Description

The 6L6 Viceroy is biased deeply into Class A, yielding a pushed, ready-to-jump feel. The vibe from The Viceroy is explosive and forward-tilting. It distorts very well in a large curd Tweedish way when cranked. The clean tone is gorgeous and dimensional. The 1x12 is wonderfully compact.

Features include reverb, two power levels (33 or 7 watts), variable drive control (internal clean boost which gives the amp more push and OD when the amp is turned up - you can hear more of the winding on strings and dynamic, super twang), lastly a footswitchable fixed boost (partial tone stack bypass), which greatly increases midrange punch and yields a wonderful grind - the volume increase is just right for a solo or if the amp is really overdriving it thickens and adds sustain (lighted footswitch included). Controls include volume, treble, mid (with panel on/off for boost), bass, reverb, drive, and power level.

Artists and Press

[The Viceroy] is the most responsive amp I've ever used. Really! I can use those essential sorta-dirty tones and still hear individual strings within a chord, or I can dig in a little harder and the whole thing glues together. Players who use a combination of pick and fingers on their picking hand will notice how you can really hear the subtle tone effects of that style. The clean sound can be glassy or warm, and the overdriven sound can be anywhere along the scale

There's no doubt in our minds that Steve Carr is on top of his game and producing great guitar amps. It's not just the bullet-proof build standard and exceptional tonal clarity, but the pinpoint response that just seems to do exactly what you want that makes the Vincent so special. This is a rare quality and if all Carr Vincents are as good as this sample, they're going to become very sought after. - Guitarist

The Vincent (now The Viceroy) is currently reviewed in the March 2008 issue of Vintage Guitar.
