Carvin just crammed a 100W power amp into a pedal
MACH100 pedal amp puts your amp right at your feet
Carvin has unveiled the MACH100, a new 100-watt pedal amp compact enough to fit on a pedalboard.
The stereo, two-channel effects pedal can drive two guitar cabinets with 16, 8 or 4 ohm impedance.
The MACH100 is equipped with just one knob – a level control – for master volume adjustment. A mute footswitch allows for instant amp control.
There’s also a line in jack, making it possible to insert a backing track into a performance, as well as a phones output that allows for monitoring the amp output using a 3.5mm stereo cable.
The MACH100 is available for $199. For more information or to purchase, zoom on over to Carvin Audio.
