NAD! Carvin Content...

Those are great amps! Wish Carvin still existed and offered audio and live sound gear.

 

Used that amp for many years. Unlimited EQ options, crossover, ability to bridge, compressor, etc. Don't really think you will need the power conditioner, but, a nice throw in. If I wasn't so lazy to carry around a rack mounted rig, I would still be using it.

 

Iirc, I put the BX1500 in a short depth rack unit. Cut down on the weight and made the schlepp a little easier.

 

Dump the conditioner. All it is is a glorified power bar.

 

I really like my BX500. Carvin did good on that series.

 

I REALLY miss my BX1500....I ran it through a SWR Megoliath (8x10) split cabbed and WOW I really miss that tone.
Great pickup!
Have fun. Remember the only real problem they MAY ever have is the flat ribbon cable inside may loosen and get dirty contacts. So just spray cleaner and reinsert ribbon and rock on!
Of course you already know that..

 

You can see the cab and head in my bands video if you wanted to check it out.

 

I still have and use my Carvin BX1200. Great amps

 

Those are great amps, the built in compressors are excellent ime.

I'm pretty sure if the port where you plug the power cord into is blue in color it's revised and won't have the ribbon issue, if it's black, you may need to check it out

 

Love mine. Had a band where the guitarist wanted to get into a volume war. I won't say I won... but eventually the keys called us both idiots and told us to turn down.

The biggest difference was that I knew I was being stupid. Great amp.

 

I'm a big fan of this series, have the 200/250W combo as well as a BX500. Great sounding FET frontend/Comp/EQs in those
