    Coda are useful on Swarts. Don't see them secondhand too often but you can go on Coda's mailing list

    As Treewig1 says... Coda stock Swarts. They also stock Carrs... so you could try both manufacturers' products in one location.

    No problem... it's just your post said 'looking for a new etc etc'

    Good luck with your hunt.

    Hi, I know you said you were after a Swart or Carr but maybe you wod be interested in a Divided by 13?

    That looks nice!  I'm really after one of the amps I played recently.  Just about all the Carrs were nice!  I really liked the Sportsman though.  Or a Swart Tremolo or AST would be ideal.

    Sportsman would be my choice mate. A lovely sweet, warm tone...

    @johnperry and @smogfalls will fill you in with more info I'm sure

    In my view the Strymon Flint trem is very close to the Swart's. Don't let that seductive trem alone sell you a Swart, as I nearly did. The Carr Sportsman is sublime, as Waz says. Sweetest of the Carrs I've owned, though they all had different strengths

    I have got an AST II master volume combo in the big cab with the upgraded Celestion G12H speaker that you can have for £1500 ovno.

    I am in full agreement on the Sportsman front. Best amp I've ever played... including my vintage princetons. Its the closest thing to a perfect amp in my opinion and I've tried sooooo many!!!
    I use a simple little Lovepedal babyface trem for mine and it does the job perfectly. When compared side by side with the trem on my 69 Princeton it's extremely close!! I used to own a Swart AST and theres absolutely no comparison if you're into beautiful clean and mildly overdriven tones... the Sportsman is AMAZING!
