Swart STR-Tremolo Tuxedo

I actually tried the STR-Trem with and without an Atomic Boost and loved it both ways.  Of note, the new cabs are a touch deeper to fit the Celestion Blue and Gold or many other slightly deeper speakers.  I thought the Celestion Blue was AMAZING in the amp but did have a bit less bottom fullness at lower levels, much like any alnico vs a good ceramic.  The BV-30 is such a great compromise of tone, great breakup, and nice fullness for a 5w single-ended design. But we also REALLY dig the Celetsion Creamback in this amp (my personal favorite if going with a ceramic. ***Dig the take of a Blue in the TUX cabinet*** ~ kh) I loved the 3-way switch when you needed to back down some of the added lower end fullness when pushing the amp hard.  Drop it back in with a bit lower volume and it's a pleasant extra bit of lower end richness.This amp just sounds so great when cranked, though.  The overdriven STR-Trem is just addictive with a lot of complexity and swirl.  And it allows you to hear the difference in guitars instead of turning every axe into more of the same.  I'd say that's a great trait of all Swart amps and the STR-Tremolo continues the tradition with aplomb.As for the tremolo, it's not easy to get great trem with low wattage single-ended designs and this is among the best I've personally heard, with a nice range of speed and good depth.    But the amp sounds great with it off, too.   Back the depth to zero and let her rip and you'll be grinning ear to ear.
