Bartel Amps Starwood 28W 2026 Tweed/Brown (Authorized Dealer)

Intro

The Bartel Amps Starwood 28W 2020 Tweed Brown marks the first brand-new Starwood to feature Mark Bartel’s push/pull bright-switch on the volume knob. This feature remains remarkably transparent and helps Humbuckers retain sparkle at very low volumes—more than past models. In home or studio, there’s no need to adjust tone when switching between single coils and humbuckers; simply pull the knob to change voices. The 28W Starwood is a pure, all-tube 1×12 combo powered by two 6L6 tubes, delivering expressive dynamics with lush reverb.
