Key Features
The Carr Mercury V is a premium hand-built boutique valve combo amplifier designed to deliver exceptional touch sensitivity, rich harmonic detail and versatile low-to-medium power performance. Built in North Carolina, USA, the Mercury V combines vintage-inspired circuitry with modern functionality, making it a favourite among recording musicians and discerning guitarists.
Producing up to 16 watts from its valve-driven power section, the amplifier offers everything from sparkling cleans to rich overdrive without requiring excessive stage volume. Its integrated power attenuator allows output levels to be reduced while retaining the amplifier's dynamic response and tonal character.
Featuring a custom 12-inch speaker, valve-driven spring reverb and tremolo effects, the Mercury V delivers a broad palette of classic American and British-inspired sounds. Its meticulous hand-wired construction and premium components ensure outstanding reliability and tonal performance.
