Re: Carvin Legacy?
It's not a bad amp, but I think your money would be better spent on a Marshall DSL 50, DSL 401, and a small Fender or Peavey combo. Similar price range. I can't tell you what to buy, tho. You pretty much need to check out the Legacy and a few others and see what your ears tell you.

He uses them live. The G3 Denver and Live @ Astoria DVD's sound pretty killer to me.

Too bad those amps have the guts of a bogner in them.

Re: Carvin Legacy?
Those are pretty closely guarded secrets. The fact is, pro's have their stock gear worked on by their amp techs as well as guys like Reinholdt 9 times outta 10. It may not mean that the guts were stripped out and replaced, although I've heard some credible statements about Ed's 5150's. As far as Vai's legacies, I'm sure there have been some components changed inside to help the fidelity, although like Ed's pickups, we'll never really know the whole truth. It's not just products like Carvin or Peavey. It's no secret that lots of gigging amps have mods and work done, including super highend amps.

Tweaked perhaps but not replaced wholesale as has been suggested. Who doesn't mod their stuff? Thats an entirely different matter.

Re: Carvin Legacy?
Why have your stage amps modded if it's a signature amp... surely you would just have them made that way originally?
As for quality... if i were a pro, i'd get the company to make me a personal model with high-grade parts... the design to the production model could be kept identical, could it not?
