Description
Long before the birth of Carr Amplifiers, I spent years playing, repairing, modifying and intently listening to classic guitar amps. The Rambler was one of my earliest signature designs, and today it is still one of our most popular models. Why? It's no accident that the Rambler succeeds in delivering classic American 'deluxe' tone with dramatically expanded clean headroom, solid bass response and the option of 28 watt pentode or 14 watt triode operation. The Rambler simply reflects my desire to improve and refine the original concept of an appropriately powered 1x12 club amp with reverb and tremolo. Rambler owners describe their amps as being warm, full and round, with a surprisingly high threshold of clean tone, (which also makes the Rambler uniquely suited to virtually any overdrive pedal ever built). The Rambler is considered by many to be the quintessential club amp, voiced to meet the needs of virtually any player, and all types of music.

Artists and Press
...the Rambler's tone is amazingly dimensional; detailed and
focused, with a rich punchy bottom that takes on that blackface sonic
bloom...
- 20th Century Guitar
I was immediately impressed with the clean tone of the Carr
Rambler. After playing through it for a few minutes, I was even more
amazed. It has a beautiful clean rhythm sound much like a blackface
Fender amp, but with it's own magic twist to it. A very responsive
and alive sounding amp that seems to musically correspond to the feel
of what your fingers are playing. I highly recommend it for an
excellent clean rhythm sound.
