Space Tone 6V6se
Class A - Single-Ended
- 6V6 - Tube Rectified
The Swart Amplifier Co Space Tone 6V6se arose out of musician/recording engineer
Michael Swart's attempt to get the most tone and soul from a small, easily
manageable package for home/studio use. The result is a stellar amplifier
that surpassed ALL expectations.
The Space Tone amplifier is inspired by Classic designs from the single-ended
ALL VALVE era 50's. The Circuit is a customized Fender Princeton 5F2/5F1 Champ
derivative that borrows the best from both topologies. The tone and clean
to distortion characteristics are excellent.
The Supro inspired cabinet, made by woodworker Clark Thomas, is finger jointed
pine and covered with select fabric that combines good wear with vintage style.
We will also cover your amp with your own upholstery of choice at no extra
charge for a completely unique amp.
The ST-6V6se circuit is hand wired, point to point by Michael Swart. There
are no Circuit or turret boards resulting in the most direct path. Cloth wire
is used for hookup. Simply put, there are no semiconductors or solid state
diodes anywhere as the Space Tone is 100% valve powered. Tubes include the
excellent JJ 12AX7, Electro-Harmonix 6V6GT, and NOS 5Y3. It's a Pure triode
front end into the great 6V6 all cleaned by 5Y3 tube rectification. All tube
designs disappeared because of the extra expense and the emergence of ultra-cheap
solid state diodes. We feel that eliminating ALL solid state devices is necessary
to get the BEST tone without the harsh, metallic sound of solid state.
Sound is amazingly BIG. Go from super clean to TUBE distortion with the turn
of the volume knob.
