Carr Sportsman Amp Head, Black
- DESCRIPTION
The Carr Sportsman Amp is a great take on the instantly recognizable tone of 60's Fender small combos, combined with the dual 6V6 power section of similar late 50's style amps.
Tones ranging from clear and snappy to Texas pushed twang to intercontinental grind are all under the hood of the Sportsman. This portable little monster gives you a simple platform for your pedalboard as well as a myriad of classic and cranked american tones, and does so without taking up a too much room OR wearing out your back! The Addition of MID and HEADROOM controls give you even more control when tweaking the sound of this familiar, yet innovative combo.
So, what about this "Headroom" control?
The Headroom knob is the interface between the pre amp and the power amp on the Sportsman. For the cleanest sound, set the Headroom to Max and set the Volume control low. For thicker clean tones, set the Headroom to 11 o'clock and the Volume to 12 o'clock. For overdriven tones, set the Volume to 3 o'clock or higher and set the Headroom to the desired listening level. Higher Headroom settings will bring in more output section overdrive when the Volume is set high
