The Carvin has arrived and it's DOA. On Arrival, not Or Alive.

On Off switch is broke, won't turn on. Head shell is broke in one corner, I think that's what took out the switch. The box it came in is perfect. Maybe somebody took a sledgehammer to it, mummified it in bubble wrap, and sent it out.
 
Used from GC. I called last night, they took my name, and number. They haven't called back yet. Told the guy, what I want more than anything is more time. You have 30 days to return.
 
Only worked half day today. Opened it up, soldered a wire across the lugs of the power switch. It worked till I flipped the rhythm lead switch then, no lights, no sound.

I'd return it at this point if I were you.

I wouldn't mess with it. They could claim it was your fault it's dead.

Still haven't herd from GC. Time to call them back. Depending on the weather, probably make a trip to the Joliet GC Saturday. Took some pics. First is from GC's website, before it was sold.
 
Am I the only one that wonders if the amp pictured on GC's page and the amp received are even the same amp? Something seems... Off between the pictures... But I can't put my finger on it.
 
Got to the GC in Joliet. Returned the Carvin, and an MXR ten band EQ pedal son said was too hissy.

I guess I'm not done shopping for my Christmas gift.
 
Yes, they did fine. disappointed about the amp, maybe someday, I'll find another, Carvin x100b for $200.

I'm not even in the suburbs, Joliet is just the closest GC to me. I live in Kempton, a tiny town of 225 people, between Kankakee, and Pontiac. basically, the middle of nowhere.
 
Rolling the dice again.

When I brought the Carvin back, it was no problem getting my money back, but what I really wanted was to keep the amp, and have them fix it. They said if I had bought the pro coverage, they could of done that, so I spent an extra 15 bucks on this.
