What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent - Celestion Creamback speaker upgrade

A perfect amp for small clubs or bedroom rocking! The built-in attenuator is an excellent feature for both recording or apartment use but you better believe this thing can put out some power! A modern take on the classic Fender collegiate-named amp sound. The original speaker was swapped for a Celestion Creamback which suits this amp very well! 

Manufacturer's Description from Carr

The Carr Skylark….
 
…Is the ultimate low-power American inspired amplifier!! 
 
The Skylark idea began with our love and appreciation for classic home/student 60s American amps such as the Harvard to name but one.  These small – student amps deliver organic tube juice and vibe at real world volumes – making them super usable and super satisfying.  Our Skylark takes this fun utility a giant leap forward.
Reverb, a built in power attenuator, Hi/Low gain switch, and the extended range presence control offer an incredible pallet of tones from the Skylark’s beautiful dove-tailed cabinet.
 
 
 
12 Watts full output - (Brilliant Power)
Built-in switchable variable attenuator 1.2 watts down to zero - (Ultra Useful)
Low/High Gain switch – mid-60s to Hot Rod - (Macho)
All tube Reverb - (Aquatic)
Extended range Mid control - (from Double Scoop to Bark)
Extended range Presence control - (Polite to Crystalline)
All NC yellow pine cabinet with floating baffle - (Solid Tone)

About Manufacturer

Like you, all of us at Carr Amplifiers are guitarists. We share your love of the guitar, and we feel very fortunate to build amplifiers for a living at our shop in Pittsboro, North Carolina. And although we are understandably proud of our unique circuit designs, meticulous point-to-point construction, premium components and hand-crafted cabinets, our success has ultimately been the result of one simple fact; discerning guitarists continue to enthusiastically embrace the tone, reliability and versatile nature of our amplifiers. Perhaps it's because we view guitar amps as being as much an instrument as the guitar itself, and we truly believe that an amplifier should become a personal extension of every player. To that end, we strive to design and build amps with a distinct character and sonic personality, and the flexibility and practical features that will inspire you to create your very own signature sound at volume levels appropriate for home, studio and stage.
