And, if you'll excuse the iPhone recording and equally low-tech playing - here's the amp in action:

Just watched the vid - sounds great Dave. Crisp and articulate tone that sits well in the mix. Straight up speaker sound, or did you have it mic'd?

@Chester ...

Thanks for the feedback, mate - much appreciated. The amp certainly does sit well in the mix.

Just running it around three quarters for natural break-up in bypass mode (non-MV), which is indeed crisp and articulate - and not mic'd (just the sound in the room from the speaker). It's very much what this amp is about and, as it's a slightly oversized combo cabinet, it does fill the space in the room.

Running a Klone in front for the lead sections.

Mid-week bump for seriously great vintage tone . . .

Weekend bump ...

Midweek bump and likely final price drop to 1200, which is what I've been offered px at Coda.

All your hand-wired Swart tone in "as new" condition with a hefty saving off new  . . .

If I had the money I'd of snapped your hand off.

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks, Dan - needless to say, let me know if circumstances change.

Final bump on here after a recent spell of having my time wasted.

Price now 1100 GBP.

Seriously good amp, massive saving to be had on what I paid last year (2.2k) and what these are now priced at (2.5k!).

Perfect condition, serviced, new valves, all original packaging and "case candy" - complete with foot switch (for valve-driven spring reverb and tremolo).

Seriously great tone - old school approach is to operate it in bypass mode and just crank it up to suit, or use the MV at home (no attenuator needed here).

Over-sized cab to the other comparable Swart AST amps (nothing "boxy" about this tone) and essentially the same circuit as those amps (with the addition of the hard-switchable MV / bypass mode).

Maybe if it was a Carr?
