Description

The Carr Viceroy is a 33-watt point-to-point hand-wired guitar combo amplifier regarded as one of the most tonally versatile boutique amps available, with interactive tone controls that shift the amp's entire sonic character rather than functioning as standard EQ bands. Two power settings via the cathode bias circuit give it the feel of a Deluxe at one setting and a Super Reverb at the other. When cranked the Viceroy drives into large, open Tweed-style distortion described as explosive and forward-tilting. Tape Op praised the Viceroy as having sonic and build qualities as good as they get in the boutique category.
