Guitar Player, Feb 2009
In the spring of 2008, the Slant 6V was updated to include independently adjustable reverb in both channels and circuit tweaks to improve its already outstanding tone. Guitar Player magazine reviews the updated Slant 6V in the February 2009 issue, earning the Guitar Player Editors’ Pick. Reviewer Darrin Fox writes, Big props to Carr for churning out an amazingly useful and versatile amp that celebrates tube-tone nerdiness in an ultra-gig-worthy package.

The Vincent will be renamed The Viceroy
Due to trademark issues we’re changing the name of The Vincent to The Viceroy. Within a few months we will be shipping Vincents with the new Viceroy nameplates. The Viceroy will be the same as the Vincent in all respects; only the name will change.
