Carr Amplifiers provided amps for
XX Merge, a five-day, 33-band music festival celebrating
Merge Records' 20th anniversary. Most bands used some combination of the three amps we provided: a
Slant 6V 1x12 combo, a
Viceroy 1x12 combo, and a
Hammerhead MkII head and 2x12 cabinet. The amps performed admirably through a range of musical styles from delicate to aggressive, even surviving an onslaught of half-full PBR cans during
Pipe's raucous set.
