Lightweight

One owner

Can be bridged to 1Kw ( 1000W ) 8 ohm to drive single cabs like barefaced for a single cab solution
or can be bridged to 1.6 Kw at 4 ohm

Or can be Bi-Amped with 2 separate power amp outputs

Great Parametric eq and switchable graphic and effects loop

I bought this new in novemeber and it hasn't left my office, I have the original box and packaging so shipping is cool

I bought this with the idea I was going to play in a band but with 2 relocations in the last year I am finding it difficult to settle and meet some musicians.

This is as new and is light weight and as powerful as you would ever need and also tonally versatile.

This needs to go to a good home where it can groove its life away and it is sitting in its box at the moment.

I also have a Gator 4U plastic rack case that I can include in the sale for £30
specs

[color=#666666][font=Cabin][size=3]This the [b]BX1600[/b], featuring a bold new look with greater power and LED panel lighting. 2 mono block amps deliver 800 watts each for biamping when utilizing the front panel crossover. Combine (bridge) both amps and you’ll have one big mono block amp delivering 1600 watts into 4 ohms or 1000w in to 8 ohms. For more than power, this amp a winner with its front-end tone section offering a CLASS A preamp, 3 EQ sections and warm 12AX7 tube. With premium features, rugged construction and weighing in at less than 9 lbs, the BX1600 will be the heart of your rig. So when the blue jewel light comes on, you’ll have the flexibility and power to meet every critical need of your band.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=Cabin][size=3][b]Rackmount/LED Lit Panel[/b]
The 19″ rackmount main frame features a rich red burgundy control panel recessed into a black aluminum enclosure. The black knobs with white line add to its decor and high control visibility making it easy to visualize your settings, and with front panel LEDs this amp stands out in dark environments.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=Cabin][size=3][b]Dual High Headroom Tube Driven Power Amps[/b]
Two mono block amps each deliver 325w RMS at 8 ohms, 500w at 4 ohms or 800w at 2 ohms, or when bridged 1000w at 8 ohms or 1600w at 4 ohms. The BX1600 uses transparent limiters for each amp to maintain its high headroom, assuring clean power from each amp. For added warmth, simply engage the internal 12AX7 TUBE, which inserts a tube stage in front of each power amp for added tube tone. The front panel single knob COMPRESSOR adjusts the peaks for your style of playing. String slapping is no problem with a simple turn of the knob, giving you full control over heavy notes.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=Cabin][size=3][b]Drive Control[/b]
The DRIVE control adjusts the input level to the CLASS A preamps and compensates for the input sensitivity of various bass pickups. The DRIVE will add harmonic content to your sound when approaching 10 on the dial, which pushes the CLASS A preamps into a sweet overdrive.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=Cabin][size=3][b]Three EQ/Tone Systems[/b]
The BX1600 features 3 EQ sections: The first section is a single knob CONTOUR that offers a flat setting when turned off. When turned up, the contour knob brings in a “mid-scoop” to eliminate the “mud” in the mids, extending the bass and highs. The second EQ section is a powerful 5-BAND TONE SYSTEM with 3 PARAMETRIC sweepable mid controls that offer frequency enhancements from boost or cuts to the LOW MID, MID, & HI MID along with conventional BASS and TREBLE controls. The third EQ section is a stereo 9-BAND GRAPHIC EQ with defined frequencies for bass sculpting, which is activated by the front switch or the optional FS22 footswitch for solo tone or alternate bass presets.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=Cabin][size=3][b]Direct Output[/b]
The direct out features a DI LEVEL control, and a PRE/POST switch controlling the XLR balanced output on the rear. The PRE setting is buffered directly from the input jack to the XLR adding no color or tone to your instrument. The POST setting includes the EQ and EFFECTS LOOP, bypassing the MASTER LEVEL. This enables level changes without affecting the XLR output. The XLR is muted by the MUTE switch. The GROUND LIFT switch next to the XLR helps isolate hum to the recording or PA console.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=Cabin][size=3][b]Other Features[/b]
– MASTER level controls the overall level
– BIAMP CROSSOVER with crossover frequencies between 100 and 2,000 Hz, separates the lows from the highs each going to their own amp and speakers, which is easily engaged with the IN/OUT CROSSOVER switch

These really are great amps for people who want a lot of power.

I remember Alex at BF saying how well the big power Carvin amps worked with his cabs.

Loads of flexibility in terms of tone shaping as well!0

[funky8884]

Cheers Molan , your right about the power ! And tonal flexibility,

I'm pretty sure Alex mentioned the suitability of the carvin amps to his cabs on f&£book.

This will power any cab on the market sufficiently and it is very light !!
