Apart from the fact that it's only 220w...

I have the chance to afford one used. Is it good? Does it deliver that clean tone SWR is famous for? Is it possible to use only the preamp section to feed a power amplifier?

I have one I bought last year.

 

With a small 8 ohm cab it's barely enough for practice, but the sound is worth it. Right now I'm looking to pick up a 4x10 to see what it will do with that.

 

From what I understand reading the manual, it can be used as a pre-amp with another poweramp. It can even be split into 2 power amps (with a variable cross-over). That's the next part of my dream rig - to get the high power amp .

 

If you don't mind me asking, what is the price?

That doesn't sound too bad, considering that American gear tends to cost quite a bit more in Europe than Stateside.

 

If you have the money, go for it. I believe it was actually one of SWR's more well-respected amps when it was in production.
