![]() If they epoxied the guts you couldn't take it to a qualified tech, you'd have to send it back to Swart. Covering that all with epoxy would be a huge pain in the ass.Īlso, right on the back of the amp it's printed "caution - danger of fatal electric shock - no user servicable parts inside - take to a qualified technicican for service". Also there aren't any circuit boards inside them, it's all point-to-point wired turretboard work. I'm not sure about the epoxied circuit thing, I talk to the Swart guys fairly often and never heard anything like that. Lol, not trying to torture anyone, trust me. ![]() The new AST's apparently all have epoxied circuit boards so you can't read anything. Remember this Muff: if you want some $cash$money$ I will pay for more detailed gut shots. What did I do to deserve such taunting? Is it becaus eI'm trying to copy the awesomeness of the AST? I have most of my parts, still trying to guess at the circuit, but I think I have something that will work. I moved the original plastic logo to the back (where I think it looks cool) and put the metal badge on the front, and I'm glad I did, I think it looks killer.īut the most important moment came when I loaded them both up with the same tubes, used an A/B pedal to make sure they were both the same volume and tone and slight reverb level. they weren't sure it would look cool or not so they shipped the amp with the normal plastic Swart logo on the front, and included an extra AST metal badge and some screws. I also wanted the original AST metal badge on the front of the head. II means it is using a different output transformer than the Mk.I, so I had mine built with the original AST output tranny, foregoing the option to have selectable impedance. but I had some small changes made to it.īecause I'm using the two amps in a pseudo-stereo setup, I wanted the circits as similar as I could - the output impedance selector on the Mk. AST Mk.II #77 was once a standard Mk.II (which is the same circut as the original AST, with the addition of a bypassable, tube-driven master volume, and the addition of selectable output impedance, since it is a head after all). I've just received the head, which has been in the works for a little while. ![]() I've had the 2x12 cab for about a year now, it's the only one Swart has ever made in the AST color scheme, and the only one they've ever outfitted with Celestion Blue's The two parts in the stack are both a bit special - it's basically a custom AST Mk.II head, with some changes I requested, and a custom cabinet. ![]() The little combo is the same AST from previously in the thread - it's a standard AST with a bunch of NOS tubes in it and the modded back panel with the larger port and switchable external speaker jack. Well, not that suddenly actually, this has been in the works a long time. I accidentally a stereo Atomic Space Tone setup ![]()
