Choptones Carved Vai

VL100 signature Amp, TH-U expansion library with 46 Rigs.

Carved Vai is the TH-U expansion library, created by Choptones, seeking to recreate the sound of a Carvin Legacy VL100* (Steve Vai* signature) head in the 6L6 voiced version.

After being a long time Carvin endorser since the 80s with the X100B amp, Steve Vai came out in the '99 with his amazing signature Amp: the Carvin Legacy VL100. The 100W VL100 head delivers 100 watts in a dual-channel, all tube package with volume, bass, mid, treble & presence for each channel and master reverb.
Great for sparkling cleans and soloing, this amp has a big a fat tone for rock and metal tones as well.
