Raleigh Instructions

Thank you for purchasing a Carr Raleigh. The Raleigh is a versatile practice/studio amp
designed to deliver both pristine clean and heavily overdriven tones at usable volumes. The
Raleigh’s styling pays homage to the funky practice amps of the late 50s and early 60s.
We have taken great care with all component choices to ensure optimum sonics and
reliability.

Please take time to familiarize yourself with this manual.

Volume – Adjusts the loudness of the amplifier in clean mode. In overdrive mode, the
Volume control adjusts the amount of preamp gain, and the Master control is used to adjust
the loudness of the amplifier.

Tone – Varies the tone of the amplifier from dark to bright. Interactive with the Master
control in overdrive mode, the Tone control can provide more treble when the Master
control is turned up.

Mode Switch – Selects clean or overdrive modes. When overdrive mode is selected (switch
baton

down), the Master control is activated. In clean mode (switch baton up), the Master

control is not in the circuit.

Master – Adjusts the loudness of the amplifier when in overdrive mode. The Master control
has no effect in clean mode.

On – Off – On – Selects between two ON positions and the OFF position (middle). The two
ON’s are wired in opposite phase of each other. If you receive a shock from another piece of
equipment (a microphone or another amp) that is not properly grounded, or if you hear
static, switching to the opposite ON may solve the problem. This is sometimes called
“switching polarity”.

Bottom Panel

Fuse – In the unlikely event that a tube fails, the amp is protected by a 1 Amp slow blow

fuse for 120v and 100v (North America and Japan) models or a 0.5 Amp slow blow fuse for
220v and 240v (Europe and Asia) models. Please consult us or a qualified tech for further
instruction or assistance in the event of a fuse blowing. The fuse is located on the bottom of
the chassis by the power cord.
