Great power amp! I've read some less than kind reviews online about Carvin's amps but I've always had good luck with mine.Been thinking about picking up the Carvin DCM1000L... How do you like it?
Nice! I'm a huge fan of prog rock!No, Brent I still have the BBE. The VT pre is fantastic. Great old school tone. Using it in a prog rock band I'm in, Green Star Relief Station. This photo was taken at a recent recording session and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
I still use the BBE in my Country band and other gigs where the SVT type overdrive isn't needed. It's a great pre as well!

Yep, I can do this in one trip.
Bass in my Mono Vertigo, pedalboard in Mono Tick strapped to case, Mesa D800 in its carry bag, and I strap the stand to the Vertigo with one of straps that came with the Nano case that I don't use.
Vertigo case on my back, F210 in one hand, Head case in the other
Truly a tiny beast![]()
Nice looking rig. Is that fEARFul cab?

Time for me to update my MRD.
I posted a thread about the somewhat backwards way that I morphed into this iteration:
The Unintended Micro
Here is a shot of the rig:

This iteration consists of: Sadowsky Outboard Preamp / Demeter Minnie 800D / Bergantino HD112.
I should perhaps refer to this version as the Minnie Rig of Doom. LOL
Tell you what; this little rig kicks like an angry mule. BAM. I may try this at my next Sports Bar gig with the loud drummer. I think it can handle it.
BTW any recommendations on a carrying bag for this? so i can put the amp and cab in there and just carry it with one hand or via a strap.

Ah, yes, that would be my Seiko tuner. I may not use much in the way of effects; but, the tuner is a fixture.What's on the top right of the Minnie?
Great looking MROD by the way!
Nice. That rig brings an entirely new definition to "hitting the rails."I actually got my complete rig on a trolley. Eich XS112, Roland Jazz Chorus, Moog Sub Phatty and my bag. Bass on the back and into public transport we go!
