I did and am blown away. I currently have a 12" model at the shop if anyone would like to stop in for a test drive on the left coast.

According to T C, Bobbe Seymour has a T C Furlong amp to try out. Check it out you Nashvillians. Smile

I heard Johnny Cox play through one briefly, and it sounded really good. But, Johnny would sound good with a string and a tin can. Smile

I played through both the Furlong/Sarno (Tonic) combo and a preamp/powered speaker, and they both sounded great. Lots of tone options, and a sonic character customized for steel. They have aesthetic appeal as well, which is a bonus.

TC - is the size of your 12" SPLIT cabinet such that it could accomodate the addition of a "top shelf" addition for the Tonic preamp? In other words, an extension above the closed cabinet that would house the preamp similar in appearance to your new open backed cabinet/preamp rig?

I heard TC Furlong playing one of his amps at a guitar show in Chicago back in February. The amp sounded great. But then again, TC Furlong plays great!

Hi Doug,

Already in development. It will be a smaller closed-back variation on the SpliTonic Custom 15 pictured below.

I heard one, and played through a 12" combo. I thought it sounded and looked fantastic. I ordered one on Sunday at the TSGA

I think that 12 inch model in the closed back cabinet will be just the thing I'm looking for!!!

Seems all the recording engineers here are now building amps!!
Whoa!

I am just finishing up a from scratch prototype
112 for both steel and guitar.
Gonna do a channel each tuned for Tele and Shobud.
Can take a few different tubes in both preamp and power sections.
So I may do a different 1st tube for each.
Depends which I like best.

Then doing a '59 Bassman clone, 410 then gonna mod that a bit.

At some point I will do a more powerful 112 with mucho eq.
hand controled routing for mounting on a steel leg
and a few other bells and whistles.

And somewhere I am likely to build a mutant single radio tube tube monster.
Justy to see it burn!

TC nice unit, good luck with it.
Smile

Donald,
I think it may be a blessing in disguise that I don't have the electronic skills that some of you guys possess ... I have so many toys now , I would have to build a bigger house for any more ....Good Luck with your builds !!....Jim

TC,
Your Splitonic Custom 15 looks very cool and I can only imagine what it sounds like .... Smile ...Jim
