![]() I'm worried if I get the nightlight, it will no doubtably give me rediculous GAS to get another baby Swart to run them in stereo. I paid $450.00 + a used Epiphone Valve Jr. Like I said, I got mine used as well off of Craigslist. Most definitely the same lot of materials were used on both of our amps anyway. It's serial number is 123, really cool I think! Our amp's were born close enough that they can be siblings. I like to think I have the first amp Swart built in 2007. Luckily he must have been over his New Year's Eve Hangover. I was going to ask you the same question. Please let me know how that attenuator works out for you, my neighbors would appreciate it and congrats on an excellent amp, and an even better wife! I am really jonesing for an Atomic Space Tone now! When I am in a better financial situation I will replace my bigger amps, but definitely with another Swart. The thing I like most about it is of course the tone, but equally impressive is the huge 3-D sound that this little 5-watter produces. Even in the states, finding a used baby Swart is a find, no one wants to ever give them up! And even used, Michael Swart deals with me like I bought that amp new from him. If I had to sell that I would be inconsolible (yeah, my spelling sucks). Over the last year or two I have had an Egnater Rebel, Fender Blues Jr., Guitar Research T-60, but now I am left with just my baby Swart. ![]() I bought it used on Craigslist and it is the perfect amp for me. I have had a Swart Space Tone for a year or so I'd say. (I just sold my two practice amps since they wouldn't be used anymore with the Space Tone around!) Anyhow, if you get a chance to try one, do so but don't be surprised if you end up with one in your collection. (I wish I could build a cab like this for my 1 watt pink amp). The cabinet itself is a work of art tweed and lacquered, really top-notch workmanship. Little speaker sounds surprisingly big but will have to try it plugged into my Avatar 2-12 and see what it sounds like. So I have ordered a Swart Attenuator (night light) to try and keep those sweet valve tones without bothering everyone in the house. The only draw-back (if you want to call it that) is that it is LOUD for the 5 watts. ![]() Also takes pedals really well.totally transparent. ![]() Have tried it with stratocasters, telecasters, and a Gibson SG. I think my sweet-spot is about 8 on the tone setting just seems to sing at that point with just enough top end and enough mids and bottom to round things out. Each step makes for slightly different properties. Very simple controls (volume and tone) but somehow they manage to make those two controls very dynamic. (we now have a real distributor in Montreal though!!) Enter the Swart Space Tone 6V6SE. I have wanted one of these for a couple of years as a practice amp and for recording but they are hard to come by here in Canada. Greetings fellow stratophiles! Over Christmas, my lovely wife surprised me with a little gem of an amp (she found it used on one of the forums I frequent!). ![]()
