Looking to sell my Swart Space Tone Reverb Tweed in Dark Tweed - This sound is unique, yet familiar. Tweed sound in its blood - with a reverb that is out of its world. 5 watts, through a 12 inch speaker sounds huge. I have the opportunity to pick up a vintage tweed, so I gotta move this.

The point to point, hand-wired STR-Tweed has three driver/preamp tubes comprised of two 12AX7s and one 12DW7 with a parallel Reverb stage utilizing the 12DW7 & 12AX7, providing the circuit with virtually zero insertion loss. And like all Swart amplifiers, the STR-Tweed is tube rectified by the JJ 5AR4/GZ34 for the best AC filtering bringing great compression and tone, avoiding the typical solid state harshness that seems to ride along with solid state rectification. Try a vintage 5Y3 for a bit more SAG and less voltage on the power tubes.
