Seller's description

Get your Carr Mercury V Amp from Humbucker Music, the largest Carr Amplifier dealer in the world. The new Carr Mercury V amplifier is the latest offering from Carr Amplification, and is essentially a higher wattage, British flavored rendition of their stellar Skylark amp. This new version of the much loved Mercury comes with an improved feature set over the previous version that is, to be quite honest, darn well impressive. But let us get to the specifics just a bit later... This new Mercury V really is a new amp altogether. It only shares the basic concept of the previous Mercury: Medium to Low powered amp Built in Attenuator Reverb Full Feature Set Other than that, it's changed quite a bit. While the original Mercury was powered by an EL34, it was a single ended amp, meaning it had a lot of the single ended qualities of a Champ type amp. This version is now powered by dual 6V6 Class A power section giving it a more British feel than before, and at 16 watts, more power as well. When the attenuator is engaged, you drop to 4 watts, where you can vary the output from 4 down to 0 watts. There's also many vintage Marshall vintage things about the new Mercury. It has two volumes volumes, one high (treble) frequency volume, and one lower (darker) frequency volume. There's also a toggle switch that changes the structure of the input signal through the volumes. When it's up, they are running in parallel, so they're working in conjunction with each other going into the amp. If you have a darker guitar you can add more highs here, and vice versa if you have a bright guitar. When the toggle switch is in the down position, the two volumes are running in series where one drives the other to increase the gain. Very nice! There's also a 3 position boost switch that effects the overall gain of the amp. Position 1: -12 db Position 2: -6 db Position 3: Full Blast Specifications: All handwired, true point to point construction 16 Watts (full output) 4 watts down to Zero
