Carvin X1 Tube Preamp
Featuring clean and dirty channels driven by two 12AX7s, Carvin’s X1 Tube Preamp has a full EQ (bass, mid, treble, and presence) and the ability to use footswitches to switch channels, engage a lead-channel boost, or activate a 5-band graphic EQ. The X1 offers a truly impressive array of tones ranging from spongy, beautifully compressed cleans to crunchy grit or high-gain sounds perfect for singing leads or evil metal.
