Bought a Carr "Rambler" a year ago, & it is one AWESOME amp, if you're looking for a Class "A" amp. No amp "modeling", thank God! Mr. Carr said he crossed a Fender Concert with a Deluxe rverb circuit and added a Gibson temolo circuit. He said getting the Gibson circuit to work with the Fender circuit was the hardest part of designing the amp.

Agreed. I just picked up a Carr Skylark and love it. Amazing quality, killer sound.

If you make to Pittsboro, NC to visit Carr Amps, look me up. I live 20 miles from there. Your Dad and I have been great friends for 50 years. Would love to buy you dinner. P.S. Your guitar playing is amazing!

Agreed. I have a Mercury V for blackface & British tones a Super Bee w/10” speaker for Fender tones & a Slant6V when more power for clean tones.

I bought my Carr Rambler new in 2018. It gets used every day and I'm still in the honeymoon phase. I haven't even looked at another amp since. It's also usable at home with a boost pedal and a compressor to give the front end a bit of a push without ridiculously loud volume settings.

Have a Telstar. Also a great gigging amp. Carr makes amps that your wife will allow to be in a living room 😉

Pretty much any hand wired amp is underrated compared to modern stuff.

@hunterStasser how would you say the Mercury takes pedals, specifically reverb and delay on the front of the amp. Looking for a small office amp and used to having an FX loop for time based stuff. Love Carrs and Tone Kings with the attenuation but never just plugged in the front.
@hunterstrasser8 ай бұрын
I think they handle things really nicely! Like any amp, if you start cranking the master, even when attenuated, it will start to do some interesting things with delay and reverb, but I think if you are going for that much drive you probably shouldn't have a ton of effects on anyways haha.

Thank you sir. Deciding between the Mercury, Skylark and Super Bee for home jamming. Also considering a TK Gremlin (but want reverb) so probably a TK Falcon Grande is a better alternative if I don’t go Carr.

I wouldn't say they are underrated, in my experience they are highly regarded. I personally don't own them because they are point to point wired which are harder to diagnose and repair at home, also slightly more dangerous to work on.
