Carr amps Mercury V

This thing is killer ... amazing tones. .and tons of them

[@bobboitt3126]

Bought the Mercury V and am loving this amp! Tone to die for with an attenuator that doesnt affect your sound! Plain Amazing amp with reverb . Its a hot Marshall with clean tones to die for.

[@gordonroylambert]

I am a recent Mercury V owner...omg it’s so versatile. Told my wife it’s the last amp I will ever need....lol

[@nigeldaddyo]

It’s been a year. Do you still have it?

[@qntw2000]

Liar! Haha

[@wfrobinette]

You lied didn’t you?

[@gordonroylambert]

still have the Mercury V and….I did build an amp..the Champ kit from Stew Mac but thats it!

[@borisgrgic842]

My new favorite amp ! Its sound great at any settings ! Mr.Carr is best amps builder on the planet !

[@dugiebrother]

Boris Grgić ysaid

[@joekruger8033]

I’ve had this amp for about 2 years, which is the longest period of time I’ve ever kept an amp!!!lol. It does have a wide range of great tones and using your hands and controls on the guitar can be a Swiss Army knife.

[@CesarRomeroTheOriginal]

I love that you have a hype man. Great demo!!

[@diceman220]

Great tone. Downright awesome. Nice playing too.

[@ShawnTubbs]

That's a great sounding amp man! Thanks Lance!

[@mikeaustin4138]

The reason it has bottom end with the attenuator is that the power tubes are at 7. The more the power tubes are working, the more bass in the sound. It requires more power to generate the lower frequencies and that comes from the power tubes, which are cranked.

[@livingabovethe12th]

my fave carr so far by FAR

[@MrPrincebass99]

Man, I love your demos. This Carr amp sounds great.

[@phillipalexander5389]

Mr. Carr you make the best amp I ever heard. Lots of power lots of options and lots of tone. 🎸🎛🔈

[@Hmmm4688]

i just bought the rambler, know i can't go back and play anything else. such a true organic tone. i love it and built like a tank

[@Jondohmusic]

This demo convinced me to pull the trigger on the Mercury V. Now I just need to wait 8 months for it to get built 😅

[@redneckaxeman1254]

Amazing tone!

[@bluzzedude8111]

Christ I remember when these were in the back pages of guitar mags..an amazing tone !

[@charliewesley94]

Yeah... I'm going to have to buy this amp. Great demo!

[@sassulusmagnus]

One great sounding amp.

[@ijamsum]

That's one gainy amp if needed , but the blues tones are killer I can tell by the bends he does so well ! I have every great vintage 12ax7 tubes to get some dynamite sounds if it was mine ! The tungsram 12ax7 never has a bad note ever, driven dirty its silky highs sing and lows notes are great too but no fuzzy crunch but solid rock overdrive ! Wish I could afford one !

[@ijamsum]

I forgot that great reverb , awesome !

[@cliffdykes1171]

Lance you sure make these amps sound good!!

[@LocoDirewolf]

That amp is incredible!

[@carlob95]

Wow! What a nice amp that is! My dream amp!

[@bpy4073]

A twin channel version of this amp would be sublime.

[@cuttheblues6115]

Hi Lance, really nice demo of the Mercury V! Up to now I'm minding to sell every amp I've got (Silverface Twin, Classic 30 and Bandit) and get this awesome beast...one to rule 'em all. I would ask few things; do you use a delay in the demo? and eventually what kind? and how react the Mercury with a delay in front in the higher gain setting? the same question for the spring reverb. Thank you so much! :D

[@glencruciani]

I wish the Series /Parallel and Gain switches could be foot switchable. I would buy this thing in a heartbeat. I need the flexibility of accessing these different tones mid song.

[@1willywonker]

Sounds like a nice amp

[@MrDavemiley]

WOW ! That amp sounds killer at all setting !

[@backspin6698]

Sounds fantastic. Well, time to start saving🙄

[@Rebellovw]

Sounds great - I'm hoping there were no pedals used in the demo - is that true?

[@theabsolutetruth3364]

I LOVE THIS AMP ... Like the marshal 45 plus ... And these great amps ... Like carol ann amps ... and kelley amps surh last but not least ... the mighty kingsley amps ... i also like the Avatar Amps ... )))

[@davidcrane7603]

It would be nice if it also had a tremolo feature. Wonder if he can add it. Great amp, though.

[@mikestillwagon5675]

You're killin' me.

