CARR AMPLIFIERS OWNER’S MANUAL Revised 15 Oct 2007...

Slant 6V Instructions Thank you for purchasing the Carr Slant 6V amplifier. The Slant 6V is our most versatile amp capable of yielding a huge array of tones. Our channel switching scheme uses a high quality, gold contact relay to organically select between the 100% discrete channels. The guitar signal does not have to go through any solid state devices in this style of channel switching.
Middle – Varies the mid frequencies and is very influential in taking the tone from dark to cutting. Bass – Varies the low end from lean to full. Standby – Set amp to standby (switch baton down) before turning on the power switch (see On-Off-On below).

Half Power, Fixed Bias: This half power setting delivers a punchy attack, with more power than the cathode bias setting, for a tight, crisp sound. Half Power, Cathode Bias: This half power setting takes advantage of the power tubes inherent, natural compression, giving plentiful sustain and tasty harmonic distortion especially when pushed with the overdrive channel.

The Slant 6V can only use 6V6 power tubes. Carr Amplifiers selects and tests the finest current production tubes specifically for each amplifier model. Caution should be used when buying replacement tubes from any dealer who does not have a return policy as all tubes can have problems (NOS tubes are susceptible to microphonics and failure too).
Important Reminders • Please keep the original packing materials in case your amp needs to be shipped for service. Ask your dealer if they did not provide them. • When changing power tubes the power tube key must line up with the tube socket keyway. Do not insert tubes with missing or damaged keys.

(incorrect orientation of tubes can damage the amp), or spilled beverages, as these will void the warranty. • The amplifier is shipped to Carr Amplifiers in the original packing materials with freight paid by the purchaser. We pay the return shipping after the warranty work is complete.
