Anyone have any experience with them? The Legacy in particular.
What did you think of them?
Thanks!

The original Legacy was designed in conjunction with Steve Vai to be his signature amp. The new Legacy II was designed by Ben Fargen along with Steve and the engineers at Carvin and it's now a 3-channel amp. Depending upon one's definition of "heavy lead work", it sure seems to me that the amp was designed for lead work as it's one of Steve Vai's projects.
I own a v3 halfstack and the head is great its just the 4x12 cab it comes with is not built as well as say a mesa or bogner cab.schmasty said:I have had Carvin gear since the late 80's. It's good stuff. I currently have 3 guitars by them a V3 Head and the Legacy 2x12 cab. Had and sold a Carvin MTS3200 Head. I like the V3 Head its pretty nice and sound good once you find your sound it takes alittle time to dial it in so it's not a plug and play amp. I also have a Dual Rec and Rec 4x12 cab.
