Product information

Classic American amp tones, built for the way players actually use an amp today.

Carr has built their reputation on taking classic vintage amp designs and augmenting them with their own ingenuity and dedication to quality, without ever losing the soul of the original.

Steve Carr and his small team in Pittsboro, North Carolina aren't chasing reissues. They're studying what made the great old circuits feel the way they do, then thoughtfully refining them with the kind of touches working players actually want.

The Fender Bassman is a perfect example. Carr captures the vibe of those vintage circuits in the Impala - the bloom, the touch sensitivity, the way the amp opens up under your hands - and adds a wonderful all-tube reverb and a master volume to the mix.

The result is an incredibly versatile amp. The master lets you find thick, saturated tones at lower volumes, which means you're no longer choosing between great tone and a workable stage or living-room level. Combined with the reverb and the amp's natural dynamics, the combinations are essentially endless: clean and dimensional with the master up, gritty and singing with it pulled back, and everything in between.

Carr captures the vibe of the Bassman, but also adds a wonderful all-tube reverb and a Master volume to the mix. The result is an incredibly versatile amp, with the Master allowing a great, thick tones at lower volumes, and endless combinations!
