* Formerly known as The Vincent. Due to trademark issues we have changed the name of The Vincent to The Viceroy. We are now shipping the amps with the new Viceroy nameplates. The Viceroy is the same as the Vincent in all respects; only the name has changed.
The 33/7 watt Viceroy is our newest dual 6L6, classically American amplifier designed to deliver a full range of clean and overdriven sounds for home, stage, and studio.

- Unique variable drive control
- Footswitchable fixed boost (lighted footswitch included)
- Tube reverb
- 100% hand wired

- Eminence Wizard speakers
Description
The 6L6 Viceroy is biased deeply into Class A, yielding a pushed, ready-to-jump feel. The vibe from The Viceroy is explosive and forward-tilting. It distorts very well in a large curd Tweedish way when cranked. The clean tone is gorgeous and dimensional. The 1x12 is wonderfully compact.
Features include reverb, two power levels (33 or 7 watts), variable drive control (internal clean boost which gives the amp more push and OD when the amp is turned up - you can hear more of the winding on strings and dynamic, super twang), lastly a footswitchable fixed boost (partial tone stack bypass), which greatly increases midrange punch and yields a wonderful grind - the volume increase is just right for a solo or if the amp is really overdriving it thickens and adds sustain (lighted footswitch included).
Controls include volume, treble, mid (with panel on/off for boost), bass, reverb, drive, and power level.

Artists and Press
[The Viceroy] is the most responsive amp I've ever used. Really! I can use those essential sorta-dirty
tones and still hear individual strings within a chord, or I can dig in a little harder and the
whole thing glues together. Players who use a combination of pick and fingers on their picking
hand will notice how you can really hear the subtle tone effects of that style. The clean sound
can be glassy or warm, and the overdriven sound can be anywhere along the scale. When I went from
humbucking pickups to single-coils, I was just as happy. This amp extends what either of those
types of pickups can do. What fun!

There's no doubt in our minds that Steve Carr is on top of his game and producing great guitar amps.
It's not just the bullet-proof build standard and exceptional tonal clarity, but the pinpoint response
that just seems to do exactly what you want that makes the Vincent so special. This is a rare quality
and if all Carr Vincents are as good as this sample, they're going to become very sought after.
