What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

The good folks at Carr Amplifiers have taken the adage of "less is more" to a whole other level with their new Raleigh model. It may be low-wattage with minimal controls, but don't let that fool you...it's a tone monster! Equally adept at clean as crunchy and equally at ease practicing in the bedroom as tracking in the studio, the Raleigh has got you covered!

Manufacturer's Description from Carr

The Raleigh is a versatile practice/studio amp designed to deliver both pristine clean and heavily overdriven tones at truly usable volumes. The Raleigh's styling pays homage to the funky practice amps of the late 50s and early 60s.

 

Producing 4 watts, with just three knobs on the panel, the Raleigh’s secret weapon lies in a split personality that delivers everything from glassy, spanky ’60s American blackface tones to juicy, sustaining Brit-voiced overdrive, all at the flick of a switch. Fire it up for low-decibel apartment jams or mic it for the easiest clean-to-scream studio tones you’ve ever tracked, all with the full, rich, dynamic sound and feel of a much bigger amp.

 

The Raleigh’s aural opulence comes courtesy of a single EL84 power tube in a pure Class-A output stage, driven by two 12AX7 preamp tubes in the front end. The simple Volume and Tone controls keep the signal pure for optimal clarity and touch sensitivity, while a flick of the Clean/Overdrive toggle ramps up the gain and brings in the Master control for saturated lead tones and singing sustain, right down to hushed neighbor-friendly volume levels. 

 

Despite its simplicity, the Raleigh is nevertheless built using Carr’s acclaimed point-to-point, hand-wired circuit construction and a hand-crafted, thin wall Baltic Birch cabinet that brings this stylishly retro 1x12" combo in at a mere 25 lbs. 

 

Grab, go, and let the tone commence!

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.
