From Our Research Team:

Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of a Great Bass Amp with a Great Update!

In celebration of its 20th Anniversary, SWR is offering up a redesigned Redhead. One of the most popular bass amps ever made, the original Redhead combined a tube preamp and solid-state power section for incredibly rich tone with a rock-solid engine. The new Redhead combo pushes 400 watts of power through a pair of 10" speakers at 4ohms (650 watts @ 2ohms with a 4ohm extension cabinet). A pair of 12AX7s populate the preamp and DI sections of the amp, and the controls offer compression, control over the full-range EQ, and access to the Aural Enhancer. SWR's Redhead is better than ever!

SWR Redhead Features:
  • Redesigned version of the original Redhead
  • 2 x 10" Eminence speakers
  • 400W
  • Tube preamp and tube DI with 12AX7 tubes
  • Single-channel
  • Tuning mute
  • Gain control
  • Bass, Midrange Level, Midrange Frequency, Treble, and Compressor controls
  • Gain, Aural Enhancer, and Effects Blend controls
  • Tube DI Line/Direct, Mute/Line, Ground Lift, and Pad controls
  • Dimensions: 23" x 22.5" x 16.75"
  • Shipping weight: 96 lbs

The SWR Redhead updates and celebrates a 20-year-old legend!

Love my Redhead

by d osburn from Kansas City, MO
May 25, 2012
Music Background: working musician
been playing bass in working bands (zydeco, ska, blues, rock, folk, latin) for over 30 years and have hauled, pushed, dragged and sweated over bass stacks for most of that time. Now I am not sayin' m... read more [+]y Redhead is not heavy, she is, but the sound she gives up for the weight is worth every single pound. Great bright, sharp tone for the funkier stuff, with a creamy warm "tubey" sound for the acoustic jazz stuff. Versatile, sonically flexible, solid, powerful, dependable and most of all, she's the sexiest Redhead on the block, and I do love a redhead. close [-]

Music Background: Working musician of ALL styles.
im in a full time cover band that has been together for 4 years now. i started with a Hartke H3500 head and 2-410xl cabs. i loved that setup but was big and heavy. too much to carry around all over th... read more [+]e place. i started shopping around combos. my guitarist both go 1-12 combos so i bought this. bottom line, its awesome. small, compact, powerful, full of tone, and can still fit in the trunk of a car. i would put this 210 up against my old 810 any day. the rack space is added awesomeness because i put my rack tuner in there so all i need is in one package. the ONLY complain i have, is the casters. they are cheap and very undersized. replace them as soon as you buy and enjoy! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
