Carvin X1 tube preamp

I would love to have tried more pre-Kiesel Carvin pickup designs.

I have tried them all in fact have many in a box here. I prefer the newer Alnico mag Kiesel designs to most of the old Carvin stuff. They have a few real killers but none get the push or exposure they deserve. In fact the 2 Humbuckers I like the most from them aren't even listed on the Pickup Builder page. You have to know to ask for them from a rep to get them and it's a real shame.

The Carvin M22SD is very similar to a Dimarzio Evolution, except the bass is more focused / not flabby, has better upper mids and Bill Lawrence XL-500 treble that can be tamed by lowering the lugs or lowering the pickup.
