WTB: Carr Rambler / Louis Electric or similar (1x12 preferred) SOLVED!
What's Hot
Let me know what you have for sale!
Now looking ideally for blackface 1x12 amps:
Carr Rambler
Louis Electric Deltone Reverb or similar model
I was looking for Redplate as well but based on an upclose demo I am now not going for Redplate due to differences I have with their construction methods (stickers for control panels, etc).
Comments
There have been a couple of Redplates up for sale lately, so search this forum. Coda Music also have some usued ones in stock, and obviously stock Carrs...
The Rambler, especially with the Elsinore speaker, are some of the best cleans Iive encountered and it remains my no.1 amp. It takes pedals superbly and it a great 'home' amp.
The Redplate remains the best live sound Ive ever had.
Hope this helps

The Astrodust in Coda used to be mine (I traded it in about 2 years ago).
i have been really close to buying it back as it is one of the few Amps I miss.
incredibily verstile and what a sound...
When I bought it I played the Carr’s and Two Rock’s they had in, and preferred this.
At the the time I also had a Blues Machine 66 and promptly moved it on, as it became totally redundant.
Good price as well, if I hadn’t just bought an amp on Tuesday I would be sorely tempted.
The Astrodust is obviously a bit unique with its preamp shaping- I wonder how faithfully you think it recreates the so called blackface, brownface and tweed tones with that feature?? It’s running 2 KT88s on the power stage right? Does this ‘colour ‘ the tones it generates much?
Presumably 2 x KT88s @ 80w means lots of headroom and bloody loud if you want it to be?!
cheers!
Also wondered what the Blues Machine gave you that the Astrodust didn’t? (Apart from portability?)
