Carl's Custom Amps British Custom 7w JCM800-Style Head

Carl's Custom Amps are based out of Las Cruces, NM and specialize in hand-built, vintage and modern style amps ranging from Fender and Marshall to Mesa Boogie and more! This particular one is the British Custom 7. This is modeled after the classic Marshall JCM800 camp. And the common gripe with that particular amp is that it's just too loud before you can get any useable amp breakup. That's where Carl's comes in. This 7 watt beauty aims to take those classic gain sounds at a useable volume. It's 7 watts and plenty loud enough to practice, record with, and even do small gigs. It's an aggressive fire breather than captures the sound of the very best of those roaring heads but without the ear ache and with slightly smoother less grating texture to the tone.  It's more versatility and touch sensitive than most big amps. Boutique parts and point to point wiring make this the finest low wattage hi gain amp out there. An all tube FX loop is optional. The amp looks simple but the different settings of the tone controls in conjunction with the mid boost and the control on the guitar deliver a wide palate of tones. Every thing from Bluesy to classic Plexi to ripping distortion is there. It's a modified Marshall JCM 800 circuit that is sure to please.

This is a USED amplifier in EXCELLENT condition. If you have any questions please feel free to shoot us a message or give us a call at (217) 607-8132.