[@jessebfly]

Steve Carr is a wizard

[@1willywonker]

That does sound impressive

[@1willywonker]

Must say i did like this video Do you have any more like this Could you do a demo of a Fender Blues junior with and without Pedals That be great

[@funkyfurballs1078]

Great sounding, multi-voiced amp... but I'm now considering the 3rdPower Clean or Dirty Sink for less money.

[@sohar1460]

its a monster !!

[@hawg427]

Sounds great but I still wish it was under 2K

[@satinwhip]

Seems like an incredibly versatile studio amp with amazing tones but also seems like it would be tough to access all that flexibility on the fly. Another excellent demo by Lance.

[@stringlocker]

I wish it was under 1K. Let me dream.

[@rickflippin1]

Dammit Lance is that some freakin whiskey laden barbecue sauce dripping down and dirty what happens in toneland stays in toneland kinda sounds dancing round here. Freakin sweet your killing my bank account.

[@LanceKeltnerMusic]

Thanks!

[@markhopkins2731]

Lance - is that thing loud enough to gig in a bar setting with a trio - without mic'ing the amp?

[@LanceKeltnerMusic]

Yes it is a loud little beast when turned up

[@mmatthewias280]

Talk about versatility! Wow! I’m not easily impressed and usually pretty critical of these kinds of videos!

[@silvermica]

I need this amp!

[@miguelferrariart]

Key-ol!!!!

[@CNCTEMATIC]

2 6V6s is 22W, no? Does it only have 1?

[@AndreAmeli]

65 amps empire do the same thing, sounds britsh but use 6v6

[@johnweller]

Are you using a delay pedal for this demo?

[@1willywonker]

Sounds better with the Tele Be great Country and Rock

[@garysayers9476]

What delay is that and is it through the front?

[@craiglizt8074]

I want!

[@mammmmmoth]

I want one

[@AmoreMusicale]

What is the largest sounding cab you have ever played through?

[@LanceKeltnerMusic]

Mine.. A Metropoulos 4-12 with Celestion Alnico Creams.

[@AmoreMusicale]

Awesome! What about the largest sounding 1x12 you have played through?

[@JamesHunterRoss]

I want Carr to make their version of a Fender Princeton Reverb; quality build, 12" speaker, reverb, tremolo, AND an attenuator.

[@karabinerstudios]

That would be the Sportsman minus the tremolo and attenuators.

[@livingabovethe12th]

where can you buy those vechenko (sp?) les Paul's?

[@livingabovethe12th]

oopsie nevermind...more $$ than most lps anyway.

[@LanceKeltnerMusic]

Yes.. get in touch with me about it.

[@LanceKeltnerMusic]

Its 3Kish

[@flatsix666]

That sounds fantastic however the UK pound against the US dollar makes this one heck of an expensive combo. Shame!

[@livingabovethe12th]

Kossofffan yeah you guys get really beat up on the price when they don't change the number and they just put the pound sign in front of it I noticed that happens a lot

[@flatsix666]

U.S. List price $2530, UK price £2499, todays rate £1 = $1.25 means it's $3128.98 for us!

[@AmoreMusicale]

1x12 wise

[@1willywonker]

Did Joe Walsh have a brother

[@FabrizioPeretti]

how much does it cost??

[@livingabovethe12th]

fabrizio peretti unfortunately street price is $2700. i used humbucker music as a baseline as they are a big carr dealer. I really do want these handmade Boutique guys to make their money but for myself, an average paid user, all of their amps are $1,000 too much right across the whole range.

[@FabrizioPeretti]

livingabovethe12th wow... that' s A LOT.

[@taterlysaladman9377]

If you wanna dance you gotta pay the piper. These are top end boutique with amazing electronics packed into a small easy to carry package. If you want the best you are going to pay the highest price. Mesa Mark JP or Fender 57 custom Pro-AMP are $2500 and they are not true boutique.

[@duanewilson3941]

the problem with the carrs they are way over priced and they don't even have an effects send/return on most of them. the mesa triple crown is a way better buy for less money and way more features. I'd also throw in the mark 5 25/35's just to name a couple. The Kingsleys are excellent as well. We are in the golden age of boutique amplifiers and I just can't see paying this kind of money when there are better amps out there with more features. All that said, this amp sounds wonderful no doubt.

[@stringlocker]

I spent a long time buying cheap amps because I am cheap. Save your money and get one of these.
