NOMAD, BEL AIR COMBO & VINTAGE16 GUITAR AMPS
Congratulations on your purchase of the VINTAGE TUBE SERIES all tube ampli-
fier. Carvin has been building tube guitar amplifiers since 1949. They have been
used by top professionals like; Joe Walsh, Chet Atkins, Jeff Beck, James Burton,
Jorma Kaukonen, and many other great musicians. You will discover that these
amplifiers represent a significant sound improvement over conventional tube ampli-
fiers. Spend time with your new amp and get to know it’s many sounds.
TECHNICAL DESIGN OF THE VINTAGE TUBE SERIES
The VINTAGE TUBE SERIES is 100% tube design—no IC’s, FET’s or transistors. The design
criteria was to build an all-tube guitar amp that sounded better than anything else on the market.
This meant that the VINTAGE TUBE SERIES was going to be totally new from the ground up
and that it was going to be an all tube design.
DYNAMIC EL84 POWER TUBES
Premium EL84 power tubes are selected for their excellent saturation and power soak char-
acteristics. Just like early VOX AC30 amps, EL84’s are used for their ideal transconduc-
tance delivering a tight bottom and soft drive with superior definition.
HIGH IMPEDANCE GUITAR INPUT
Carvin has long known about the effects of miss-loading a guitar pickup which can cause
high frequency loss. The VINTAGE TUBE SERIES guards against this loss with its ultra high
input impedance. Also, we considered the capacitance of the average shielded guitar cable
which can reduce the high frequency response of your guitar pickups. Unlike other ampli-
fiers, we purposely avoided adding capacitance anywhere in the preamp to control high fre-
quency oscillations. Instead, we controlled oscillations through careful component layout
and lead placement allowing its shimmering highs to be reproduced.
CLEAN AND SOAK CHANNELS
The equalization of the clean and soak channel is designed to offer clarity to your instru-
ment. Special mud-cutting circuits eliminate the unwanted sounds in the 500 to 700 Hz
range which normally take away the tone definition of your instrument. You will also take
notice of the clean channels rear PRESENCE control which adds acoustic voicing to your
instrument. This control boosts only the guitars very highest harmonics which are in the
10k Hz range instead of the normal 3K Hz of a bright switch.
TONE CONTROLS
The T-Bridge passive BASS, MID and TREBLE tone controls offer a wide range of tone set-
tings. Take full advantage by setting them where they sound best. Your sound may not be at
center (5 on the dial). Instead, the treble and bass may need to be at 10 while the mid con-
trol at 0 (or) the treble at 1 and the bass at 10 depending dual or single coil pickups. These
controls will not affect or color your sound when set at extreme settings, nor do they interact
with each other. The greater range of these controls comes from the high impedance 1 meg
sealed pots (most guitar amps use 250k pots). The frequency of the bass control is set at 80
Hz while the mid control is set at 650 Hz. The treble control is set at a very high 11k Hz giving
the VINTAGE TUBE SERIES it’s dynamic highs.
REVERB
The FS22 footswith for the long tailed REVERB system in the VINTAGE TUBE SERIES switches
only the reverb “send” leaving the tail of the reverb to decay naturally, the way it’s done in
the studio. A special pre filter eliminates the spring “boing” normally heard in other sys-
tems giving it a “lush” sound. The all tube reverb system offers vibrant clarity with full depth
reminiscent of the sixties tube amps. Guitar Player magazine rated this system as one of
the best they have heard. The Vintage 16™ does not have the footswitch option.
RECEIVING INSPECTION—read before getting started
INSPECT YOUR AMP FOR ANY DAMAGE which may have occurred during shipping. If any
damage is found, please notify the shipping company and CARVIN immediately.
SAVE THE CARTON & ALL PACKING MATERIALS. In the event you have to re-ship your unit,
always use the original carton and packing material. This will provide the best possible protec-
tion during shipment. CARVIN and the shipping company are not liable for any damage caused
by improper packing.
SAVE YOUR INVOICE. It will be required for warranty service if needed in the future.
SHIPMENT SHORTAGE. If you find items missing, they may have been shipped separately.
Please allow several days for the rest of your order to arrive before inquiring.
RECORD THE SERIAL NUMBER on the enclosed warranty card or below on this manual
for your records. Keep your portion of the card and return the portion with your name and
comments to us.
