Condition

Player‑grade and fully functional. Missing the Carvin logo badge, a few knobs, and the original FS36 footswitch, but the amp has been cleaned, flushed, and tested through a proper 4×12. Pots and jacks have been solvent‑cleaned, channels switch properly, and the power section is strong. Tubes are healthy and the amp sounds great.

Description

The Carvin X100B is one of the best "sleeper" tube heads still flying under the radar. Built in the USA with big transformers, over‑spec'd components, and a versatile power section, it delivers tones that easily hang with JCM800s and early Mesa Mark‑series amps — without the boutique price tag or hype.

The clean channel is huge and glassy, the lead channel has fast, articulate response, and the 100/50/25W power switching makes it equally at home on stage or in the studio. Carvin never chased marketing or mythology, so these amps remain one of the last true pro‑level bargains in the tube world. It’s a great pedal platform with a sweet crunch of its own — I like running it at low‑mid gain and stacking my favorite OD.

If you're looking for a loud, reliable, USA‑made tube head with real player value, this X100B delivers. It holds its own against far more expensive Mesas and Marshalls of the era. Compare and see for yourself — Carvin might be the best affordable pro‑quality solution out there.
