Add a Carvin v3 with a bognar uberschall cabinet, good idea- bad idea??

zec1369 · 04-20-2008, 11:36 PM

i would like a second opion on what someone thinks of adding a carvin v3 head with a bognar uberschall 4x12 cab

budda · 04-21-2008, 04:35 AM

why would it be a bad idea...?

zec1369 · 04-21-2008, 08:30 AM

not saying it's either just looking for some insight, if they are compatable? the uberschall cab is wired at 8 ohms and i'm wondering if that has any effect on overall tonality of the v3

budda · 04-21-2008, 10:49 AM

the V3 runs at 8ohms right? then its fine.

Zer0 · 04-22-2008, 01:17 AM

It should sound just fine, the ubercab sounds at least pretty good in most amps imo.

That combo would be fine, but if you're going to step to a Bogner 4x12 (which is around 1100$ I believe)I would get a better amp head. Honestly I think for the money there are MUCH better amp heads to be had, not that the V3 is bad or anything, but everytime I heard it it's sounded overly bright as well as fizzy. For around 900$ used you could get:

a 5150
Madison Divinity (New actually)
ENGL (probably a Fireball)
Mesa single recto
used JSX

All are better than the V3 in my opinion...if you like any of these amps (and they are all killer) maybe consider going used?

I always though the V3 was a good amp if tweaked right

Benzesp · 04-22-2008, 12:16 PM

Dude, the V3 is an awesome amp, I dont know why so many people dog it so much. Carvin makes a solid amp, want an X100b reissue! But yea V3 with a Bogner cab, even better. You find a good deal on one?

I like the tone Codyyy gets out of his V3, for as much as you can pull from YouTube videos.
