Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
From Swart Amplifiers
Yep, the STR-Tremolo will have the same soul and basic circuit as the STR-Tweed, just with:
-The addition of a great tremolo stage
(along with a revised and more surf Zone Reverb Stage)
-The addition of a 3 way EQ Switch that makes
the STR-Trem more flexible
-Available in the original STR "Tuxedo" 60s style
or the AST Style Tweed cab.
Push comes to shove, I think the STR-Tremolo does have a touch less gain than the STR-Treed as the Tremolo section will take place of the extra gain stage in half of the 12AX7. On the other hand, it will still have much of the STR-Tweed's great tone, immediacy, growl, and touch sensitivity. Drop in the Atomic Boost, and you get it back and more. I really dig this amp and have been playing it daily since we finally got it off the bench.
