Swing into this! The Bartel Amps Swingland is a mighty 3w combo amp that punches WAY above its weight. This think is loud, harmonically rich, and super fun to play. Sometimes you just need a low wattage amp you can crank to the max and not kill everyone in a 20-mile vicinity. Great for studio recording, home use, and even with a drummer if you can get them to settle down a bit. Check it out!
FROM BARTEL AMPS:
After nearly three years of development, the Swingland grew out of a single question I kept coming back to: how to capture the harmonic complexity and playing experience of a high-powered vintage amplifier at genuinely low listening levels. The result is an original circuit architecture that treats low-volume performance as a primary design problem, rather than an add-on to a conventional design.
The Swingland’s proprietary design architecture is engineered to shape the harmonic content, dynamics, and touch response and add refinement and expression while maintaining all the color and character that define vintage tube amp tone. It goes beyond the usual treatments such as master volume circuits, power scaling, and attenuators in its ability to get the harmonic content right, eliminate harshness, and deliver an engaging and satisfying playing experience even at very low volume.
That same design approach also shapes how the Swingland voices a wide range of classic tones. The new preamp design makes it easy to dial in a wide range of classic voicings reminiscent of popular amps of the 50s, 60s, and 70s using its wide-ranging midrange voicing control and tilt-eq style tone control. Additional controls such as presence, harmonic balance, and headroom provide fine control over tonal detail.
Features such as tube-driven spring reverb and line-out capability round out the design, giving the Swingland the versatility required for both home playing and serious studio use.
