In this video Guitar World’s gear editor Paul Riario demonstrates the features of the Carr Raleigh 1×10 combo amp.

As some of you have noticed, we are a little short on Raleigh sound files. If you’ve yearned to hear more of the Raleigh, this video demonstration provides a good overview of what the amp can do.

By the way, we pronounce it RA-lee not Rally.

Rambler Review in JazzTimes

JazzTimes, Oct 2009

JazzTimes, Oct 2009

This month’s issue of JazzTimes has a review of the Rambler. Reviewer Russell Carlson writes:

I’d say what you’re paying for–beyond the great tone–is top-notch craftsmanship, hand-wired electronics and thoughtful, well-researched design that adds up to a solid piece of dependable equipment.

Incidently, the cover story is on Nels Cline, who plays a Raleigh and a Rambler.

Update – 4 Nov 2009: JazzTimes has put the review online at http://jazztimes.com/articles/25115-gearhead-carr-rambler-amplifier.

Still image from video This content requires the Adobe Flash player plugin.

In the third installment of the Carr Video Series, Steve presses boldly forward into the murky haze of tube biasing. Armed with diagrams and can-do spirit, he attacks the difficult subject matter. He emerges 9:39 minutes later, battered but victorious, and ready to begin sparring with video #4.
