The Sportsman sound files have been posted to the Carr Amps website. The tracks were played and recorded by our friend Jason Barker using a Sportsman 1×12 combo with a Briggs Avatar and a Gibson ES-335. Here is a sample:

The Sportsman

Inspired by mid ’60s American reverb-type amps, the Carr Sportsman is a versatile performer in a compact and portable package.

Features

  • Dual 6V6, class A, partial fixed bias
  • 16 watts clean, 19 watts maxed
  • Lush, all tube reverb with long spring tank
  • Mid control with extended range
  • Variable Headroom control
  • Floating ’60s-style baffle
  • Compact size
  • Solid pine cabinet
  • Available in 1×12 and 1×10 combos
  • Wonderful all-around amplifier

Description

Fusing the insistent purity of ’60s American 1×10 reverb-style amps with the more aggressive
dual 6V6 power section of the late ’50s, we bring you the Sportsman! Tones ranging from clear
and snappy to Texas pushed twang to intercontinental grind are all under the hood of the Sportsman.
The combination of Volume, Headroom, and Mid controls puts this tonal palette in your calloused
fingertips.

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.

    ¡Olé!
