I like the Swart, it's good at what it does. It's very "Fender Tweed" but with built in reverb. That was key thing for me; at the time, I was
looking for a small, low wattage combo but it needed to have built in reverb (most reverb pedals suck). It's a loud beast though, for a small amp. The AC
15 isn't vintage, it's just a run of the mill AC 15 CC1. I really, really like it though. I don't know that I'll even upgrade the speaker to a
blue Celestion. I like the sound of the Wharfdale that's in it. I'm stoked that my AC4 will be here soon though. It's funny, as I was a dyed in the
wool Fender amp guy for the longest time, and I finally warmed up to the Vox stuff this year at NAMM after getting to mess around with some stuff. I can't
believe what I'd been missing all these years. I sold my DRRI and bought the AC 15 AND the AC 4. I've also got a Fender "evil" Twin. One of
the old red knobbed twins from the 80s. It's got good tone, but that sucker is LOUD. Robben Ford played them for quite a while.
