ELECTRIC SS AMPLIFIERS: SX SERIES

The SX Series was introduced in 1987 and were noted for being compact studio amplifiers driven by a MOSFET solid-state power section. The first three models were the SX60, SX100, and SX200 and they featured two channels with independent EQ sections. The old wavy Carvin logo was used on these amplifiers for 1987 only, and the new block-style Carvin logo was introduced in 1988. In 1989, the black vinyl covering was changed to a dark gray carpet covering, and BR "British" speakers were introduced. In 1992, a black metal grille replaced the black cloth grille and the logo moved to the center bottom of the amp. In mid-1997, the second series of the SX Series was introduced that featured four digital effects and Carvin's Tube Technology. The second series is also distinguishable by their brown Lavant vinyl covering and black metal grille. In 2002, the third and current series of the SX Series was introduced that featured digital effects and tube emulation. Carvin offers the SX Series as a half-stack and a full-stack. The SX3412 half-stack retails for $1,390 and sells new for $600, and the SX3812 full-stack retails for $1,995 and sells new for $900.
