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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e I call it the ATOMIC SPACE TONE. And damn if it's not a winner - this beast sounds amazing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan color=\"#339966\" style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" style=\"color: #142747;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wattage:\u003c\/b\u003e  18-22 Watts depending on tube configuration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Preamp Tubes:\u003c\/b\u003e  2 x 12AX7 and 1 x 12DW7 (for reverb)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePower Tubes:\u003c\/b\u003e    2 x 6V6   (can also use 2 x 6L6)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eRectifier Tube:\u003c\/b\u003e   5AR4\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSpeaker:\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e12\" Mojotone British Vintage Series BV-25m\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 18\" Tall  x  15.5\" Wide  x  9.5\" Deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e  29 lbs \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#f03d04\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #f03d04; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Additional Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747;\"\u003ePoint to Point - All Hand Wired - Hand Built in the USA!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747;\"\u003eTube tremolo and tube reverb circuit for superior audio massiveness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eOutput transformers are custom designed by Swart and built by HeyBoer USA - The *new* leader\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eCarbon Comp Resistors.  Need we say more?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eMallory, Sprague and JJ Caps - only the best, all considered for their appropriate roles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eThe best silver tinned cloth and Teflon covered wire that can be found\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eStandby Switch incorporated into the design to extend tube life\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eHigh and low inputs for high and low output pickups\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eDedicated foot switch (included) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eHand-made, finger jointed solid pine cab (an integral part of the tone) - Many were tested, and this one excelled!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan color=\"#f03d04\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #f03d04; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOptional configurations:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" style=\"color: #142747;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePro NL Panel\u003c\/b\u003e - This is an optional rear panel that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"padding: 0px; color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\" color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\"\u003emakes it virtually painless to drive an external cab, bypassing the internal speaker (8ohm output).
