The Super Bee captures that legendary Fullerton-made blackpanel 4x10" Super Reverb sound in an inspiring new model sized and powered to suit the true needs of today’s venues.

Why We Love This

The Super Bee captures the essence of the legendary Fullerton-made blackpanel 4x10" Super Reverb, but in a compact, player-friendly design built for today’s stages. No channel switching, no frills—just that iconic blackpanel-inspired tone, dialed in for modern usability and real-world volume control.

Whether you’re after scooped chime, edge-of-breakup twang, or full-on stinging roar, the Super Bee delivers it all. At only 10 watts, powered by current-production 6BM8 output tubes, it nails the bold, articulate sound of classic 6L6GC circuits—but at volumes that won’t send your sound engineer running for cover. The Super Bee excels at being pushed into sweet, output-tube-driven overdrive and lush harmonic saturation, all while staying friendly to smaller venues.

One of the most exciting features is its built-in attenuator, which lets you scale the power down from 10 watts to 2 watts and even down to a whisper—perfect for late-night jams or intimate sessions. Add Carr’s renowned tube-driven spring reverb, an EZ81 tube rectifier for that lively, bouncy feel, and top-tier, point-to-point construction with premium components, and you’ve got a compact amp that’s ready to steal the show.

But the Super Bee goes even further with its Sting switch, giving you three classic voicings:

64 – Scooped, shimmering blackface cleans for that classic crystalline sound.
68 – Pushed blackpanel tones with bite, delivering meaty twang and punchy crunch.
72 – More gain, fuller mids, and a reconfigured EQ for rich, juicy leads.
