Raleigh

Three watts, three knobs, two personalities. The Raleigh is a stylish and versatile practice and recording amp.

  • 1-10 compact combo with Eminence Lil' buddy hemp cone 10" speaker
  • 2 12AX7s, 1 EL-84 tube compliment

  • 3 watts output
  • Ideal for home and studio
  • Glassy 60s blackface tones to juicy, sustained overdrive

The Raleigh is a versatile practice/studio amp designed to deliver both pristine clean and heavily overdriven tones at usable volumes. The Raleigh's styling pays homage to the funky practice amps of the late 50s and early 60s.

Viceroy

Formerly known as The Vincent. The Viceroy is the same as the Vincent in all respects; only the name has changed. The 33/7 watt Viceroy is our newest dual 6L6, classically American amplifier designed to deliver a full range of clean and overdriven sounds for home, stage, and studio.

  • Class A
  • Dual 6L6 output tubes
  • Two power levels: 33 or 7 watts
  • Unique variable drive control
  • Footswitchable fixed boost (lighted footswitch included)
  • Tube reverb
  • 100% hand wired
  • Solid pine dovetailed cabinet built in-house
  • Eminence Wizard speakers
  • New Now available as a 1x15 combo

The 6L6 Viceroy is biased deeply into Class A, yielding a pushed, ready-to-jump feel. The vibe from The Viceroy is explosive and forward-tilting. It distorts very well in a large curd Tweedish way when cranked. The clean tone is gorgeous and dimensional. The 1x12 is wonderfully compact.

Features include reverb, two power levels (33 or 7 watts), variable drive control (internal clean boost which gives the amp more push and OD when the amp is turned up - you can hear more of the winding on strings and dynamic, super twang), lastly a footswitchable fixed boost (partial tone stack bypass), which greatly increases midrange punch and yields a wonderful grind - the volume increase is just right for a solo or if the amp is really overdriving it thickens and adds sustain (lighted footswitch included).
Controls include volume, treble, mid (with panel on/off for boost), bass, reverb, drive, and power level.

Rambler

With its high headroom, the 28/14 watt, dual 6L6 Rambler delivers rich, clean tones at levels suitable for home, clubs, and studios.

  • Class A cathode bias 6L6 output stage
  • Zero feedback
  • Single channel with reverb and tremolo
  • Pentode-Triode power switch
  • 28 watts pentode
  • 14 watts triode
  • Compact size
  • New Now available as a head

Long before the birth of Carr Amplifiers, I spent years playing, repairing, modifying and intently listening to classic guitar amps. The Rambler was one of my earliest signature designs, and today it is still one of our most popular models. Why? It's no accident that the Rambler succeeds in delivering classic American 'deluxe' tone with dramatically expanded clean headroom, solid bass response and the option of 28 watt pentode or 14 watt triode operation. The Rambler simply reflects my desire to improve and refine the original concept of an appropriately powered 1x12 club amp with reverb and tremolo. Rambler owners describe their amps as being warm, full and round, with a surprisingly high threshold of clean tone, (which also makes the Rambler uniquely suited to virtually any overdrive pedal ever built). The Rambler is considered by many to be the quintessential club amp, voiced to meet the needs of virtually any player, and all types of music.

Slant 6v

With four 6V6 power tubes, full/half power modes, and two footswitchable channels - clean and overdrive, the 40 watt Slant 6V is our most versatile stage amp. Updated for Summer NAMM 2008, the Slant 6V now features reverb controls in both channels, channel switching and boost on/off on the included two-button footswitch, and circuit tweaks (including removal of the effects loop) for clearer, more open tone. Begining with serial #522. Specs for pre serial #522 Slant 6Vs.

  • Two independent foot-switchable channels
  • Channel one: classic clean to blues grit
  • Channel two: sixties crunch to screaming sustain
  • Boost switch for extra gain in channel two
  • Reverb controls in both channels
  • Two-button footswitch for channel switching and boost included
  • Three power modes: Full (40 watts), Half fixed bias (22 watts), and Half cathode bias (18watts)
  • 5AR4 tube rectifier
  • 4 6V6 output tubes
  • Selectable output impedance
  • Extra speaker output jack

The 40 watt Slant 6V offers an impressive range of legendary American and British tones, and unprecedented versatility and usable power without sacrificing the warmth, clarity and handbuilt, all-tube tone that are the hallmark of our amplifiers. At the heart of the Slant 6V are two independent, foot-switchable channels: Channel One bridges our shimmering clean tone with gutbucket, overdriven blues, while the dual gain settings on Channel Two offer pure tube crunch, soaring sustain and fluid dynamic response.

The Slant 6V can be operated at half-power in cathode bias (18W) or fixed bias mode (22W), yielding tones reminiscent of early tweed and AC-style combos in cathode mode, and a punchier, more tightly defined sound in fixed bias mode. And at full power, the Slant 6V runs four 6V6 output tubes split in cathode and fixed bias pairs, placing every conceivable classic tube tone at your fingertips.

Mercury

With selectable power from 8 watts down to 1/10th of a watt, the single EL34 powered Mercury is ideal for apartments, studios, and intimate performance venues.

  • Class A
  • Single-ended fixed bias EL-34 output stage
  • Single channel: bass, treble, reverb
  • 3-position boost switch
  • Treble cut switch
  • Built in 4 position attenuator (8, 2, 1/2, 1/10 watt)
  • Mercury 1x12 combo, or
  • New! Mini-Merc 1x10 combo

The Mercury inspires visions of a classic cabinet design from a time long ago, but within the chassis of the Mercury you'll discover an inspiring and truly innovative circuit (along with utterly remarkable tone). While it is true that your friends, band mates and family members will admire the Mercury for its good looks and 'polite' power rating, Mercury owners seem to cherish our newest amp for many other practical reasons. Our exclusive power attenuating circuit enables the Mercury to be played at 8, 2, 1/2 and only 1/10 watts, with no appreciable change in tone, yet the Mercury easily yields enough clean headroom for club work. Add our renowned reverb circuit, a 3-position boost switch for subtle-to-intense output tube distortion, plus the incomparably thick and rich tone of a single EL-34 power tube, and the Mercury will earn its rightful place among your most treasured instruments.

Our new Mini-Mercury has the same electronics as the standard 1x12" Mercury but differs in its smaller cabinet and its warm and smoky 10 inch Eminence Lil Buddy hemp cone speaker. The cabinet measures a friendly 19.5" wide by 15" tall by 10" deep at the bottom sloping to 9" deep on the top. This is 2 inches shorter and 1 3/4 inches narrower than the standard 1x12" Mercury making it very compact.
