Carr Amplifiers began when Steve Carr started producing amps out of his repair shop in 1998. Steve Carr is a guitarist and engineer, and he repaired amps in Chapel Hill before producing his own. Carr Amplifiers is now located in a converted 1950s chicken hatchery located 15 miles south of Chapel Hill. The company employs twelve craftsmen builders, including a dedicated cabinet shop. Carr's philosophy is to combine the best vintage sound with the modern technology and products. They spend hours selecting components and testing amplifiers to get the best sound possible out of an amplifier. For more information, visit Carr's website or contact them directly.
Amplifiers currently produced in Pittsboro, NC since 1998.
