 meg sealed pots (most
guitar amps use 250k pots). The frequency of the bass control is set at 80 Hz while
the mid control is set at 650 Hz. The treble control is set at a very high 11k Hz giving
the MTS3200 it’s dynamic highs.
REVERB
The FS22 footswith for the long tailed REVERB system in the MTS3200 switches only
the reverb “send” leaving the tail of the reverb to decay naturally, the way it’s done in the
studio. A special pre filter eliminates the spring “boing” normally heard in other systems
giving it a “lush” sound. The all tube reverb system offers vibrant clarity with full depth
reminiscent of the sixties tube amps
