No but I've played the AST and owned a Skylark.
AST, I would say you really need an attenuator - the night light from Swart is excellent (think that's the name).
I spent a day at Coda with a decibel meter testing one with Carr amps too.
The Swart sounded amazing once I had the attenuation and could crank the amp and control the volume externally.
I walked away with a Carr Skylark, cost more money - but much more flexible, a massive range of sounds and built in attenuation.
On the Skylark - I used it at home in a flat for 18 months, wonderful amp
Its definitely worth looking at the new Lazy J J10LC too – it works brilliantly at sensible volumes and does everything from harmonically rich cleans to fuzzy 5E3 meltdown.
Great amp, but I found mine a touch mid-heavy (maybe by design) at low settings, and so perhaps not distortion pedal friendly if you want more gain at home.
Wound-up at a gig and using your guitar to ride the volume (in either setting) makes for great tone.
Not cheap if buying new, though.
