Product information

Everything you love about the Skylark - elevated.

The Carr Skylark has long been revered as one of the finest low-wattage amplifiers on the market - a masterclass in touch sensitivity, organic overdrive, and classic Fullerton-inspired cleans. Designed to deliver the magic of a cranked mid-’60s American combo at recording and home-friendly volumes, the Skylark has become a go-to for players seeking an expressive, dynamic 6V6 platform with built-in power scaling and lush onboard reverb.

Now, Carr takes the Skylark to new heights with the Skylark Special - an inspired evolution that expands its tonal palette while preserving everything that made the original so beloved.

What’s New in the Skylark Special?

--A New Voice – American Meets British
For the first time, the Skylark’s Fullerton-inspired tone section is joined by the H73 British preamp from Carr’s award-winning Bel-Ray amplifier. A flick of a switch allows you to move effortlessly between sparkling, vintage-voiced American cleans and a rich, harmonically complex British drive section.

--EZ81 Vacuum Tube Rectifier
Replacing the Skylark’s solid-state rectifier, the EZ81 tube rectifier brings a more vintage-correct dynamic response, delivering the natural, sagging compression that players love in classic tube amps.

--Refined Reverb Circuit
The Skylark Special’s extended-range reverb control provides even greater depth and flexibility, from subtle ambience to full, shimmering decay.

--A Lighter, More Refined Cabinet
A newly designed premium-ply cabinet sheds a little weight while featuring a fresh updated front façade and a new grill cloth design for a sharper, more modern aesthetic.

--7 More US-Made Jupiter Signal Caps
Carr’s commitment to the finest components continues, with an additional seven U.S.-made Jupiter signal capacitors carefully integrated to enhance the amp’s harmonic depth and articulation.

--Revoiced Boost Switch
The Skylark Special’s Boost switch has been fine-tuned for greater focus and responsiveness, giving you even more control over how the amp pushes into natural overdrive.

With these refinements, the Skylark Special stands alongside the Skylark as a premier choice for 6V6 aficionados, offering a truly unique blend of classic American cleans, vintage tube compression, and a switchable dose of British-inspired drive. Whether you’re chasing soulful cleans, edge-of-breakup dynamics, or searing lead tones, the Skylark Special delivers in a way that only Carr can.
