Wow… I’ve been known to write some fairly in-depth reviews in my time (heck, a few of them have taken me literally weeks to complete,) but Jason Barker over at Steelbender.com just puts me to shame.
His review of Carr’s new Vincent 1x12” Combo––a heavily Class-A biased tube amp––is top notch, consisting of not only a full written review, but numerous photos (including a few under the hood to show off that point-to-point wring,) five audio clips with accompaniment, five video samples, and an audio interview with Steve Carr about the Vincent.
Really makes me wish I had room for yet another great tube amp in my arsenal… the Vincent is packing dual 6L6 output tubes, real tube-driven reverb, dual power levels––your pick of 7 or 33 watts––a fixed footswitchable boost, variable drive control, a hand-made solid pine cabinet, and a single 12” Eminence Wizard speaker.
Carr’s got a few sound samples of their own as well, but Steelbender.com’s are better––check out this piece showing off the Vincent’s clean setting with the reverb on full-tilt. Nice…
