Swamp Works Amplifiers / Bayou Bitch / Amp
A sweet, greasy, wide sliding tone beast with plenty of drive.
This amp has a sweet and greasy tone with plenty of drive, the sonic equivalent of Granny’s deep fried gator tail; with an extra shake or two of cayenne pepper for a little more kick.
The Bayou Bitch is extremely touch sensitive, allowing you to coax everything from a deep swamp howl to the most sorrowful blue moan simply by varying your attack. Tones reminiscent of that classic Fullerton clean sound to the warm yet tight break up of the greatest vintage blues amps, are well within the range of this point to point, hand wired amplifier.
The Bayou Bitch comes equipped with 40 watts of blistering tube power driven by a pair of matched 5881 Groove Tubes in the power section. A half-power switch gives you the ability to cut back to 25 watts for those smaller venues. It is also the first amp from Swamp Works to allow the selection of a fixed or cathode bias by the flick of a switch. This gives you the ability to choose between fixed and cathode biases without having to re-bias your amplifier. This flexibility truly allows you to make the Bitch your own. After all, everyone's Bitch has a different bark, right?
The Bayou Bitch is also the first Swamp Works Amplifier to offer a spring reverb in the combo model featuring dwell, mix, and tone controls for all of the reverb fanatics out there.
The Bayou Bitch is available in
head or combo form.

A Custom Amp is the only true way to make Your Sound Yours.
There is no way to distinguish yourself more as a guitarist than to bring to life the sound that is in your soul. At Swamp Works Amps we work with you to find out what your sound is and we craft an amplifier that is as unique as you.
We know that there are tons and tons of great guitars in the hands of some truly amazing musicians. Every one of you deserve to hear your true potential. If you think you've heard a great amplifier...wait until you try one of ours.
Handcrafted point-to-point circuitry and a commitment to finding the right sound is what makes our work unique. There's nothing that compares to having an amplifier that is designed to be played the way that you do. In music there's always new technology and new capabilities that can be used to simulate and create sounds, but it almost always leaves a trace of the artificial.
Swamp Works is committed to using the best possible concepts from the last 50 years, but only as they apply to your sound. We use point-to-point hand soldered circuits because every amp is unique, and tailored to a specific customer. We talk with you, and spend time getting to know your style and your sound. We find out what it is that makes your sound just right and then we craft an amplifier that captures and enhances that spirit.
Your amplifier is a critical part of your sound. The wood of your favorite guitar or the pickups aren't something that you take for granted, so why take your amplifier for granted.

Amplifiers (Custom)
Each of our amps are custom built to your specifications. There are currently four production guitar models and one bass model available. We think they are better than almost anything out there. If there is something specific you're looking for, we can build it. However, custom engineering does have a price tag. Also, if these prices look like they may be out of your range don't hesitate to contact us anyway...sometimes payment arrangements can be made.
