Swart Antares 18w 1 x 12" Hand-Wired Tube Combo - Black and Tan
Introducing the All New Antares
Michael Swart took some of the best qualities of the MOD84 and Atomic Space Tone to create this new Tone Monster Twin 6V6/6L6; 3-way EQ; Tube Reverb/Tremolo; Tube Rectification 5AR4/5Y3/5U4; amplifier with holographic, harmonically rich cleans with excellent power tube reak-up when pushed.
After eight months of development, the latest greatest beast is currently under the iron, cabinets in the making, soon to be on the floor of Motor City Guitar. Michael's all fired up about this new amp.
So take some of the favorite qualities from the MOD84 and mix it with some favorite takes from the AST with that venerable 6V6/6L6 3D holographic, ethereal voodoo... What do you get? Frankly, it's like no other Swart while being like EVERY Swart. It's the ANTARES and you'll be smitten with this newest beast of the Swart family.
It's more than an 18w AST on steroids, more than an AST with top mounted controls. It's the Swart Magic worked on twin, push-pull 6V6 with a bit bigger reverb, deeper bottom-end foundation, with a new custom output transformer borrowed from the MOD84 Lineage. It has the Swart killer three-way EQ ala STR-Tremolo, their single-ended favorite. Toss in the AST's all time favorite, uber sweet tube bias tremolo and you have the makings of an addiction. And yes, it does have top mounted controls for easy access. And to top it off, it's all housed within an all new Pine cab with tilted back baffle.
