Sign in to disble this ad
Hey, I have gone threw two acoustic b200 combos as one blew the speaker and the other the preamp both within a few months. So I purchased the peavey TNT 1x15 600. The cab vibrates horribly and sound like crap. I live two hours from the nearest music store and I'm getting tired of driving. Any suggestions on eliminating the vibration in the peavey cab or what unit I should purchase that has good solid construction. I am not to worried about tone as I use my effects chain for this. Thanx |

| | | | Carvin is always a good buy.
They build with strong indestructible cabinets for high grade plywood.
Their amps are well designed and fool proof. A great value.
With pre-amp tube switched out or dialed back, they are relatively transparent to work great with effect chains.

Are you in a band playing against 100 watt half stacks? Maybe end up pushing your amps too hard to keep up?

Use the coupon code R1011, and you can get 10% off with RMC Audio. The prices are with the 10% off. The total price for this rig, shipped, is $538.20. Still leaves you with the option of adding a second cabinet to get the head down to 4 ohms. GK MB200 -- $225  GK Neo 112-II - $314 
You can add this 115 cabinet and get the whole setup for $740.70. |

It's a combo that'll take some punishment, is expandable with another cab, sounds very much like a B-15, and built very well. Of course, I would say that  but it's really a fantastic rig.

If you're patient, you might catch a deal to get it down $600...
