Carr Amplifiers Introduces Skylark Combo Guitar Amp
Carr Amplifiers has introduced the Skylark 1-12-inch Combo guitar amp.
From the company:
The Skylark idea began with our love and appreciation for classic home/student Sixties American amps such as the Harvard. These small/student amps deliver organic tube juice and vibe at real-world volumes, making them super-usable and super-satisfying.
Our Skylark takes this fun utility a giant leap forward. Reverb, a built-in power attenuator, a Hi/Low gain switch and the extended range presence control offer an incredible pallet of tones from the Skylark’s dove-tailed cabinet.
Features:
- 12 Watts full output - (Brilliant Power)
- Built-in switchable variable attenuator 1.2 watts down to zero - (Ultra Useful)
- Low/High Gain switch – mid-60s to Hot Rod - (Macho)
- All tube Reverb - (Aquatic)
- Extended range Mid control - (from Double Scoop to Bark)
- Extended range Presence control - (Polite to Crystalline)
- All NC yellow pine cabinet with floating baffle - (Solid Tone)
- New Celestion A-type 12” American voiced speaker – (Dynamic)
- Analysis Plus cable - (Super Conductive)
- 100% Point to Point wiring - Solen Aerospace Satellite power supply capacitors
- Selected mixed resistor types - Custom Carr power/output transformers
- Local made saddle leather handles – Cabinets built in house
Retail/Street: $2,390
Carr Amplifiers began in 1998 with an irresistible passion for hand-wired vacuum tube guitar amplifiers. We take inspiration from the classics of the Fifties and Sixties then imagine new features, refinements in tone, reliability and ease of operation.
