zZounds Gear Experts Say...
A small yet powerful bass cube, extremely portable. The SWR Sound "to go."

Looking for the quality of high-end amps, with the price of lower end equipment? The Workman Series was built specifically with you in mind, then. The Workman 15 has all the power your looking for, without all the price. Along with the features that come with every workman amp (solid-state preamp, active 3-band EQ, a custom SWR woofer, built-in Limiter and Aural Enhancer, a balanced XLR direct out, sidechain Effects Loop with Blend control, a tuner output, and stereo headphone jack); it also has 80 watts of power, a 10 in. driver, and a piezo tweeter. The price says, "low end," the quality says, "high end."

Noted users include Tony Campos, Kevin Eubanks (Tonight Show Band), and Kenny Davis (Tonight Show Band).

"The little amp that could"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I may buy a WM 10T cab to add to my combo. I expect to keep it till it dies.
Sound
This amp sounds great for it's size. It has good low end and gets that SWR "slice" if asked to. I use it in coffeehouses and restaurants with wonderful results. I play a Carvin B4, Fender Jazz and Musicman Sterling through it and I get a good variety of sounds. All in all, the best small combo I've ever owned but I haven't heard the BABY BABY BLUE yet. uh oh...
Features
good setup but I would like a pre and post gain. other than that, it is very versatile.
Quality
It appears to be very well made. Time will tell. I have had it about 1 year now with no problems!
Value
Maybe a little pricey but worth it to me.
Manufacturer Support
I contacted SWR with a question and they got to me quickly. A good sign.
The Wow Factor
It really is very cool in it's "cute" way. Fun to look down and see this little box putting out such BIG sound. An overachiever.
