In CoCo! Ever thought you’d love to marry the sonic qualities of a deep, bold 6L6 and a chewy, harmonically complex EL84 in one amp? The Carr Telstar does just that, and blasts a new tonal template into the stratosphere as a result, attaining myriad ‘brand-new classic’ tones you previously didn’t know existed.The key to the Telstar’s unique capabilities lies in its merger of two very different power tubes in the same push-pull output stage: a 5881 (6L6GC type) exerts solidity, control, and a bountiful low end; an EL84 slathers on sinewy, complex, overtone-laden shimmer and bite. There’s really nothing like it, yet put them together and the plethora of tones available are instantly inspiring.17 Watts full output - (Double Digit Power)6L6 (stock) plus EL84 power tubes together in push pull class A - (Unprecedented)Use any octal power tube with the EL84 without re-biasing - (experimental)53/58 switch – round early 50s Fullerton to Proto British Hot Rod - (Macho)Lean/Lush switch – tight to rich bass - (elastic)All tube Reverb - (Aquatic)Built-in variable attenuator 17 watts down to zero - (Useful)Mid Century Midrange - (confident)Extended range One Knob tone control - (Less is More)Early 60s thin wall space age cabinet - (Solid Tone)Custom ‘Valiant’ speaker – (Sincere to Sinister)1) 6L6 (EL34 - 6V6 compatible) 1) EL84 1) 6SL7 Tung Sol Octal 1) 12AX7 1) 12AT7100% Point to Point wiringSolen Aerospace Satellite power supply capacitorsSelected mixed resistor typesJupiter Tone CapsCustom Carr power/output transformersLocal made saddle leather handlesCabinets built in house
