Tony Bruno designed and constructed a hand wired |
35 watt prototype chassis for the TB35C1 and |
TB35C2 amplifiers and turned it over to Vox. The |
35 watt Bruno design incorporated four 12AX7, one |
12AT7 and four 6V6 tubes. Using the hand built |
Bruno prototype as a standard and tonal reference |
point, Vox developed a printed circuit board |
version of the amplifier suitable for mass |
production. Vox sent one of the printed circuit |
board versions of the amp back to Bruno for |
further tonal tweaking. Using his expert ears and |
tonal intuition, Bruno made further adjustments to |
the circuit. The amp was approved for production |
at Vox only after Tony Bruno was completely |
satisfied with its performance.The tone of the |
Vox/Bruno amps is unique when compared to any |
other Vox amp. The amp has more clean headroom |
than traditional Vox amps in this power range, |
such as the AC-30. Country pickers will appreciate |
this increased headroom. The TB35C1 and C2 amps |
also had more low end than traditional Vox amps. |
The added bass response comes from a combination |
of 6V6 output tubes and Celestion G12-65 speakers. |
When overdriven, the Tony Bruno amps are darker in |
tone than the typical Vox AC series amp, making it |
ideal for blues players. |
