Swingland
A compact studio/home amplifier designed to deliver the body and dynamics of a larger vintage amp at low output, with tube-driven spring reverb and line-out capability.
Purist tube circuits, solid-wood acoustic cabinetry and uncompromising handwork by designer Mark Bartel.
Bartel Amplifiers was founded by designer Mark Bartel after decades in amplifier development, including founding Tone King in 1993. The company is devoted to masterbuilt amplifiers with purist all-tube, handwired circuits and finely tuned solid-wood cabinets.
Each amplifier is built by Mark Bartel in his Baltimore, Maryland workshop. The design approach treats the cabinet and circuit as parts of a responsive musical instrument, using innovations such as Multi-Voice preamps, interstage-transformer phase-inverter designs and highly transparent master-volume control.
Bartel’s official site currently presents one new low-output model, Swingland, alongside the Roseland, Starwood and Sugarland Signature/legacy designs. These four amplifier models are listed below.
