Interesting... most people like the Carr, but if I had to choose just one, I'd go for the Carrerra because it's more versatile. I can go from decent clean to killer distortion with just my guitar volume.
As for the 335, it looks beautiful but it's not in shape to play. It's an original 60's but the headstock was broken so no real value. With the set neck and no easy access to the electronics, a fortune to fix. One day maybe... Thanks for commenting.
PS: Carrera is on the 9 pin.

Having both parts open and flicking between I prefer the Cornford. There is more depth and richness. Both are very good. I own a carerra but to me i prefer it. I guess as both sound good each person will have a varying opiion. P.s that 335 looks great. could you do the same clip with the carerra and the 335. i bet it is so rich and warm. also which setting is the carerra the 9 or 8 pin?

Thank you!

AB and ABY boxes can cause grounding problems so you have to be careful and lucky! But for me, I simply use the stereo capability on my Digitech Digidelay, set for a mild reverb setting only. No Hiss, Piss or Plonk, either on or off - no matter if single coils too. When used with my Tweed Deluxe and the Cornford is quite magical! (The Roadhouse has no reverb unlike the Carrera).

Thanks for doing this comparo!
How loud do you have to crank the Carrera to get *good* distortion tones? Too loud for home use if neighbors are closeby? Or can you turn it down and still have it satisfying?

It's perfect for home playing, great distortion at pretty much any volume. The Carr's clean clean tones are nicer, I think, but the Carrera's distortion tones are just great.

Thank you for your review.
How about your opinion about pedals with both amp?
Cheers,

Afraid I don't use pedals much. Have the Sparkle Drive but mostly use it for clean boost. Also use a Barber Tone Press occasionally. Both amps seem to take the pedals well, but the Carrera has an effects loop so it's more versatile in that regard. The effects loop works really well. Thanks for your comment.
