So impressed I bought it

by Matt C. from Nashville, TN
June 23, 2009
Music Background: Pro Bassist, Singer, Sognwriter
I stopped at Sweetwater on my way to Detroit from Nashville.

I was intrigued by the marketing hype around the SWR M2 pre, so I had the nice people at Sweetwater pull one out of it's box... read more [+]. We set it up, plugged into the only amp on the floor that had an amp in (a small, inexpensive fender combo).

I’ve been playing bass for a long time and have owned or played through a lot of the high end gear out there. This knocked me down.

I bought it on the spot! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
