Tony Bruno is a man obsessed with a single goal --- To build a guitar amp with the ultimate tone. To this end he uses only the highest quality Premium and New Old Stock components for each amp. He is meticulous in his quest and never totally satisfied with his amps even though they are universally praised as the finest sounding in the world. Many recording artists, session musicians and guitar publications refer to Tony as The Amp Guru because each of his different amps delight the senses with amazing tonal complexity, warmth and balance. His vast knowledge of tube amplifier design, components and construction combined with a superbly tuned ear place him in very high demand.
Other well known companies are constantly coming to Tony for design help with their hi-end or custom shop amplifiers when only the best will do. Tony refuses to build "factory boutique amps" assembled by many people in quantities that sacrifice tone and quality. Each Bruno Amp is a custom designed labor of love, which is point to point wired and stringently tested by Tony. This includes all hand wiring, solder joints, circuits, pots, transformers, phase, operation, frequency response, bias, tubes, speakers, cabinet tone and finish quality.
An accomplished guitarist with over 1000 amp designs to his credit, Tony plays each amp by itself and with a full band to make sure it has the highly coveted Bruno Sound. He even uses a mixed audience test to "woman proof" every amp because of a woman's more sensitive high hearing. If any amp's tone isn't perfect Tony takes it apart and tweaks it until it is worthy of the Bruno name. Bruno amps never go out to anyone until they have "The Tone That Stands Alone."
Bruno Underground
The Bruno Underground 30 is one of the most coveted guitar amps in the world. It is an incredible sounding, hand-built masterpiece that has received rave reviews and awards from top musicians and guitar publications. This is an amp that must be heard and only then can you understand how an amp from a small boutique company could inspire such extraordinary endorsements.
(Aka Underground 22) is the sweetest sounding amp you'll ever hear. Reminiscent of the classic American Blackface amps, the tone far surpasses even that famous design. This amp is smooth, warm and clean (just try to picture that contradiction in amp design) with a supremely linear gain structure. It is very touch sensitive with superb note articulation and silky sweet clean tones that grow into a rich harmonic crunch as you dial up the volume.
The Bruno Pony 50 is British Plexi sound taken to it's finest with gobs of tone. This amp rocks with loud, strong, bright British tones that have superb detail and clarity. It has richly balanced clean and grind tones mixed with dynamic brilliance and great note articulation. The Pony 50 has a refined pristine voice that just gets lusher and more complex as you crank it up.
The Bruno Tweedy Pie 18: is a superb small amp with the all of the tone Bruno's are famous for and the sweetness of 6V6 power tubes. This amp has classic tweed design and loads of tone in a small portable combo that's perfect for lugging to a recording session or club gig without breaking your back.
The Bruno Lead Man 60: is a high gain lead amp that really rocks. It has solid balls to the wall overdrive distortion with incredible note articulation and superb tone. This amp is very responsive and has a real slick presence to its sound. Turn down the midrange and this amp grinds out harmonically engorged heavy metal grind. Crank it up and it sounds huge with highly saturated tone and wicked sounding sustain. Deep bottom end, fatness and vivid bass response is absolutely amazing with the Lead Man.
The Tony Bruno Super 100: is an amp that was built because of the constant demand from loyal Bruno clients. Each week Tony got several requests from guitarists who were looking for a channel switching amp that had rich warm clean tones and creamy smooth overdrive but were unable to find it. These players wanted an amp that delivered the type of tone made famous by Robben, Stevie, Larry, Eric and several other great guitarists.
