Carvin X100-B 100 Watt Tube Amplifier Head

The X-100B series tube amps were a mainstay on many arena stages and MTV videos throughout the 1980's. Artists such as Frank Zappa, Craig Chaquico with Jefferson Starship, Warrant, Warren Cuccurullo with Missing Persons, and Steve Vai all played X100B amps. Frank Zappa raved about the Clean channel on this amp. Steve Vai recorded a song called "Blue Powder" (available on his first solo release Flexable) featuring the X100B.

This is a used amp in pristine condition and sounds great. It has a newer set of matched Ruby power tubes. It is extremely powerful and responds well to being driven by a distortion pedal. The amp has been kept in a smoke-free, dry environment and you would be hard pressed to find a nicer one. The foot switch is included.

I will meet a buyer halfway (up to 100 miles travel for me) if that is helpful.
