Tony, It's not a stereo unit, but I've had major luck with the Carvin three channel "green monster". It's 100 watts with two separate effects loops, XLR and 1/4" jacks-12"speaker and horn. Weighs about 40 lbs total and costs about $429.00. I put major mileage on the two I have. One is an older model (no efffects-black carpet cover) which I used for 10 years 4 nights a week outside in the heat, rain, etc. Still works perfectly.Have two 12" PA cabinets which match, so i use one of them as an extension cab, sometimes.

I have a matching green cabinet for the 2nd one. I use channel 1 for guitar, channel 2 for keyboard and channel 3 for vocal mike.

I have used them separately for bass amplification...particularly good with an upright with piezo.

Never had a problem with a lack of stereo, but I never use Yamaha keyboards, and I'm told that there is where the stereo problem is.


Check these little guys out on the Carvin site. I've been using Carvin equipment since I found them in Covina, California in the early 60's.

They're compact, loud and durable as hell. It's an "all in one" as opposed to a keyboard amp.

Works for me!
