I've heard nothing but great things about Swart but in all fairness RJ could make a Mickey Mouse guitar into a tincan sound amazing.

Too true, but ALL of the decent clips I've heard sound stellar. I'm going to Ludlow Guitars tomorrow to try this out!

I played the little Space Tone at Truetone Music, and was surprised how addictive it was to play. Pretty fat sounding for a little amp.

I've been gazing at this new 30W one recently, although it's not cheap.

Black tweed and gray tweed look so badass I can't believe Fender doesn't use those two all the time! Black laquered tweed looks so cool.

5 Watts is not little to me!
That seems to be a fair asking price for that particular amp. I am looking for something to compliment my 2 Watt amp. The two other front runners are a Dr Z Prescription Jr and Komet K19.

My brother Bruce helped design the reverb circuit on the Swarts that have spring reverb. Bruce and Michael are buddies.

Interesting.

If all goes to plan, I will have an important client meeting in the LES today ... on Ludlow St, in fact ... with a "Mr Swart".

I love Swart amps! I've played them all, and I really like the AST MKII head/cab, and the STR-Tweed.

Check out this clip of the MKII head, matching 1X12 cab with a Mojo BV25 speaker. I've played it with a LP, Strat, Tele, and they all sound amazing through this amp. The SST-30 and MKII Swarts are just sick!

Another with a Les Paul showing how it takes over drive pedals. It doesn't really need a drive pedal in master volume mode.

Let us know how the meeting goes TO. One thing I have noticed about the Swart's, they seem to record very well.

Oh **** that is very cool. Might have to stop by the Zoo and check it out.

Thanks for that "sleepwalk" clip twilight. Best tune ever.

Well, stupid work keeps interfering with my auditioning of this amp! I hope to get down there after work today...

I'm sure they're nice amps, but all I see on that website is a hell of a lot of marketing speak. You're going to get similar tones out of any quality 5F1/5F2/5E3 style amp.

My favourite part was the bit about "no harsh-sounding solid state diodes" in the rectifier.

It's pretty sad that there are people who will fall for a line like that.

I also loved the part about, "rendering solid state amplification sterile." Wow, solid state amplifier makers better watch out cause Swart Amp Co is gunning for them!