GETTING STARTED QUICKLY
If you are like most players, you probably want to plug in your new amp and get started play-
ing it right away. You can read the rest of the manual later to learn the finer points of operat-
ing your amp. In order to get started you will need your VINTAGE TUBE SERIES amp, a 120
or 230 AC grounded power outlet, your instrument and a standard guitar cord. With the amp
turned off, you may now plug it into the proper AC voltage.
Now turn all the volume and drive controls off and set tone controls at their mid center posi-
tion. If you have purchased the FS22 foot switch, plug it into the rear foot switch jack for switch-
ing the channels and reverb. Note: The channel SELECT switch must be selected for channel
1 for the FS22 to function (a hum will be heard if it’s in the wrong position).
Now, turn the power switch and allow a few minuts for the tubes to warm up then turn on
the standby switch. Gradually raise the volume controls and re-adjust the tone controls and
your ready to go. Please call if you feel your amp is malfunctioning. Occasionally tubes are
damaged in shipping.

FRONT PANEL
1. GUITAR INPUT
A standard 1/4” input jack feeds both channels through using the SELECT channel switch. Use a
professional quality guitar cord no longer than 25 feet. Typical cable capacitance should be under
50pf—the longer the cord, the greater the capacitance (you can measure this with a capacitance meter).
A long cable with high capacitance will reduce the overall treble response from your pickups.
2. CHANNEL SELECT
Set the channel SELECT switch to the desired channel. Channel 1 is designed for clean playing
while channel 2 is designed for overdrive/sustain. For the FS22 foot switch to function, set the chan-
nel 2 SELECT switch to the channel 1 position.
CLEAN CHANNEL 1
3. CLEAN VOLUME 1
Use channel 1 for clean playing. Thanks to special mud-cutting circuits that work between the fre-
quencies of 500 and 700 Hz, your guitar tones will be full and vibrant.
4. CLEAN—BASS, MID & TREBLE CONTROLS
You can start at 5 on the dial for each of the tone controls. However, these settings do not repre-
sent a normalize (flat) sound. You need to set them where they sound best! Most musicians like
to reduce the MID’S between 1 and 4 for deeper bass and crisper highs. If your sound is too bright
with single coil pickups, you may want to keep the rear PRESENCE control off.
LEAD CHANNEL 2
5. SOAK—6. LEAD VOLUME 2
To get the Vintage overdrive, keep the VOLUME 2 (VOLUME for Vintage 16™) down until you have
determined your final gain level—think of this control as a master volume. Turn the SOAK control
up until you get the amount of overdrive you’re looking for. The setting will vary for the same amount
of overdrive depending on the pickups used—single or dual coil and the setting of your guitar. The
Vintage 16™ low wattage allows you to turn up both controls to get different distortions.
7. LEAD—BASS, MID & TREBLE
To start off with, set the BASS, MID & TREBLE controls at their center (5) position. These controls
are to be set according to the type of pickups used (dual or single coil). It’s normal to decrease the
BASS at higher playing levels.
MASTER SECTION
8. MASTER REVERB
Set the REVERB control for the desired amount (this works in both channels).
9. POWER INDICATOR LIGHT
As the amp is turned on, the red pilot light will illuminate.
REAR PANEL
10. AC POWER & FUSE
The detachable AC POWER CORD supplied is designed to operate with one type of voltage (the
European 230V export model uses a CEE-7 plug cord set). Check the rear power cord label for the
proper voltage and fuse value. Make sure the cord is securely inserted into the back of the unit. Plug
the cord into a grounded “3 prong” power source. No attempt should ever be made to defeat or use
the amp without the ground connected.
The FUSE (some models have circuit breakers) is located within the AC power cord receptacle. To
check or replace the fuse, remove the power cord, place a screwdriver under the “FUSE” cap and
pull the fuse holder out. The fuse type is a 250V Slow Blow SB 5 x 20mm rated at 3A for 120V &
1.5A for 230V models. Do not use fast acting fuse, only a SLOW BLOW (SB) type fuse will work.
The Vintage 16™ uses 1A slow blow for both 120 VAC and 250 VAC models.
11. POWER SWITCH
The rear POWER SWITCH is to be utilized as the master ON/OFF switch. The front panel light will
illuminate when the amp is switched on. (The power switch is on the front of the Vintage 16™.)
12. STANDBY SWITCH
Use the rear STANDBY SWITCH If you are taking a break. This turns the high voltage off, increas-
ing the life of your power tubes while keeping the power and preamp tube filaments on for imme-
diate use.
