This amp was attractive to me for three reasons: 1. it sounded very good to me on the you tube reviews I listened to 2. It was a well built simple handwired tube circuit producing 20 watts 3. It's a light weight and beautiful unit. But it's always hard to know for sure how a guitar amp will sound until you get it on stage with your equipment. I was pleasantly surprised by the Swart. It produced shimmering cleans and took the signal from an overdrive pedal and turned it into a singing sweet tone. I've had the amp about two months and I grow more fond of it every day. The Atomic Space Tone comes with a superb reverb circuit and one of the best tremelo circuits I've ever heard. I was never a big fan of tremelo and only used it in songs that required the effect. Now...I'm finding places for tremelo. A more lush musical tremelo would be hard to find. Just a touch of the tremelo makes chords float. It's beautiful. For roots rock, Americana, blues, vintage tones, jazz, or classic American rock tones this is a good choice. Easy to move, easy to dial in, and easy to listen to. It's a great grab and go amp, with excellent clarity and tightness in the low end. If you turn it up it will get a little dirt that can be controlled with the guitars volume pot. My only complaint is the design of the control placement that has the chicken head knobs protruding beyond the cabinet in the back. This amp will require a case that protects the controls if it's going to be moved much. As it is, I have to move it in the back seat of car. Even a D2F or similar cover cannot stop the knobs from taking impact first if something bumps into the back of this amp. As far as I can tell, no road case exists for this amp. One other thing, the amp uses an oddball tube for reverb. So buy an extra. Bottom line, if this amp was stolen, I'd buy another one. I'm thinking about buying another one anyway. They're that good. I own other amps. A Carr Slant 6, a Deluxe reverb, a JTM 50, and Bogner Goldfinger Combo. The Marshall and the Bogner both sound great but for me they are too heavy, and too powerful. The Carr is the only amp I'm keeping and that's because it's a reliable old friend. But it will stay in the truck as a backup. My new best friend is the rich sounding, portable and pretty Swart Atomic Space Tone.Read full review
These are nice covers. They protect the amps from dust and moisture. I bought these for three different amplifiers and they all fit perfectly.

I have had many Fender amps tweed, brown, blackface & silverface. The Deluxe reverb being my all time favorite. The Swart Atomic Space Tone is a beautiful tone machine. Blues, Jazz, Country, Pop, & Rock are no problem. This is a Blackface Deluxe Reverb without the problems of a vintage amp. Small, compact, & powerful, with beautiful full rich tube tone. Install NOS tubes & you will experience tone heaven.
I have a lot of amps. This one is very nice and smooth, not harsh. It does not have a lot of headroom, but responds well to your guitar volume knob. It is a fun amp to play, very fluid sound. The reverb and tremelo are very good. It is pricy, but I would recommend this amp. Not sure if it would cut it with a hard hitting drummer. Of course if you mike it, you will be fine. Crank it up and it is a good time.
Great amp. Looks great and sounds great. Best reverb I have heard in an amp. Can play everything from jazz to heavy rock.
