Carved Third is the TH-U expansion library created by Choptones that recreates the sound of a Carvin V3* 100 W 6L6 head.
The Carvin V3 is considered an affordable version of a three channel Dual Rectifier, but it stands alone as a great amp with a great personality. Even though this amp is clearly Metal oriented, in this TH-U capture Choptones captured every different shade of tone from this amplifier.
The Carved Third library contains 127 rigs, captured using the following gear*:
