This demo video by Sam Vilo is the best demonstration of what this amp sounds like with a Les Paul:


Includes Swart Night Light Attenuator installed. Description from Swart’s website:

Smaller is better sometimes. In this case, the Night Light Jr attenuator packs a punch in a tiny package. We wanted something to hide in the port of the ST-6V6se, Atomic Jr, STR-Tweed, and STR-Tremolo. Something more simple, bare bones, something designed for the low watt sect. The first 25 Night Light Jr are sitting here waiting to be mounted within our low watt amps or tossed within any 4-8ohm amp that is 15w or less. Sounds sublime and even has some of the Night Light Blue Magic while at work. Less features than our main Night Light and really designed for mounting vs stand alone. But we're really digging this little beast and loving the way it brings that Swart Low Watt breakup at more manageable levels for those in need inside the smaller combos. Will be able to be custom ordered within our amps soon, too!

$1,300 or straight up trade for a 2019-2021 Les Paul Junior in Ebony finish. Also interested in a Marshall 1974x (with a little cash from my end).
Local deal preferred (Northern New Jersey) but will ship at buyers expense. PM me and I can find out what actual shipping costs will be, depending on your location.
