Tony Bruno Tweedy Pie Handmade Boutique Amp

The Tony Bruno Tweedy Pie Handmade 45 Watt Boutique Amp brilliantly captures the classic tweed tone of 1955.  tony-bruno-tweedy-pie-handmade-45-watt-boutique-ampTony Bruno used this dual rectifier tone as the jumping off point in creating the Tweedy Pie 45 watt amp, but he didn’t stop there.  He put everything he had into making an amp that refined the tone into something that was almost truly perfect.  The Tweedy Pie 45 has some very sweet highs, features a warm midrange tone, and can produce full bass notes with amazing dynamics and touch sensitivity.  Dial it down into the lower volume settings and you’ll find clean tones, but when you turn the volume way up, you get rich harmonics and an excellent distortion.

The Tweedy Pie is made out of solid pine and is completely hand-wired.  The cabinet is incredibly strong and won’t rattle at all, plus each case is so well constructed that it will last a lifetime .  It uses dual 6L6 tubes, three 12 AX7s, and two 5U4 rectifiers.  The amp also features tolex coverings and chromed steel corners.  It’s available in a number of finishes as well.

As far as pricing goes, the 2x12 Combo amp is $3,099 new, and they usually go for around $2,500 used.  You can learn more at http://www.brunoamps.com/.
