Swart  Atomic Space Tone
AST owner Jeff Engelbert

Michael -

Ok I have to let you know how my first gig with the AST went last night.

I had been without my Tom Anderson Cobra for the last few weeks waiting for a tone pot from Anderson. I got it back Wednesday. I am also looking at buying a friend of mines Hollow-T Classic. He let me take it for a test drive at my gig last night before we finalize the deal.

It was like dying and going to heaven. Some of my friends and fellow local musicians know that I have a reputation as a hardcore tone freak and always want to sound better and better. Last night they were all blown away. My sound man is also a musician and he was amazed at the AST. Every guitar you plug into it sounds the best it ever has.

I used the stock set up with the 6V6 tubes. I couldnt have hit it out of the park any better. I set the volume just past ¾ and rarely used my Exotic BB Pre-Amp pedal. Just using the natural overdrive sound of the amp it was tonal nirvana. The Cobra roared like it should and the Hollow-T had that great Tele snap when and where I needed it.

Vintage gear is all well and good but I would challenge anyone, anywhere, at any level to get the sound I had last night with Atomic Space Tone my two Andersons and my customized “Shell Pink” 62 Fender Strat reissue. We didn’t record last night’s gig but we will in two weeks. I send you a sound sample and let you hear it.
Thanks for making such a great amp. I couldn’t peel the smile off my face last night.



Got the Atomic Boost Today! Couldn’t wait to get home and try it with my AST. I thought “Good Lord” what has Michael done. Diminished mydesire to work and increased my wants and needs to play. I’m so looking forward to next weeks gig.

I will never have to worry about my tone ever again. I am now a crusader for your stuff.

Thanks again!
