NAD - Thanks to Coda, Carr Skylark

So after asking for lots of opinions on here - I went to Coda at Stevenage for the first time.

The intention was to look at a Swart Space Tone Reverb, and maybe a Carr Sportsman.

What a wonderful shop!

Ended up spending 5 hours, undisturbed, trying the Swart (with and without a Night Light attenuator - which it really needs), Carr Mercury, Carr Sportsman.

I was leaning towards the Mercury - then Doug came in and said you should try this.

'This' Is a Carr Skylark, which got delivered this morning in two tone cream and green.

Wonderful amp, the attentuator is great for home use - and it just sounds amazing.

And a cracking shop - no pressure to buy, good advice and in the end a great deal (especially with Brexit price hikes looming)

Takes pedals wonderfully - and looks cool!

    I am so relieved gutted that I live the right wrong side of London to get to Coda.  Carr amps are the digger's danglers.

    Congrats! That looks gorgeous and am sure it sounds it too. 

    I keep putting off a visit to Coda as I'm sure it would end up being expensive.......

  • Brilliant amps - well done! I tried one (also in Coda) while waiting to demo a Badcat. Not exactly what I'm looking for in an amp but a lovely thing to play through.

    I got my Skylark from Coda too. Great shop, great amp. It's a shame I didn't know you were after one - I've been playing my Impala more recently and two Carrs is a bit of a luxury!
