Summary of Contents for Carr The Viceroy Amp

  • Page 1 CARR AMPLIFIERS OWNER’S MANUAL Revised 22 Mar 2011...
  • Page 3 The Viceroy Instructions Thank you for purchasing a Carr Viceroy amplifier. The Viceroy model employs pure and simple, classic 60’s American-style preamp circuits combined with output sections owing more to the late 50’s. This unique blending yields very rich clean tones and chunky, smooth overdrives.

  • Page 4: Bottom Panel

    Reverb – Varies the amount of reverb from none to deep and lush. Drive – The Drive control is somewhat like having a clean boost pedal in the middle of your amp. As you turn up the control, the spank and punch of the amp is increased. The Drive works by shunting a tone-shaped portion of your signal around the reverb circuit freeing a great deal of gain and purity of sound.
  • Page 5 The Viceroy can only use pairs of 6L6, 5881, or 7581A 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).
  • Page 6 Recommended Settings Both of the Viceroy’s power levels will work well with the settings below. You can overdrive the amp at lower listening levels when on the 7 watt setting, though the amp has more overdrive potential and a somewhat fuller sound on the 33 watt position. In general, humbucking pickups have more bass and volume output compared to single coil types.

  • Page 8: Important Reminders
