The other fresh attraction at SV Guitars is Dr. Z amplifier. I had the chance to try the Carmen Ghia combo & it certainly has one of the best cleans around. It's not the Fender clunk you would hear but a warm, clean offering, much in line with Blackstar & Marshall to put it simply. That tone knob there is a peculiar control unit & doesn't work like a traditional feature where you'd get more treble upon turning it clockwise. There are some sweet spots to be heard so it's best turned incrementally but once you reach maximum at around 5 o'clock, there is a total truncation of treble- be warned (it's not a design anomaly but one specified by the manufacturer). I did get a chance to plug some pedals in & the Dr. Z magic here is that you'd be able to hear the warm tube responses at the background making sure your set up isn't too synthetic tone-wise. Maybe this is why it's a preferred recording amplifier.

zomggggggggggg gas gas gas
there is also the stack version, Dr. Z cabs can be purchased seperately as well so good news to those of us looking to own a 2 x 10" which is a near impossible find here :-)
Hi Sub,
my wife has banned me from visiting your website after I bought the Ghia. She says the ban is more effective than cutting up the credit card!
Love the amp, though!
Cheers!
ooh... that hurts. my regards to her, tell her to incriminate something legal is unconstitutional :-)
The wife says hi and with reference to her being unconstitutional, "Welcome to Singapore!".
Have a good week ahead, you devil's advocate!
:)
he he... singapore IS constitutional, it's just that many of us feel otherwise. time for change, yes? maybe May 7th it'll happen :-)
