Have 4 heads right now the 2 PRS heads (MT 15 and the Archon 50) my Boogie DC 5 and the old Carvin X 50. Also own 2 Combos ( Zinky Blue Velvet and a Boogie Subway Rocket). I simply am out of room as have all my gear here at the house in a converted office / Music room so one of the heads need to go. Have though the most about selling ether the Carvin or the Boogie but have had also considered selling the MT 15 now that I have the Anchon and taking the Boogie to my church. The Boogie is better built and much quieter. Both the Boogie and Carvin are great sounding well built heads with vastly different personalities. The Carvin is a unique one year model and has a modded Marshal vibe which is a tone I don't have right now without it. The Boogie is a great amp but the new Archion covers the same territory and frankly is just better in every way. Cleans are bigger rounder and more forgiving on the Archon. The crunches are similar with the Boogie having a little more versatility but side by side the Archon has a harmonic content that just is breathtaking a 3d effect and depth to the tone unlike anything I have ever played.
Wild card is the Boogie will bring more $ than the others and is replaceable. The Carvin is unique and would not be easily replaceable as there are only a handful of these 1991 only EL 34 powered Hot Rod Mod 50 heads out there as no more than a couple hundred were built. The MT 15 is really a cool amp with great tones but is very hard to control at low volumes and the loop is really sensitive to any noise. It however would likely be the easiest to sell of the 3 and do I really need it now that I have the Archon?
