Mercury V 16W 1x12 Reverb Combo

 PLEASE NOTE, DUE TO SIZE, COLLECTION ONLY PLEASE.

2017 Carr Mercury V 16 watt combo. Beautiful sounding, point to point hand wired boutique amp. 6V6 Power tubes, 12AX7 pre-amp and valve driven reverb. Fitted with a very good on board attenuator. Highly tweakable with a great range of sweet tones. The boost switch works particularly well offering 3 distinctly different tones. In excellent condition, never gigged with only light home use.

Based on a pair of 6V6GT power tubes for a full-throated 16 watts, the Mercury V harnesses an ingeniously original preamp circuit featuring dual Volume controls (for High and Low voicings), a three-position Boost switch, and a three-knob EQ stage to kick out a dynamic range of distinctly English tones. The results included everything from pushed ’60s cleans, to chunky ’70s rock, right into’80s and ’90s crunch and singing leads, and even scorching high-gain sizzle. The internally paired High and Low channels can be run in parallel like a jumpered four-hole classic, or switched to cascade in series, taking the gain levels off the charts and into the 21st century.

An onboard attenuator—Carr’s forte—can be switched in to take the firepower anywhere from 4 watts down to a mere whisper, and there’s a post-power amp Line Out to send it to the PA or into your recording interface for tracking. Add lush tube-returned spring reverb, and there’s a wealth of multi-dimensional tone packed into this remarkably compact combo.

It’s all put together with the top-quality parts and construction that Carr is famous for, including in-house crafted dovetailed solid North Carolina yellow pine cabinets, military and NASA-grade power supply components, and trenchant mid-Century signal elements rendered in true point-to-point wiring.
