ST-45 Convertible Head
Swart's first 45-watt, fixed-bias 6L6 head, with separate bass/treble EQ and a fully convertible head shell that shows off the glowing chassis.
About this amp
The Space Tone Forty-Five is Swart’s first amp built around getting the most from a pair of 6L6 power tubes, using a fixed-bias, turret-board circuit for 45 watts of clean headroom plus tube reverb and tremolo. Its head shell is fully removable, secured by four latches, so the chassis and glowing tubes can be displayed on top of the cab.
