SWR SM-400 1985 - With Limiter & Bi-amping.

Hello, I am Chris, a professional bassist since 1978, I am also an amp tech. I purchased this amplifier head with the 4x10 Goliath (not part of deal) cabinet in 1985 in Los Angeles, and it has remained my primary rig throughout my career. Included are a soft-shell over-the-shoulder carrying case, the original manual, and a unique promotional brochure. The amplifier offers numerous advanced features, which are detailed in pictures 13 & 14. This unit predates Fender’s acquisition of SWR, meaning Steve Rabe personally supervised its construction. Following Fender's purchase of SWR in 2003, significant changes were made to the product line.

A standout feature of this amplifier is its ability to saturate the tube preamp, providing exceptional limiting and compression not commonly found elsewhere. Also, its Bi-amping capability. Stereo amp, built in X-over and balance control.I invite you to view my two-minute demonstration video (link at end of pictures) that showcases these capability. I am selling this equipment due to retirement from live performance. The amp is in flawless working condition!
