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\n\n\u003cp\u003eCelebrating Chuck Levin's 65th Anniversary, Mark Bartel kindly partnered with us to build this great Sugarland model - a 12-Watt purist design, single-channel, all tube amp that is powered by a pair of EL-84 power tubes vs the standard 6V6s. 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, with growl and grind. The solid wood cabinet design with unified baffle\/body construction delivers live, deeply resonant and unconstricted sound. This Sugarland 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\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandwired All-Tube 12-Watt Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x12-Inch Speaker Cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEL84 Power Tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFane A60 Speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Blue Tolex Covering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEC Collins Grill Cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Panel Graphics (Head)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eEye-Catching Style\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eVisually unique, eye-catching style is another bonus on this model. It has a unique blue tolex covering with complementary piping, a modified trim design, and unique faceplate artwork, for a stand-out look. Last, but certainly not least, this special build features the distinctive looking EC Collins custom grill cloth. More than its good looks, this particular cloth adds actual character to the speaker sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSound Changing Looks\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe chose EC Collins True “Bluesbreaker-Pinstripe\" Handmade Grill Cloth to use for our exclusive Bartel amp. It is handmade by Eric Collins, and is an exact replica of the unique pinstripe grill cloth used on the early Marshall amps from 1965-1968. \n\nFor speaker cabinets, it has unique acoustical properties which really deliver on that raging stack sound, even at very low volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle Channel, Multi-Voice Preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInnovative Master Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring Layout - Lowest Noise Floor for Pure Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterstage transformer coupled phase inverter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper Bobbin Layer Wound Transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Fabrication Turret Boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCathode biased output stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo negative feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandwired Circuitry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver Plated Wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe acoustic response of this amp is something special. 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\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Sugarland, Chuck Levins' 65th Anniversary Build\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Tubes: EL84 (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: Natural Hide Glue Application, Delivers Superior Acoustic Response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubes: 2x12AX7A, 2x12AU7, 2xEL-84, 1x5Y3GT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker: 12-Inch Fane A60 (2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal Output: Line Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: TBA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: TBA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Bartel Amplifiers LLC\u003cbr\u003eModel: BARTEL WMC65 BOM30\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I738033-N-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.
