Swart Antares Master STR Cabinet with Celestion G12 Creamback

The Antares shares the legendary Atomic Space Tone’s attitude while being designed for those who crave a bit more headroom, bottom-end foundation, and bigger verb. Imagine the hallmark Swart 3D holographic, harmonic richness (anti syrupy or slow), partnered with that Swart transparency and touch sensitivity. Push it harder and you get that amazing breakup. An Antares owner noted, “The bottom end is really rich and hefty but still composed while the cleans are so sweet, clear, and vocal; push hard for that lush breakup.” The circuit features all-tube reverb and tremolo along with tube rectification; no solid state hardness or glare with this beast. Includes 3-Way EQ and high/low inputs to match guitar output. All pine, finger-jointed, hand-made, tilted back baffle. Cabinet comes in a host of tweed & tolex options

It's more than an 18w AST on steroids, more than an AST with top mounted controls. It's the Swart Magic worked on twin, push-pull 6V6 with a bit bigger reverb, deeper bottom-end foundation, with a new custom output transformer borrowed from the MOD84 Lineage. It has the Swart killer three-way EQ ala STR-Tremolo,their single-ended favorite. Toss in the AST's all time favorite, über sweet tube bias tremolo and you have the makings of an addiction. And yes, it does have top mounted controls for easy access.
