    Looking for a modern amp that does the scooped SWR thing

    I’m looking for a portable or somewhat smaller low profile modern rig that will do the scooped SWR (Redhead) sound. Such a great sound.. such an ugly bulky heavy amp… Ideas?

    SWR Anniversary Redhead - Change transformer to 220v

    Hi there. Does anybody know where to get the transformer originally used for the European market? I'm thinking about buying a 110v version and change the transformer to 220v. Best Regards

    How hot should an SWR Redhead run?

    Greetings. I recently bought a used SWR Redhead. It is my first tube-equipped amp and I love it, BUT I am very concerned over how hot it gets during a job. Not flesh-meltingly hot but close to the heat of a fresh cup of coffee. Should I consider this normal operating temp for this system, or...

    Anyone put Legend CA10-8s in a Redhead?

    I've seen different recommendations for replacing the speakers in an SWR Redhead. I have the 240watt model and I'm thinking of using either the Eminence Legend CA10-8 or the Weber Bass 10FH. They're both about the same price. I've used guitar speakers from both companies over the years but no...

    Speaker reisitance in the SWR Redhead orig

    In the SWR Redhead, 240 watt, 2x10, are the speakers 2 16 ohms in parallel or 2 4 ohms in series? Or does anyone have the specs on the original PAS speakers used. Thanks

    Should I trade for an SWR Super Redhead?

    So I have an opportunity to trade my SWR Goliath Sr. 6x10 for an SWR Super Redhead. I'm getting rid of the cab mainly because I just bought an Ampeg 810, but this Redhead looks really appealing! In terms of value, is this a good trade for me?

    SWR Super Redhead Advice

    Hey folks! I have an SWR Super Redhead that is, to the best of my knowledge, all original. Last week it made a little -pop- when I was playing (fingerstyle, no effects, low volume) and now the speaker on the right side of the cab makes no noise. It's not a huge problem as I use it exclusively...

    Redhead Amp replacement. How to?

    Instead of changing all the Speakers from one Redhead to the other, I thought I'd just switch the Amp part. I removed the six screws,(two on the front, and four in the back),the amp wouldn't budge. Is there a different way? Any Schematics for the Speaker wiring? Thanks!

    How to remove/replace speaker from SWR Redhead

    Help is much appreciated: I removed the grill, removed the screws around the speaker rim, and... then what? Seems like there should be some access to the rear of the whole shebang, but I don't see any. Do I just pry the speaker out? This is an SWR Redhead original, if that makes a difference.
