Carvin Nomad/Belair, any thoughts?

I'm looking for feedback on the Carvin Vintage series amps.

Anybody have any experience with these?

No, but i dig the guitars they make; the way they are made to order. A $500 amp isn't a bad investment; check out some reviews via Harmony Central. You do have to take some of those reviews with a grain of salt (or two).

I ended up going with Peavey Classic 30.

Having said that, I do agree with about their guitars (I'm espcially fond of the CT3M), and I love the idea of a coil split on the pick ups.

I never was a fan of peavey amps, until someone let me play through an old 50-watt 2x12 tube Fender tweed rip-off. It sounded every bit as full and chimey as any Fender I've ever heard. I was totally jealous!

You know, it's funny I considered a lot of amps. I was really looking for that Fender clean, and a British Overdrive, and I really like what comes out of the Peavey Classics.
