Slant 6V Instructions 

 
Thank you for purchasing the Carr Slant 6V amplifier. The Slant 6V is our most versatile 
amp capable of yielding a huge array of tones. Our channel switching scheme uses a high 
quality, gold contact relay to organically select between the 100% discrete channels. The 
guitar signal does not have to go through any solid state devices in this style of channel 
switching. Our goal was to fully optimize each channel for its job without compromise. 
Cathode and fixed bias pairs of power tubes and a tube rectifier set the Slant 6V apart as a 
truly unique design. Please take time to familiarize yourself with this manual. 

 

Clean Channel 
 

Volume

 – Adjusts the loudness of the clean channel. 

 

Treble

 – Varies the top end from dark to bright. 

 

Middle

 – Varies the mid frequencies and is very influential in taking the tone from a 60’s 

blackface sound (minimum to 11 o’clock) to a pushed tweed mid sound (11 o’clock to 
full). 

 
Bass

 – Varies the low end from lean to full. 

 

Reverb

 – Controls the amount of reverb from none to deep and lush. 

 

Channel Selector Switch

 – Selects the active channel: clean (switch baton 

left

), or 

overdrive (switch baton 

right

). The switch is active only when the 

Footswitch/Panel

 switch 

on the back panel is in the 

Panel

 position.  See 

Footswitch

 below for more information. 

 
Overdrive Channel 

 

Volume

 – Adjusts the amount of overdrive from slight (8 to 10 o’clock) to distorted (10 

o’clock to full) with more and more grind and sustain. 
 

Boost Switch

 – Increases the gain before the master volume control (see 

Master

 below) 

by a factor of 3. Though it does result in an increase in loudness, its main effect is to 
produce more overdrive and sustain.  ON when the switch baton is 

down

, OFF when the 

switch baton is 

up

 

Master

 – Adjusts the overall loudness of the overdrive channel.  

 

Treble

 – Varies the top end from balanced to forward.
