Darin, really fine looking head! I'm going to assume that it will run EL34's? If it does, what does it sound like?

This one is setup for 6V6s only. Well, it'll work with 6EZ5s too. It's using smaller iron, so it's also super light weight for a grab and go kind of head. It rips through a 212 or 412 and is plenty loud for gigging.

I've got a couple more days off of work, so I'll try to get some clips.

Darin, Beautiful looking amp your bringing to market. The components, covering, panel art, etc. make a bold, proud statement. I trust it slays as sonically as it looks.

Those dang handles are approaching $40 USD from anyone reputable. Care to tip your hand as to your supplier :wink: ? You probably bought a fat quantity since you're gearing up to sell.

Best wishes for your company,
another Bay Area ampaholic,

Looking great ... I'm liking what I see. The faceplates and logo plates came out great.

Watching the video clips assures me that it was well worth the effort. 8)
I can easily say the same about your amp and cabinet building skills. I'm sure we will be seeing a lot more Tonic amps. :o

Darin/Dartanion-
As usual, GORGEOUS build! It's more than refreshing to see you add your own interpretation/flavor to a proven design...proves again that there's more to this group than just cloners; I'm sure Ken would give the "attaboy" to your efforts!
Now, how about sending me some'a them Yakima Magnum hops/rizhomes???
All the best from Red River Gorge (it's still here; waiting for you to visit!!)

Hey Tom,

Thanks for the compliments.

I do have some rhizomes right now that I got from my father in law. We gave him rhizomes a few years ago, now he sends us clippings every year. I'll see if I have extras and will let you know what I have.
