Used Carr Skylark

The Carr Skylark is a 12-watt, 1x12 tube combo inspired by compact ’60s American amps like the Fender Harvard. Its pair of cathode-biased 6V6 power tubes delivers crisp, Blackface-style cleans in Low Gain mode, while the High Gain setting adds midrange bite and brings on breakup sooner. Tube-driven spring reverb adds depth, and separate Treble and Presence controls let you dial in everything from a softer top end to the extra cut you want in a mix.

The built-in attenuator is what makes the Skylark especially useful at home or in the studio. Run it at the full 12 watts for more clean headroom, or switch to Attenuate mode and dial the speaker output from 1.2 watts down to 0.01 watt. You can turn up the amp for natural tube breakup and set the listening level independently. The 12-inch Celestion A-Type speaker sits in a dovetailed solid yellow pine cabinet with a floating baffle.
