Swart Atomic Space Tone 6V6se
Swart · amplifier
The Swart Atomic Space Tone 6V6se runs a single-ended 6V6 output stage, which is what the SE marks. Single-ended circuits produce even-order harmonic distortion and break up earlier and more gradually than push-pull designs, giving a softer, more compressed character at lower volume — the reason small single-ended amps are prized for recording. It carries the all-tube reverb and tremolo the Swart range is built around. It suits blues and roots players who want valve breakup and genuine tube ambience at studio volume.
