The results included everything from pushed ’60s cleans, to chunky ’70s rock, right into’80s and ’90s crunch and singing leads, and even scorching high-gain sizzle. The internally paired High and Low channels can be run in parallel like a jumpered four-hole classic, or switched to cascade in series, taking the gain levels off the charts and into the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn onboard attenuator—Carr’s forte—can be switched in to take the firepower anywhere from 4 watts down to a mere whisper, and there’s a post-power amp Line Out to send it to the PA or into your recording interface for tracking. Add lush tube-returned spring reverb, and there’s a wealth of multi-dimensional tone packed into this remarkably compact combo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt’s all put together with the top-quality parts and construction that Carr is famous for, including in-house crafted dovetailed solid North Carolina yellow pine cabinets, military and NASA-grade power supply components, and trenchant mid-Century signal elements rendered in true point-to-point wiring.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"display: block;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction: Hand wired point-to-point in the USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComponents: Custom USA made transformers, Solen Fast Cap Film Power Supply, US-made Jupiter signal capacitors, carbon comp resistors, and more\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower: 16 watts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChannels: One (with two blendable Volume controls)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTubes: four 12AX7, two 6V6GT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls: High and Low Volume, three-way Boost, Reverb, Treble, Mid, Bass, Attenuator, Line Out\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitches: Parallel\/Series switch, three-position Boost, Attenuator in\/out, on\/off\/standby\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures: All-tube spring reverb, Boost switch, built-in attenuator, 8-Ohm speaker out, line out\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCabinet: Hand-crafted from solid pine, dovetail-jointed and uniquely styled\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeakers: Celestion Creamback M65 12\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight \u0026amp; Dimensions: 1x12\" combo 21\" (W) x 17\" (H) x 9\" (D at top, 10\" at bottom), 40 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Carr Amps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43914528456919,"sku":"210000003689","price":3490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0468\/6148\/4199\/files\/P-883.jpg?v=1689975678","url":"https:\/\/rudysmusic.mom\/products\/mercury-v-cocoa-cream-1x12-16w-6v6","provider":"Rudy's Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
