I bought an early 70's Carlsbro 2x12 combo a while ago :
It had no valves nor speakers when I bought it so it just stood there, in my studio for a few months...Until I found a decent pair of Goodmans. At first I wanted to mod it, add more gain, make it more "Superlead" but then I plugged in a Les Paul jumpered the channels and turn both volumes up :

I have enough Superleads so I left the amp as stock, I really like how it sounds, kind of a Hiwatt/Vox mix. Here's how it sounds with a Strat and the same amp settings :

It's 70's loud but I didn't install a PPIMV as it takes pedals really well. In this video I start with the amp set on a cleanish sound at fairly "low" volume, then kick in an OD pedal for a few lead licks then back down the volume on the guitar for a cleaner sound :

Great amp ! And it looks great too !

Re: Carlsbro CS60TC Twin
Hmmm, a friend of mine's father has had a dead one of these kicking around for many, many years now (nothing but hum came out IIRC from about 20 years back). I must try to persuade him to offload it into my grubby little hands.
So I like purple, okay!!!!!!

Re: Carlsbro CS60TC Twin
Hi Bill. I have got 60TC combo the pre-rola speakers date to 1967. I am going to re-cover the cab soon. These are great tone monsters. I read somewhere this was the amp Bill Nelson of Be-bop Deluxe used with his ES 345. Enjoy!
