News and interesting stuff from Carr Amps.
…the Artemus is very humbucker friendly – deliciously gritty. For the rock-and-roll Tele player, it’s hard to beat. The amp is well-conceived, highlighted by its cab design, and everything about it, including fit and finish, say

Artemus Review in Vintage Guitar, July 2011 (821kb pdf)
The Artemus goes up against four other mid-power amps in the 2010 Holiday issue of Guitar Player magazine. On newsstands now.
Our dealer in Spain, Al’s Music Factory , produced this latest video demo of the Artemus.
The June 2010 issue of The ToneQuest Report contains a review of the Artemus and an interview with Steve Carr.
From the review: …you’ll feast on this amp’s ability to add chime, depth and rich harmonic textures to well-conceived chords and single-string transitions, and solos acquire a very British flavor and sparkling intensity with virtually any guitar you throw at it.
From the interview: You are trying to get me in trouble!

The June 2010 issue of Premier Guitar contains a review of the Artemus. Don’t delay, read it now: Carr Artemus 1×12 Combo Amp Review.
Have a look at this hi-fi video demo of the Artemus which was produced by Greg V. for Fat Sound Guitars and Carr Amps.
We’ve updated the website to fully integrate the Artemus, including sound files from our friend Jay Manley. Also, because the Hammerhead Mk II was discontinued at the beginning of this year, all of the Hammerhead Mk II information has been moved to the Support section of the site.
In the process of archiving the Hammerhead info, two new pages were created: Sounds Archive and Press Archive. The Press Archive, though containing nothing not previously available, groups reviews of the bygone models El Moto, Imperial, Hammerhead (the original), and Hammerhead Mk II. The Sounds Archive, in addition to housing the Hammerhead Mk II sounds, brings the original Imperial sound files back to the site (for your amusement only). We suspect the old El Moto and Hammerhead sounds are lurking about somewhere, but we have yet to locate any notes or settings lists which would help in their identification. The Press and Sounds Archives can be accessed through the Support page under Discontinued Models.
