"This babys got it all"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
i will probally get an extension cab. And for large gigs i can just put it into a pa system to get the sound i need. I dount think ill need another amp for several years
Sound
This amp has one beatiful tone. You can really beef up the sound, Just some really good low end BASS! I found it to be pretty warm. The tweeter makes the highs nice and easy.
Features
This has great accesories. Especially for the price. SWR has done a great job with this amp.
Quality
My amp was not loose or anything. It is a solid amp and you can take it on the road. It is fairly easy to carry around. SWR is known for professional quality and this amp shows it. And this site has the specifications wrong. It is a 120W amp and 160W with an extension
Value
This product would be overpriced if it was another amp. But you know if its SWR its pro quility. it is well worth the price. This is a bargain for an amp of such quality
Manufacturer Support
i have come across no problems with my amp. I have had it for almost 3 years now. i has held up great
The Wow Factor

"9 years after use, my SWR Working Man's 12 still works great every time i power it up!"
Owned it since the '90's...if and when it dies, i would get another one in a heartbeat.
Sound
the sound on it's own (one 12",w/horn) is good-but direct to the board/thru PA w/2 15"& 2 18" JBL's it sounds fantastic.
Features
easy to use, and they work!
Quality
road worthy
Value
I've been playing 30+ years, the amp is;the best, most compact, easy to use, transport (under 50 lbs)
Manufacturer Support

SWR Workingman's 12 Amp Customer Review
Sound
For a small combo, with low price, it sounds pretty darned good. It's not particularly warm sounding, nor is it as dynamic as a larger more expensive amp, but for the size and money it's a satisfying amp and a good value.
Features
It has enough power, it has enough tone control, the ext balanced output and tuner outputs are great.
Quality
Again, for the money, a good unit.
Value
I've already answered this... a good value for sure.
