Swart Atomic Space Tone BV25

Swart · amplifier

The Swart Atomic Space Tone is a hand-wired 18-watt 6V6 combo inspired by a vintage Gibson Scout, carrying all-tube reverb and tremolo built from high-grade components rather than the solid-state circuits most makers use at this price. Its voice is punchy and clear, warming single-coils while mellowing humbuckers, which is an unusual balance and much of why the amp developed a following. The BV25 designation marks a configuration within the Atomic Space Tone family. It suits blues, roots and indie players who want valve-generated reverb and tremolo as an integral part of the sound.
