Bartel Swingland 1×12-Inch 3-Watt Tube Combo Guitar Amplifier – Preorder

Experience Vintage Tube Tone in a Compact Package – The Bartel Swingland 1×12-Inch 3-Watt Tube Combo Guitar Amplifier

Bartel Signature Series amplifiers bring serious innovation and refinement to the crafting of vintage tones. They continue to stand apart from most conventional guitar amps because of their strikingly different kind of sound – deep and resonant, detailed and present – just a totally unconstricted tone. Each one is hand-built by Mark Bartel himself in his Baltimore shop.
