"The UV6 captures the character of classic Marshall and Vox tones ranging from moderately clean at modest volume settings to variable, full-out distortion loaded with harmonic overtones and a throaty growl...[It] is an excellent example of the current state-of-the art in handcrafted, small-production amps."

From the review of the Uv6 done by Tone Quest Report, October 2005. There's also a nice interview with Jeff & Bob in the same issue.

"The Amp-Cradle is a real handy tool that can increase shop safety, reduce accidental damage, and make working on your amp a more pleasant experience. In my book, that's quite a deal." Guitar Player November 2005, p. 170

"These amps sound amazing on anybodies' recordings. It is simple to get the AC DC thing or the Who thing or whatever with these amps, you know what I mean?

"I took them over to [my friend] Hal's studio so I have a couple of clips with some nice room ambience. He was blown away with both amps . The MarWatt especially, he is deciding what to get rid of. Everything we tried, ....rock, Jazz , heavy ,clean was great. Really loved the response to the guitar's volume control.

"It sounds awesome with both my LP and the tele. It really has a vintage quality that is so hard to get with a lot of vintage amps. These two amps will cover so much ground in my studio set ups it’s ridiculous."

Comments on the DST MarWatt and U84-TNT by Grammy Award Winner Jay Newland, Engineer and Producer of Nora Jones' CD Come Away With Me.

"Continuing our serious pursuit within the burgeoning 18-watt community, we have made some handy discoveries along the way, engaging in some animated discussions with guys like ... Jeff Swanson and Bob Dettorre from DST, who are turning out some exquisite versions based on the early British 18-watt amps."

Billy F Gibbons in Vintage Guitar Magazine, December 2004

"I am working right now with Jeff [Swanson] and his partner from DST-Engineering, Bob Dettore, on testing one of their new amp designs, the UV6, which is amazing. This is a 6V6 based amp which sounds like a Deluxe on steroids. They are doing the boutique amp thing but instead of just copying vintage designs, they are adding some little extras which increase the flexibility and tonal ranges of their amps."
