Hey folks. I'm considering making an amp change for my lower volume gigs and stuff around the house and studio. I have several bigger amps, so it isn't needing to do double duty. Right now I'm playing a Clark Beaufort 5E3 in this role. It does a great job. I've picked up another gig that really needs amp trem and verb so I've been pondering picking up a Princeton Reverb. I've done some tracking with a PR and dig what it can do in the studio. I guess my question is... I'm thinking that the Swart is kind of a blend of those two amps but slightly louder, is that right? I've only really played an AST once for few seconds... not really enough time to figure anything out. I'm trying to decide if I'd rather have the 2 amps (5E3 and PR) or if the Swart will get me enough of each to satisfy me. How does the AST sound with humbuckers, p90's and fitertrons? I know it'll sound great with my tele. Is it somewhere in between tweed and blackface tonally?? If so i think it might be perfect for me.