13. ACOUSTIC PRESENCE
The rear ACOUSTIC PRESENCE control adds a sibilance to the high frequencies of your guitar. Most
presence controls work in the 3k to 4k range. However, the VINTAGE TUBE’s presence starts at a
very high 8k Hz delivering 10 dB at 12k Hz and continues to 20k Hz which extends all the upper har-
monics of your guitar. The amount of sibilance will depend on the speakers used. To keep both
channels totally independent, the ACOUSTIC PRESENCE is switched by relay only into clean chan-
nel 1. The effect of the ACOUSTIC PRESENCE will seem ever so slight, however, the result is added
sibilance only to the ultra-high frequencies.

14. EFFECTS LOOP
For the lowest possible noise from an effects processor, use the effects loop instead of plugging
the guitar into the effects and then into the amp. To use the EFFECTS LOOP, plug the INPUT of your
effects into the SEND jack and the OUTPUT of your effects into the RETURN jack. Use shielded cables,
not speaker cables. It’s normal to have a slight gain reduction of several dB with some effects units.
However, the amp has plenty of gain to overcome any loss.
15. FS22 FOOTSWITCH
Most foot pedals with 2 switches, a stereo cord and plug will work. However, Carvin’s FS22 is rec-
ommended because of the correct identification label on the foot switch. First, the channel SELECT
switch on the front panel must be selected to channel 1 before the footswitch will work. Now that you
are connected correctly, the channels and reverb can be switched remotely. If a hum is heard in the
speakers, the select switch is in the wrong position.
16. VOICED LINE OUT
The LINE OUT 1/4” jack is “CABINET VOICED” to prevent excessive bass or highs going to your
mixer. This greatly aids in sound quality because you do not have to move your mixer EQ setting to
the extreme. The 1.5 VAC output (reference to 100 watts output at 8 ohms) is more than adequate
to drive any professional mixer or power amp.
17. SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SWITCH
The IMPEDANCE SWITCH offers the selection of 4, 8 or 16Ωto match your speaker system. Set
the rear impedance switch to the following impedance: 8Ωfor Nomad, 8Ωfor the Bel Air™ combo
and 8Ωfor the 410 cabinet. In the case of adding another extension cabinet, set the impedance switch
to 4Ω..
18. SPEAKER JACKS
Two 1/4” SPEAKER JACKS are featured to operate several speaker systems at the same time. Move
the IMPEDANCE SWITCH to the correct setting. (Vintage 16™ has one 1/4” 8Ωjack for the internal
Celestion speaker.)
19. POWER MODE (Vintage 16™ only)
Shut the amp OFF before switching between the pentode 16w and the triode 5w mode.
HELP SECTION
a) FEEDBACK FROM THE LEAD CHANNEL
The VINTAGE TUBE SERIES will feedback when the LEAD volume, DRIVE, TREBLE and PRESENCE
are turned all the way up. Like other highly modified tube amps, this is normal. To help reduce feed-
back and noise, keep the DRIVE control set around 5 to 7 on the dial. Some of the best lead satu-
ration will be at around 5—not 10. Sometimes replacing V1 (12AX7A) can help reduce feedback.
b) TUBE REPLACEMENT GUIDE
It is not uncommon for tubes to malfunction during shipping. If your amp is not working properly,
please call or refer to the following replacement guide to replace tubes.
1) The 12AX7A preamp tubes are located in the following order on your chassis: V1, V2, V3, V4, V5.
To start with, V1 is located next to the outside of your chassis behind the output transformer. It
is recommended to turn your amp upside down to replace tubes. Replacing V1 will help reduce
feedback in channel 1. Replacing V2 and V3 can also help but V1 is the main tube to replace.
Replacing V4 will correct problems with the reverb system unless there is a defective reverb tank
or tank cables. If the power amp is not functioning, check or replace the EL84 power tubes and
check V5 by inserting a signal into the Effects RETURN jack. All tubes are keyed in the same
direction. In the Vintage 16™ V1 is the input tube, V2 is the Reverb tube, and V3 is the power tube.
2) The EL84 power tubes are located in the following order on your chassis: V6, V7, V8, V9. Normally
you’ll want to replace these tubes as a set. Please call for our latest prices. Sometimes you can
spot defective power tubes when they are glowing red-hot along with an audible hum in the speaker
when the amp is idling. If this happens, shut the amp down immediately. After they have cooled
down, push the hold-down clamp over the top of the tube and pull out to remove. It is recom-
mended to turn your amp upside down to replace tubes. All tubes are keyed in the same direc-
tion. Running defective power tubes could damage the amp. It is recommended that you have
a spare set of power tubes along with several 12AX7A preamp tubes.
