Here we have the classic Carvin X-60 combo amplifier in excellent condition. The Carvin X-60 (and its head variant, the X-60B) is a vintage, all-tube 60-watt guitar amplifier manufactured by Carvin Audio during the 1980s. It was built in Southern California as a more compact, portable, and lower-wattage version of Carvin's famous flagship X-100B amplifier. Known as the "poor man's Mesa Boogie," it is highly regarded today as a versatile and underrated vintage tube amp.

Core Specifications & Features

• Tube Layout: Typically powered by two 6L6 power tubes and three 12AX7 preamp tubes.
• Channels: Dual-channel design featuring a Rhythm (Clean) channel and a Lead (Drive) channel.
• Push/Pull Controls: Features various push/pull knobs on the front panel for "Bright" mode on the clean channel, channel switching, and a "Super Lead" gain boost.
• EQ Options: Depending on the exact year and variation, it features either a traditional 3-band parametric EQ with a presence control or a built-in 5-band graphic EQ.
• Speaker & Cabinet: The combo versions (X-60 or X-60A) usually shipped with a single 12-inch "British" Carvin speaker or an OEM Celestion speaker.
• Sonic Characteristics & Tonal Profile:
• Fender-Like Cleans: The Rhythm channel is widely praised for its high headroom and pristine, warm clarity. Engaging the bright switch provides a sparkly twang reminiscent of a vintage Fender Twin Reverb.
• Marshall-Esque Crunch: The Lead channel delivers a clipping, "brown sound" overdrive that leans heavily toward classic British rock and hot-rodded Marshall JCM-800 tones.
• Includes original footswitch!
• Buy with confidence from an established seller!

NOTE: Too cool. Late last summer we shipped a 1967 MapleGlo Rickenbacker 6-12 Converter 'comb' guitar to Billy Corigan of Smashing Pumpkins! We also then shipped a vintage 50 watt Marshall head to L.A. studio-touring guitarist extraodinaire, Michael Landau, and 2 vintage guitars to Jack White's organization down in Nashville just a few days before his 50th. birthday! mmm? Add 'The Kentucky Head Hunters' to the list, just sold Greg a cool little 50's Valco tube combo amp!

Gordy's Music has become a Detroit institution! Our shop was used as a filming location for a few films like "Miracle in Motor City" a Christmas movie on Lifetime (featuring Smoky Robinson). We've supplied gear for movies including "Bill & Ted Face The Music" with Keanu Reeves. We've got decades of celebrity customers, including recent visits from Beck, Eric Johnson, and we recently sold Billy Joel's bassist a cool Gibson SG he is in love with. One day a while back Andre 3000 and his group stopped in to browse as they were playing Masonic Temple that night and right after that we sold an old oil can Morley Wah Vibrato pedal to Credence Clearwater Revival's thee John Fogerty!

We are having and have had a lot of fun here at Gordy's Music! I was just remembering about 35 years ago a tour bus pulled up to our little shop, and who rolls right in and hangs out for an hour? Lenny Kravitz and his entire group, right about the same time I was selling many guitars to and chauffeuring around Dee Dee Ramone who had an apartment a block down from my house.
