Are you still using just the battery or did you get the AC adaptor?

The MG series is solid state,popular line,a little noisy(hiss) when cranked,but they are a good amp for the practicing musician. I`d take one!!

That is good if it's tube. I got lucky. When I was in the market, I found a music store clerk who needed the cash and let his mid '70s 50 watt half stack go for $350. He locked the store up and we went to his house. Cash and carry of course, but that amp kicked ass. I used to run it in stereo with my Carvin 100 watt through my Boss ME-5. Tough set up, but it was worth it. I was the only guitartist, but it sounded like there was two of us because the sounds were so different.

You`re probably checking out a solid state model,they can be had fairly cheap. A true tube amp will set you back a couple of mortgages!!
Look at Krank,they have two mini combo`s that can be had in half stack configurations,their newest one has an expanded EQ section,but they are still not cheap!!

I have had the older Boss OD-1 and the DS-1 in the past and loved them. And thanks to a very generous fellow board member here,I have the DS-1 again. Been a Boss guy for a long time,not that I think they are superior,but they are readily available and consistently good. I use my DS-1 thru my son`s Fender G-Dec Jr. amp ,and combined with the internal overdrive in the 80`s British mode,it`s a great tone for all era`s of metal.

i use a small peavey combo amp and i use a Boss Super Overdrive SD-1 in series with a Boss Distortion DS-1 on the clean channel and it sounds pretty good its probably the best tone i can get at the moment. My amp doesn't have a built-in overdrive or distortion.

Correct. And I like to "surprised" the clean channel with
a Overdrive and/or a Distortion Pedal.
The combination of my Boss OD-1 Overdrive or my OD-2 Turbo Overdrive and my Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal Distortion Pedals is awesome. |

I used Carvin exclusively back in '87-'88. They were an awsome company with great equipment and an even greater amount of integrity and commitment to quality. I loved their speaker cabinets. At the time, they were the only affordable option for fully enclosed cabs with big speakers ( 4x12 ). The bass knock out of those were incredible.

I love the hell out of my Carvin Legacy and V3 amp heads running through Vintage 30 speakers. The Legacy is my main rig but the V3 is better for really dirty harsh nue metal. When I play live, sound guys love me. My setup cuts through the mix, maintains low end and is very easy for them to work with. |

S.Leads
Didn`t you post a pic of your stuff once,I seem to recall seeing one and you mentioned how great the V3 is far Vintage Priest!
I love Carvin`s stuff,had a little bad luck with an order from them a while back,but wasn`t their fault,more of a UPS thing.
I know the vintage 30`s are a good speaker,I had the Carvin British series in my Marshall cabs,put them in in the late 90`s. My favorite Celestion is a discontinued model... the Cloth Edge Sidewinders, used another guys cabs once and he had these in there ...my god I have never heard a speaker breathe like that,man it was thick with a truly amazing top end.
The Legacy has a very glassy clean tone,good for old Van Halen stuff.
