They continue to stand apart from most conventional guitar amps because of their strikingly different kind of sound – deep and resonant, detailed and present - just a totally unconstricted tone. Each one is hand-built by Mark Bartel himself in his Baltimore shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOur 65th Anniversary\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCelebrating Chuck Levin's 65th Anniversary, Mark Bartel kindly partnered with us to build this great Starwood. Its single channel multi-voice preamp will offer up an incredibly wide range of voicings, from sparkly cleans to a thick, woody tweed, and all the way to a driven plexi crunch, growl and grind. The solid wood cabinet design with unified baffle\/body construction delivers live, deeply resonant and unconstricted sound. This Starwood model also features a unique master volume circuit that is extremely transparent, and is able to maintain the same sound and vivid presence all the way down to bedside volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandwired All-Tube Combo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28-Watt with 1x12-Inch Speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoost Circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6L6GC Power Tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring Reverb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Blue Tolex Covering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Faceplate Artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEC Collins Grill Cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eEye-Catching Style\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eVisually unique, eye-catching style is another bonus on this model.

It cuts through amazingly well on a stage, and somehow never sounds shrill or piercing – it stays thick and full, like a saxophone. Yet, despite of its powerful presence onstage, it also sounds fantastic in a home environment – still full and rich, with intense clarity but never sounding overly bright, even at very low volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe master volume circuit is incredibly transparent and makes the Sugarland so much more versatile and usable. It preserves the harmonic balance and the dynamic response a lot better than a conventional master volume circuit, so the tone and feel remain consistent down to bedroom volume. At the same time, it preserves the presence and immediacy of the sound better than a power attenuator does, the ultimate tool for transparently reducing volume to any level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Starwood, Chuck Levins' 65th Anniversary Build\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Tubes: 6L6 (2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePanel Graphics: Custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovering: Custom, Blue Tolex, Complementary Piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrill Cloth: Special, EC Collins “Bluesbreaker-Pinstripe\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnclosure: Unified Body\/Baffle Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Solid Eastern White Pine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaffle board: 12-Piece Construction, Solid Eastern White Pine and African Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabinet Sealant: Special Recipe Compound Ensures Natural Acoustics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Leather, Handmade by Brookwood Leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs: Custom Molded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpholstery Application: Natural Hide Glue, Delivers Superior Acoustic Response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubes: 3x12AX7A, 2x12AU7, 2x12AT7, 2x6L6GC, 1x5AR4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverb: Tube driven, full-size 2-spring pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker: 12-Inch Fane A60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal Output: Line Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions 22.5\" x 18\" x 11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 42lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Bartel Amplifiers LLC\u003cbr\u003eModel: WMC65-S124-COMBO\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I727830-0-WHXB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
