Not sure if that's any good?

Thats a Mercury NOT a mercury V........they are completely different
Goodness knows why they didn't give it a totally different name.......it's just confusing

@p_jay78 thanks for the heads up mate but like @Dominic said it's the V version I'm after.
Thanks both.

@ ;

I've not played the Mercury V but used to have the original Mercury, loved it and sold it like the idiot that I am.  I've recently bought Dominic's Carr Bloke which has 2 options, EL34s at 48 watts or 6V6s at 22 watts.  With the 6V6s in it sounds very original Mercury to me, almost a Plexi ,cranked Fender cross (bloody loud though !).  If you are ever down Dorset way you are welcome to come and have a play as you may be able to pick up a Bloke for a better price.

Cheers

@DrCornelius that's a very kind offer, thank you. Unfortunately Dorset is a long way from me. I think I've made my mind up on the Mercury V though. I have heard sound clips and read lots of reviews of the Bloke and it's very nice but the V has the edge on it for my tastes. I'm hoping it will be the last amp I buy.
thanks again.

Best of luck mate they do look and sound gorgeous for sure

@Wazmeister ; I've not really noticed  Yours looks gorgeous in that finish. There is one thing  I would like to know that was a slight concern. What kind of headroom is there on on the cleanest setting? Thanks in advance.

@DrCornelius thanks mate.

Irrespective of which model best suits somebody's need or preferred sound /type ......I think in all models ,shapes and sizes that Carr is the best of the best .They are superbly well made, they all sound brilliant and they are not to knobby......ie too complicated with too many twiddly bits needed to get it dialled in.

@Dominic if only I could get one
