ALL
TUBE - TUBE REVERB - TUBE TREMOLO
ATOMIC SPACE TONE!
-
The AC is cleaned
and rectified by the reliable JJ 5AR4, this a very robust tube providing
excellent sonics due to the total lack of solid-state circuits in the
rectification stage (SS rectification leads to a more hard/harsh tone
and slams the tubes on power-up causing excess tube wear). A heavy
duty, JJ 500V Surface mount capacitor is the mains filtering device.
-
Powered by Twin
JJ 6v6's putting out 18-22 cathode biased Watts; the twin 6V6s seem to
really put out an amazing mixture of soul~tone. We love this combo!
(You can also sub 6L6s for a bit more headroom due to the extra beefy
Heyboer Power Transformer,
-
A 12AX7 does duty
as the driver and bias regulated Tremolo. Ever heard tube tremolo?
You will now. Simply put, if you're a tremolo fan, you won't go
back.
-
Reverb is all
tube. Tube Reverb is the only way to go and our implementation leaves
the competition sounding two-dimensional.
-
The first preamp
tube is another dedicated rocking 12AX7 to drive this beast to Mount St.
Helens and back. Our whole driver/preamp circuit has been
optimized from months of testing. The AST sings like no other.

Swart comments on his latest amplifier:
The idea of the Atomic Space Tone hit me when I was working on a vintage Gibson
Scout guitar amp. It had Reverb, Tremolo, and 15 watts of pure rocking vintage
tone power but only three preamp tubes and two EL-84 output tubes. I thought
to my self - I have never seen an amp that could do so much with so little
and sound surprisingly good. But I knew it could be even better. I knew something
could be built revolving around my favorite little tone generator, the 6V6.
I sent a note of thanks to my cohort for the inspiration for one of the best
amplifiers I have ever built and the only thing I have found to equal the
soul and amazing tone of the ST-6V6se but with MORE power.
I call it the ATOMIC SPACE TONE. And damn if it's not a winner - this beast
sounds amazing.
This amp brings more tube soul than I thought possible, even compared to some
of my favorite vintage amps. We are talking ALL TUBE circuitry, even the Tremolo
and Reverb, all leading into the excellent 12" Mojotone BV-25m speaker.
I am actually so excited
by this amp both aurally and visually. It's the second in our Tweed Series
which takes our excellent finger jointed pine cabinet and covers it with top
quality tweed, adding a lacquer to give it durability and that vintage, timeless
look. We then add a rich, dark lacuer tweed on the sides which gives this
amp a totally distinctive appearance. When we play out with this beast, everyone
that "knows" comes up to inquire about the AST, this on the sound
AND looks. Just like the original ST-6V6se, there is nothing out there like
it.
