Ask Big Swifty

Dear Big Swifty,

Why do your boutique guitar amplifiers sound so good to my ears?

Signed, Dumbo

Big Swifty uses only simple components such as resistors, capacitors, transformers, electron tubes, wire, and potentiometers. These simple components enable straightforward circuit paths, allowing the True Tone of your guitars to shine through in our hand built guitar amps.

Dear Big Swifty,

Light weight? I thought quality amps have to be heavy to be sturdy.

Signed, Dr. A. Juster - Chiropractor

After Big Swifty suffered a triple hernia while rolling onto life’s back nine, he realized the need for lighter quality guitar amps. As those over the magic Age of Enlightenment understand, great things come in lighter packages. Simple components mounted in simple pine enclosures with neo speakers make for a very light load in our boutique guitar amplifiers.

Dear Big Swifty,

I was playing a gig with your 5e3 amp, and on break, my girlfriend caught me necking with a pretty bartender. As a result, she tossed the Big Swifty amp in the Cedar River. Is the amp covered under warranty?

Signed, F. Massingill

Big Swifty recommends you give up guitar playing and take up bag making. And, no, the amp is not covered for liquid submersion.

Dear Big Swifty,

Why only tubes?

Signed, W. Shockley

Tubes are part of the magical interaction that starts with steel strings vibrating across a magnetized coil of wire and ends up vibrating a cone of paper from another magnetized coil to create that golden sound known as True Tone. The heat, the glow, and the flow of electrons in our tube sound amplifiers - nothing in the digitized age can reproduce this vital interaction.

Dear Big Swifty,

What kind of music sounds best on a 5e3 amp?

Signed, T. T.

Big Swifty amps sound great with all genres of guitar music. They especially shine with Rockabilly, Indie, and Classic Rock. Blues, R&B, and Soul also have a special place in the Big Swifty sound stage too.
