Sound Pure's Take

Brilliant! What more can we say. From the early days of Carr when we first started carrying these at Indoor Storm, we couldn't get enought of the Rambler! It was used on about 90% of our available sound files because of how well in represented the guitar itself. The amp has such a sweet, full, and rich tone that it became the one amp we turned to. It takes pedals wonderfully. From Bedroom, to Studio, to Stage, the Rambler performs brilliantly in any scenario!

From Carr Amplifiers

Long before the birth of Carr Amplifiers, I spent years playing, repairing, modifying and intently listening to classic guitar amps. The Rambler was one of my earliest signature designs, and today it is still one of our most popular models. Why? It's no accident that the Rambler succeeds in delivering classic American 'deluxe' tone with dramatically expanded clean headroom, solid bass response and the option of 28 watt pentode or 14 watt triode operation. The Rambler simply reflects my desire to improve and refine the original concept of an appropriately powered 1x12 club amp with reverb and tremolo. Rambler owners describe their amps as being warm, full and round, with a surprisingly high threshold of clean tone, (which also makes the Rambler uniquely suited to virtually any overdrive pedal ever built). The Rambler is considered by many to be the quintessential club amp, voiced to meet the needs of virtually any player, and all types of music.
