Sound Pure's Take

Classic spongy American amp tone with flexible EQ options! This amp translates to a variety of styles. We've tested with many guitars with fantastic results. Carr has a ton of great amps on the market and we believe this to be one of the strongest recent additions to the line.

Give us a call to talk more about it, or if you're lucky enough to live relatively close to our shop in Durham, NC, definitely stop by to play through the entire line of Carr Amps and choose the best one for your style and budget! That's what we're here for

From Carr Amplifiers

Fusing the insistent purity of '60s American 1x10 reverb-style amps with the more aggressive dual 6V6 power section of the late '50s, we bring you the Sportsman! Tones ranging from clear and snappy to Texas pushed twang to intercontinental grind are all under the hood of the Sportsman. The combination of Volume, Headroom, and Mid controls puts this tonal palette in your calloused fingertips.
