Carr Super Bee Combo
Carr · amplifier
The Carr Super Bee is a 10-watt point-to-point hand-wired guitar combo amplifier powered by a pair of unusual 6BM8 output tubes, featuring a three-position Sting switch that cycles through three distinct Fender-inspired voicings: 64 (scooped-mids bell-like shimmer based on the Deluxe Reverb), 68 (bold and sinewy clean punch based on a nearly cranked Super Reverb), and 72 (Tweed snarl or late-Seventies Marshall raunch). A built-in attenuator produces increased touch-sensitivity and harmonics at low volumes, making it exceptional for recording and bedroom use. Guitar World called it one of the finest compact boutique combos of its year.
