This new version of the much loved Mercury comes with an improved feature set over the previous version that is, to be quite honest, darn well impressive. But let us get to the specifics just a bit later...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eThis new Mercury V really is a new amp altogether. It only shares the basic concept of the previous Mercury:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium to Low powered amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt in Attenuator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Feature Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eOther than that, it's changed quite a bit. While the original Mercury was powered by an EL34, it was a single ended amp, meaning it had a lot of the single ended qualities of a Champ type amp. This version is now powered by dual 6V6 Class A power section giving it a more British feel than before, and at 16 watts, more power as well. When the attenuator is engaged, you drop to 4 watts, where you can vary the output from 4 down to 0 watts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eThere's also many vintage Marshall vintage things about the new Mercury. It has two volumes volumes, one high (treble) frequency volume, and one lower (darker) frequency volume. There's also a toggle switch that changes the structure of the input signal through the volumes. When it's up, they are running in parallel, so they're working in conjunction with each other going into the amp. If you have a darker guitar you can add more highs here, and vice versa if you have a bright guitar. When the toggle switch is in the down position, the two volumes are running in series where one drives the other to increase the gain. Very nice!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eThere's also a 3 position boost switch that effects the overall gain of the amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003ePosition 1: -12 db\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003ePosition 2: -6 db\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003ePosition 3: Full Blast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #142747;\" color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#f03d04\" style=\"color: #f03d04;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#f03d04\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\" color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#f03d04\"\u003eAll handwired, true point to point construction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\" color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\" color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\"\u003e16 Watts (full output) 4 watts down to Zero w\/ built in attenuator\u003cbr\u003ePower Tubes: 2x6V6, Preamp Tubes: 4x12AX7\u003cspan color=\"#f03d04\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilt-in switchable attenuator 16\/4 to 0 watts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#f03d04\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003eDual Volume controls – Classic Parallel or Modded Series\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e3 Position Boost switch - British 60s thru 90s tube overdrive\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003eAnalysis Plus and Transparent cable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e3 Band Tone Stack – Treble, Mid, Bass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003eRecording\/PA Line Out\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003eCelestion Creamback M-65 12” speaker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003eCustom Carr Transformers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003eAll North Carolina sold yellow pine cabinet w\/ dovetailed joints\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003eTube driven Spring Reverb\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\" color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#f03d04\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003eDims \u0026amp; Weight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e21\" W by 17\" H by 10\" D, 41 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Carr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31283121979438,"sku":"CARRMER5CCO","price":3770.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4003\/products\/car_mercury_v_combo_amplifier_coco_1.jpg?v=1574260175","url":"https:\/\/www.humbuckermusic.mom\/products\/carr-mercury-v-1x12-combo-amp-coco","provider":"Humbucker Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
