Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

The Swart Space Tone Stereo Head with matching 2x12 cabinet is an inspiring, dimension-rich rig that turns every note into an experience. Dual 5-watt Class A tube circuits deliver wide, harmonically complex stereo tone, each side independently voiced for nuanced control and expressive layering. Lush Space reverb and tremolo add movement and atmosphere, while the angled 2x12 cab fills the room with depth and clarity. Compact, thoughtfully engineered, and unmistakably musical, this Swart setup is a serious long-term investment—crafted to reward touch, creativity, and careful listening for years to come.

From Swart Amplifiers

This is literally two separate 5w Class A Single Ended amplifiers in one chassis with the ability to drive two cabinets in stereo. Each has own volume and tone. The reverb and tremolo is divided between the two amps and the stereo effect is really amazing. You can power TWO separate cabinets with as much stereo separation as you desire or use your new stereo 2x12 cabinet with inputs to allow for one amp to drive each speaker. The speakers are directional at a near 45 degree angle OUT, further enhancing the effect.

A bit of tremolo bouncing around gives this beast an almost 3D quality and the resulting sound is HUGE, bordering on larger than life. It’s very atmospheric and compelling and almost always draws comments from those in the room.

How loud? Well, you are only running two 5w amps, side by side but imagine the surprise when the resulting sound is about as large as the AST result. It’s big, room filling, and amazingly LUSH with oodles of TONE. It will breakup a bit earlier than the AST Mk II or AST, but this can be a good thing. TWO separate cabinets spread apart is something to behold. And to have this in one box and a REAL amp and not a digital effect illustrates just HOW different the REAL THING can be vs a simulation.
