the Straight Truth About Pickups by Jason Lollar
The “magic” found in some (but not all) classic vintage pickups
was created by accident. Don’t let anyone tell you different. And
over time, some pretty stellar accidents happened. The only way
to recreate that magic is to study more than a few exceptional
examples of all the classic pickup types, while acquiring a
thorough understanding of exactly what materials were used
and precisely how each pickup was constructed and wound.
Only then is the “magic” repeatable, if you are willing to spend the
time and money required to chase the dragon. I am.
I personally design and wind over 30 different pickup models,
including all the vintage classics, many obscure works of art
known only to lap and pedal steel players like Robert Randolph,
and even a few of my own designs that never existed in the past.

the Carr Raleigh–“when a very big 3-watts is all you need”
Suppose you could own a compact, lightweight,
low-powered 1x10 actually capable of delivering
lush, clean headroom, naturally fat output tube
distortion, plus an overdrive channel with master
volume for those times when rocking the casbah
may not be such a good idea…
Now you can.
The Raleigh is our first single EL- 84 amp, and
being guitar players ourselves, we spent a lot of
time considering what we could bring to a small,
compact new design – like clean ‘blackface’
headroom, thick distortion at even discreet volume
levels, actual bottom end from an Eminence ‘Lil
Buddy hemp cone ten, convenient external bias
points, and your choice of covering colors and
classic hardwood custom panels.
Play a Raleigh today at your Carr dealer or visit
our web site at www.carramps.com for more information on the Raleigh – our new little big amp.
