About this listing
The Carr Mercury V reimagines one of the brand’s most iconic platforms, delivering authentic Marshall-inspired British tones with modern versatility and an expanded feature set. This boutique tube combo moves effortlessly from warm cleans to gritty mid-range crunch and searing lead sustain—all packed into a highly portable design that shines in rehearsal spaces, recording studios, and live venues.When Vintage Guitar magazine first hailed the original Mercury in 2003 as the “Tone of the Gods,” it cemented Carr’s reputation for sonic innovation. The Mercury V takes that legacy further, combining touch-sensitive response with an enhanced control layout that allows players to explore a wide spectrum of gain structures, EQ shaping, and output levels suitable for nearly any genre.Powered by a pair of 6V6GT power tubes for 16 watts of rich output, the Mercury V employs a unique preamp circuit featuring independent High and Low Volume controls, a three-way Boost switch, and a responsive three-band EQ. Whether you’re chasing chiming ’60s cleans, fat ’70s riff tones, ’80s stadium crunch, or ’90s high-gain saturation, this amp delivers. The dual channels can be blended in parallel for classic four-input textures or cascaded in series for massive modern gain.Carr’s hallmark built-in attenuator allows seamless scaling from 16 watts down to bedroom-friendly levels as low as 4 watts, while a post-power amp Line Out makes it easy to run direct to a PA system or recording interface. Add in its lush spring reverb, and you’ve got a compact combo with arena-sized sound.As with all Carr Amplifiers, the Mercury V is meticulously hand-built in North Carolina using dovetailed solid pine cabinets, point-to-point wiring, and premium-grade components sourced to military and aerospace standards. The result is a roadworthy boutique amplifier that delivers uncompromising tone, vintage character, and modern flexibility.Features* Celestion Creamback M-65 12”speaker * Custom Carr Transformers * All NC yellow pine cabinet * Spring/Tube Reverb * 2 x 6V6; 4 x 12AX7
