The
Artemus
is simply and naturally a great sounding plug & play amp by anyone's standards,
and any adornments it lacks it clearly doesn't need.
- The ToneQuest Report, June 2010
In addition to the Artemus review, the issue contains an interview with Steve Carr. Sweet!
Through
good design or voodoo or however they did it, [the Artemus]
has a wonderful, vocal singing quality when cranked.
It just has a silky-smooth quality that is very pleasant.
writes Pat Smith in the June 2010 issue of
Premier Guitar.

Carr Artemus 1x12 Combo Amp Review.
