Mercury V Instructions
Thank you for purchasing a Carr Mercury V amplifier. The Mercury V, the bigger British
cousin of our award winning Skylark, is back with an ultra evolved feature set borrowing the
best of the past while rocketing into the future.
At double the power of its 8 watt predecessor, the Mercury V is highly touch sensitive with a
huge range of British tones from 60s, aggressive clean thru 70s rock, and into 80s and 90s
tasty crunch, so you get to decide which decade’s stack you’d like to dial in. Our built-in
attenuator delivers real power tube overdrive at whisper levels retaining the feel and juice of
full volume fun.
Plus, you get everything Carr is known for, in-house crafted solid pine dovetailed cabinets,
bleeding edge power supply components mixed with Mid-Century signal elements, and true
point to point wiring. Please take time to familiarize yourself with this manual.

Carr Amplifiers began in 1998 with an irresistible passion for hand wired vacuum tube
guitar amplifiers. We take inspiration from the classics of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s then
imagine new features, refinements in tone, reliability, and ease of operation. Essential tone
with organic tactile feel is our signature.
