Tonic Amps, NYAS, Premier Guitar

Post by Dano »

Here's a link to the video of Premier Guitar stopping by Tonic Amps at the New York Amp Show. Tonic Amps is Darin (Dartanion here at TAG). They have a very nice demo of his Absinthe amp head using a telecaster. Congratulations Darin!

I'll do my best adding the link. First time trying to do so.

Well, the clean tone part of the demo lasted all of about 10 seconds.. :lol:
Looking at the Vol control setting, I'm surprised that the amp is distorting , particularly with a Tele. A low headroom amp for sure, or is there a pedal in-line ? And it must be a very bright amp to have the Treble dialed back so far and still sound so crisp, Tele or not..is the Bright Sw ON or OFF when down ? I would have liked to hear it with the Vol at mid-point or higher, and also with a h/b equiped guitar. Nice looking, I must say.

I've heard your amps in person Darin, They sound awesome. I didn't realize the Absinthe was single ended. Very cool. Terry

Tonicamps.com. Great stuff, great touch sensitivity as can be heard in the clip and the complexity of the distortion is just great.

And...FANE speakers. Tonic amps sells those in the US. The stuff. 8)

Plus, Darin is a very cool cat. :D
