New amp arrival!

[robelinda2]

Well i finally bought me a new amp to play my AL's through at home, my two other gigging amps are just too much, too loud for home use. Ive been looking for ages for an amp that just makes me wanna go home with it, and nothing over the past year has done it. I wanted a nice classy small amp, that sounds cool, looks cool, not too heavy, and i found this yesterday

Never thought of Carvin before, but this amp seriously is cool. 16 watts, and can be switched down to 5 watts, which is very cool. Very simple to use, no crap, takes pedals well, oozes classy tube tone. Fender style amp really.

What a combo with my super duper special forum Black Sparkle Albert Lee. amazing tones, thanks again guys for making this guitar so special, every day I think about how wonderful things are and how much support you all gave, it means the world to my little family. Tom is doing so well, its amazing. He's improved out of sight over the past 10 days since coming home from hospital, its just great.

Nice one Rob - I've never tried a Carvin - you'll have to post some clips?
Great news too on little Tom.

It's all good Rob!

Hey Rob!

I just found these in your sig.
I think that Al is his baby! He's thinking he can't wait until he knows to play that fretboard! Priceless.

Very cool Rob, nice amp love the simplicity, before I pulled the trigger on the Soldano, that was the other amp i was looking at, nice to see little Tom doing well Congrats

 

[robelinda2]

I dont know if its dumb or not, but every day i spend 15 minutes showing a guitar to Tom, just holding the fretboard in front of him, like in the pics, and seeing what he does, over time he has really gotten used to it, as soon as i put it in front of him he grabs it with both hands, and kinda flings his hands at the strings and laughs at the noise, he gets bored after a while and goes back to his toys, but I'm happy with that, he's only 7 months old!

 

[fogman]

Rob,

That's not dumb at all! That's awesome.
Those are great memories you're creating. He may be a child prodigy because of it. You and your wife are the best teachers he'll ever get.

 

[robelinda2]

So long as he has fun i'm happy, his smile is everything, no pressure at all!

Man, this is one great amp, perfect match for the AL.

Classic pics of Tom totally engrossed in the AL. He looks great

The youngest of my two boys will immediately strum the open strings of a guitar and start singing twinkle twinkle little star. Meanwhile, my older son straps on his mini electric and wants to windmill like Townsend

It really is incredible to see your child react to something totally new and foreign and how you can watch their mind work

 

[lenny]

Every time i read about Tom...its an emotional experience.....we only have the one child and thats about all we were able to have safely ......so Keep up the Karma on this board gang its working!!!!!!Good to see him Rockin an Al at such a young age! and oh yah the Looks great!

Classy and spanky looking little amp, Rob. I never got into Carvin stuff, curious what that 16 sounds like.

Great to see Tom progressing along. Good on yas mate.

 

[roburado]

Thanks, Rob.

 

[roburado]

Rob, it looks like you really cranked it up there.

 

[jazzbo jim]

[JeffreyB]

GOOD STUFF MAN!!! How about some sound clips of the AL and the Carvin? and then maybe some of Tom cooing along!!!!!!

He's looking great, Rob....truly a blessing.
