Carr Amplifiers is a Pittsboro, North Carolina, manufacturer of high-end, hand-wired tube guitar amplifiers. ==Critical reception== Carr's amplifiers are praised for their workmanship and high-end components; ''Guitar Player'' said the Rambler's "layout and wiring are absolutely flawless." Russell Carlson in ''JazzTimes'' remarked on the Carr Rambler's "top-notch craftsmanship, hand-wired electronics and thoughtful, well-researched design." The Carr amplifiers with 6L6 tubes are compared to classic Fender amps; the Slant 6V, which offers 6L6 or 6V6 power tube options also has 12AX7 and 12AT7 tubes, was praised as "an amazingly useful and versatile amp" and was a "''Guitar Player'' Editors' Pick" in 2009. The "exceptional" Vincent was praised for "its rich tone, variable power, and compact size." Many of Carr's amplifiers have switchable power outputs, adding to their versatility, according to professional reviews. Carr Amplifiers were praised for having the "retro good looks of the Elvis era" while offering "crystal clear sound" in their selection as a runner up in ''Garden & Gun'' magazine's "Made in the South" 2010/2011 competition. Ed King of Lynyrd Skynyrd, John Fogerty, and Jeff Tweedy of Wilco own guitar amplifiers from this "boutique brand". Founder Steve Carr said of the company: "We try to figure out the great things about forties, fifties, and sixties amps and throw in some new twists. But our amps don’t have a whole lot of knobs or switches. They’re super-useful but very simple."〔(Made in South Award Winners 2010 ) page 4 Dec/Jan 2010 Garden & Gun〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carr Amplifiers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
