We noticed the toggle switch is a bit wobbly but it still works as it should.  The amp has very little play time on it and has never left the previous owners home studio.  So, it's a g\u003c\/span\u003ereat deal on a great amp!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sqsrte-text-color--accent\"\u003eThe Mercury reinvents a long-standing Carr platform to deliver snarling Marshall-esque British tones with a highly evolved feature set and surprising versatility. \u003c\/span\u003eFrom thick cleans, to punchy midrangey crunch, to wailing roar, it’s all here with attitude to spare. Rendered in a supremely portable package and able to nail all reduced-volume requirements, the Mercury brings stack-like sonic thunder to the rehearsal room, studio, and club stage.  In 2003 \u003cem\u003eVintage Guitar\u003c\/em\u003e magazine’s cover story declared the original Mercury the ‘Tone of the Gods.’  It's versatile design enabling a broad range of gain structures, voicing capabilities and output levels to tackle just about any genre or playing style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe Mercury harnesses an ingeniously original preamp circuit featuring a three-position Boost switch, and the ability to kick out a dynamic range of distinctly English tones.
