Carr Amplifiers are made by Steve Carr and his staff in Pittsboro,North Carolina USA.
Having tried a number of these amps what I really like is the attention to detail and workmanship. The amplifiers are based on famous tried and tested circuits and they sound exactly as Carr amps describe.
Our full revalve kit aim to help you get the best out of these excellent amplifiers.
The Harma ECC83 STR Philips 6V6GT full upgrade kit is designed to get the best out of this superb amp. This combination provides a crystal clear top end with more extension and clarity when used clean. When pushing this amplifier into overdrive the valves combined characteristics provide a warm clear sound with excellent sustain with plenty of upper harmonics. The Harma ECC83 STR is used to maintain the amps sparkling clean sounds. The mid-range is clean and transparent which removes the mush from the sound when the amplifier is overdriven. The valve responds very well to pedals and crunches up with a fat well balanced tone.
The Philips 6V6GT are the original USA Military valve that was used extensively by Fender. These are Full Jan Specification which means that they are long life and superbly made with the highest grade materials. No modern day 6V6GT has the clarity of this valve.
USA made Philips NOS 6V6GT produce a warm clear sound and very open sound with a smooth clear distortion. The valve has that tight midrange punch that provides excellent note clarity. Indeed, No other 6V6GT supplies that sparkling clean sound and top end chime as well as this valve. Solo's and riffs are have plenty of warm harmonic sustain. Power chords have plenty of slam with enough crunch to add impact to the Chords. this is why this valve is considered the bench mark when it comes to Fender style clarity. It simply out classes the modern made 6V6GT without exception.
