oh, i want a swart so bad! congrats on these! similar taste

What's the deal with Swart? I mean, other than being expensive. Why do people like them? What kind of amp are they?

considered picking up a third, but unfortunately came to my senses

these particular swarts are basically modded/boutique-ized tweed champs/princetons
negative feedback switch lets you go from champ (rawer, brighter) to princeton (more compressed, darker, my preferred setting)

why I like them: they project REALLY well, and fill the room nicely
big acoustics, small package, lots of character
just the right volume for me

I wish I could get into them. Even the Champs are too loud for my needs, (need separate volume/gain) and I never really liked Fender distortion..

Hottest itty bitty amp collection ever. Seriously.

I might as well hit all the the "LETS SEE YOUR" threads today.



It's an Ampeg Jet Reverb II. 12" speaker and two EL84's cooking in the back. Oh, and spring reverb

Sweet sound. I was able to crank it in the store, but won't be able to at home. Getting a Weber attenuator with headphone tap to quiet it down.

I have the trem model, I got it new in 97ish.... and have never had a prob with it

It's not super fancy but it's enough and I'm certainly happy with it. The Hartke 410 will eventually have its spot filled by a Monolith 415 if I can ever amass that much money at one time, but I have no desire to replace the VB-2.

Yeah the Christmas lights do give me some annoying hum with high gain, but it's really just part of the "ambiance" because the wooden shutters right next to me rattle the entire time I'm playing anyway
It's really weird when I play in any other room but this. All those sounds aren't there -- my shutter squeak highs aren't there!

i fucking love christmas lights all over my amp

i make it rain christmas lights

Likewise, there's this one bar my band always plays and the band area is in this dark part of the room and I have white christmas lights I just drape all over my amp

MIDI SYNC DEM LIGHTS

You play guitar through a bass cabinet?

Note the bass.
