Dear Francesco - It doesn't get much better than Telonics for a clean yet powerful signal. The TBro does sound like a dobro, the value of the TBro is mainly that its already built into the amp. There are other ways of getting decent resonator sounds, but you always have to carry around another stomp box unit, and more cords, and more connections. The Tbro simplifies life by having the resonator effect unit built into the amp, just turn a switch. Its not necessarily better or worse than anything else, but its good, definitely sounds like a dobro or a Marrs Cat Can.

Wow Richard! Thank you very much for chiming in with your comments. I don't have an audio file to share and recently had some surgery that will limit my ability to provide it.
Your comments are spot on.

Hi Richard, thank you so much for your very interesting speech, yes you are right having this effect inside your amp saves your life. Anyone who doesn't have that telonics will have to make do with other methods anyway. Now I'll see with my new pedal board dedicated only to the pedabro sound what will come of it. Thank you very much for your wise intervention and it would be nice to see a demonstration video, the thing I don't understand is in the you tube telonics channel how could they not put such an important demonstration video where they show the use of the TBRO since the whole world is looking for that pedal for years. Francesco

Hi Greg, thank you for publishing the audio file where we finally hear this telonics sound, I'll tell you my immediate impression since I've been rummaging through these pedal sounds etc for years now, for now the most perfect sound is this one from the video di David Spires, otherwise the sound I hear in the file looks like a pedal sound like MXR Resonator. Greetings Francesco
