love the head but I always roll gear so getting another head and need to sell the Carvin to pay for it.
I rewired an cab and couldn't get the BX200 to do 2ohms without going into protect mode after about 20mins (don't know if it's the amp or my wiring job on the cabinet)....other than that the amp is in great shape cosmetically and functions 100% at 8ohm or 4ohms and is loud. Comes with a 4 space rack box (orange tolex....home job....stapled on) with front and back lids that are not tolexed (gray rat fur). Posting pictures tomorrow. Local Austin / Central Texas as I don't want to worry about shipping.
300.00 firm (would straight trade for a Kustom DE300).
Pics coming tomorrow.
