Taking the Carr Mercury for a drive with '54 RI Stratocaster

Here I am playing a Custom Shop 1954 50th anniversary Fender Stratocaster Masterbuilt through a Carr Mercury and some pedals.

Please excuse the crappy audio, but you'll get the picture. The video camera couldn't handle the sound levels so most distortion you hear is from the camera ;-)

Anyway, this is me noodling on my Carr Mercury both clean and through some pedals.

In the first clip you can see how well the OCD, Boost n Buff and Little Green Wonder work together with the Diamond Memory Lane 2 and Carr Mercury. I have them all on and I think it still sounds ok.

For the second clip you hear the OCD through the Timmy, both on very low gain for just an edge

The third and fourth clip are both clean. The only thing that's working is the buffer in the Boost n Buff.

You state the last two segments your just using the Boost n Buff. First is it the version with two knobs and was it off in the buffer mode? Also does it add any volume when off pulled in line? Thanks

[JazzInc]

@shackleton1 No it was the boost n buff with one button and it's always on

[alswin77]

Would you mind mentioning the pedals you use in this video?

[JazzInc]

Sure, the delay is a Diamond Memory Lane 2, the overdrives are OCD, Timmy and Little Green Wonder.

Nice set of Strat licks. What was the 'last lick you played?...sounds very familiar...

like it could have been from a sound byte for Carr amps
