Long time friend of VOX R&D, Tony Bruno’s unparalleled knowledge of boutique amplifi er design has been

The Story

After establishing a strong working relationship we decided to do a full collaboration and allow Tony to de-
sign a circuit that we would put into mass production. This was a fi rst for both VOX R&D and Tony Bruno. So,
Utilizing Tony Bruno’s expertise of American style boutique amplifi ers and VOX R&D’s resources and develop-
ment team, we set sail on the seas of tone, into unchartered waters to bring boutique sound and quality to the
masses.
First, Tony personally hand built a handwired prototype to his uncompromising standards that we would use
as a benchmark and continually reference throughout the project. After evaluating Tony’s amp we at VOX R&D
made a replica of the unit using a PCB design instead of Tony’s usual handwired method. We then unleashed
Tony onto the new sample and allowed him to modify and add new features to the unit. After many rigorous
voicing sessions with Tony it was agreed we had something that not only shared the same excellent tonal qual-
ity of the original unit, but also included features that would otherwise be impossible to create without the use
of VOX R&D’s modern development and production resources.
The TB35C1 & TB35C2 amplifi ers are the result of an uncompromising collaboration between VOX R&D and
Tony B run o. En joy !
