Swart AST Master 1x12 Combo, Blonde Tweed
New to Gelb Music is the Swart Amp Line and wow, Swart Delivers! Bypassable Master Volume - Tube Reverb / Trem, 18-20w ~ 6V6 / 6L6 / EL-34.

This is essentially the AST Head Mk II circuit and chassis placed in a custom cabinet that can house either a 1x12 or 2x10 driver option, this with top mounted controls like the STR series.  And like the AST Head II, the AST Master has a defeatable master volume and can run EL-34 along with the stock 6V6 and 6L6 family.  The larger size combo comes stock with the BV-25 but any 12" can be fitted as well as 2x10 options. So you can place your favorite 12 or 10" pair in this beast. The AST Master can also drive an external cab while running the internal speaker(s) as it has two external outputs with 4/8/16ohm selectable impedance.

Compared to the original AST circuit, the AST Master is a slightly hotter result, perhaps not quite as sweet as the AST, but with a bit more edge and a bigger sound due to large cab.

This amp had been a custom order piece so is quite rare.   It's now available in limited supply.
