Description
Ok, so what does it REALLY sound like? The MOD84 has some of the best composed, yet soulful, cleans we’ve seen in our shop but with the ability to intertwine some fur and angst with some push and attack. It’s got that Swart harmonic richness while still being open and transparent with that great Swart touch sensitivity. This is really a do it all amp that can cross many musical genres. It’s literally been a hit with everyone that tries it and it almost defies a pat description as it sounds quite different from the “stock” EL-84 stereotype, almost mixing a bit of American and British into something truly unique. As you can tell, we’re diggin’ this one.

And we know that some of you cant do without your top mounted controls so the MOD84 will please on that front. See the control layout below.
And like all Swart amps, this is a hand-made, finger jointed pine cabinet with open back, sounding very sweet, warm, and lush but with excellent detail and articulation…that is, NATURAL articulation, not hyper unnatural detail. This has that major Swart holographic take, that kind of result that reveals itself late night when the power grid is low use… This is just a killer sounding amp that can cut through the mix in a band setting while still being able to sound intimate with your varying touch sensitivity and use of volume.
Our favorite combination is a single 12″ speaker and we have some great options, including the Celestion Creamback, Anniversary, BLue, and Gold. While those are some of our favorites, we can take individual speaker preferences. In addition, this cab can be a 2×10.
And for a limited run, or until supplies run out, we are covering the MOD84 with a variety of options, at NO EXTRA CHARGE. IF you want out traditional TWEED, it will be $100 extra.
We hope you can get down to your nearest Swart dealer to try one of these beasts outs. We’ll be getting more samples soon but for now, take a look listen to Brett & Renn giving it a go late night at the Swart Studio.
