Neurotic is Neurotic

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

You get a double dose of tone and more. If you are looking for a pedal with extra bells and whistles, look no further. It can go from tame to aggressive to bright or thick tones. Also you can change the circuitry from silicon to germanium diodes for a different response.

Modern-Vintage Rangemaster

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

I always wanted one of these but every one I had or tried was to much brightness for my taste and with the guitars I have with different tones was difficult to dial in. Enter the Phat switch on the RC Boost, I can now have both worlds of brightening up treble booster to a thick sounds on my single coils.

Big muff style with creamy smooth tone

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

Every thing the features and description says is accurate. Smoother with more low end and a touch less gain; an even and creamy fuzz tone (early 90s) Russian style.

Tube screamer combo mod

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

As usual, always looking for different tone and modes on these. This one has the flavor of an original TS9 to the TS808 that was used by famous players. This has also a extra gain mod so if you want gain it has it, you want boost it has it, you want flavor it has it.

Vintage meets modern

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

I was looking for a wah with a little more features than what I currently have. This wah has the characteristics of a Vox to a Morley bad horsie with a variable tone adjustment. If your are looking for both with extra tone, here it is!

RC15 that boogies

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

I honesty can't think of a limitation this amp has. It's perfect for small venues that require 2 channels clean/dirty, mod. If you want and need shear tone at a reasonable volume and gig ready, this amp is for you. I bought the head cause the different cabs size and speakers I have. I can shape my tone accordingly. You knocked out of the ball park Nick!!

Loyalist stands with the best!

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

I’m still in the honeymoon phase, but I know what I like I and really like my Loyalist. I own several highly regarded boutique amps and the Loyalist easily stands with them. Build quality and tone are superb. It definitely has a British character. I can hear certain influences in it without it being an exact clone of any particular amp. The Loyalist; while being in the same realm, still has its own unique character to set it apart. For feel, I like where it sits. It’s compressed enough to keep and even keel with variances in picking, but not so much so to feel stiff. On the other end it has enough give that you can tell the difference between low and high or passive and active output pickups. And each channel has a slightly different feel. Channel 2 (crunch) is a bit more responsive than Channel 3/4 (high gain). I asked for mine to be modded. Instead of duplicate channels for 3 & 4 I wanted Ch3 to be the Loyalist high gain channel & Ch4 be the high gain from the Patriot model. So Ch4 would be more American sounding having more scooped mids and a bit more bass. This setup would be more useful to me than duplicate channels. We’ve dubbed this the Culper mod. (Google Culper spy ring and you’ll get the reference). Ch1 is clean/light crunch depending on how you set it. There’s a bright switch. For single coils it’s set to taste. It pretty much always on for humbuckers to keep it lively sounding. Ch2 can do up to hard rock. I hear it as a mix between a Plexi, 6550 JCM800 & SLO. Ch3/4 is high gain. Tone wise I hear a British quality with what I detect as some 5150/6505 influence. Similar for my modded Ch4, but with more scooped mids, more bass and a hint more treble; overall more American sounding with some British bite. I can’t say enough good things about the Loyalist. Tone and quality are top notch. It will stand with any high regarded boutique amp. I would recommend it to anyone.

Vintage Tone Modernized

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

Finally, an amp with vintage tone and modern upgrades. With this amp, you can configure your tone to be specific for the era those amp tones came from and then some. This is amp is all tone, no high gain. Notes spank you back and the chords are articulate. Congratulations Nick - you scored!!!!

Delta Deluxe

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

I have played every big name brand amp there is out there. I have owned a Laney GH100L, a Mesa Boogie Triple Rec, a couple of Carvin amps, an ADA MP-1 tube pre-amp, a Fractal Audio FX3, and a couple different EVH 5150 models. I have played Marshalls, Fenders, and ENGLs. This is one of the best amps I have ever played through. Its clean and heavy at the same time. A truly unique amp that is like nothing I have ever played through before. I love it more than anything I have ever played. Can't wait for a 60 watt version!!!!

1x12 for Halfpint

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

I pair this 1x12 with my SonicTone Halfpint head. The closed back option and Celestion Creamback speaker are the perfect match IMO. The weight is easy to handle and the build quality is amazing. Plenty of volume and fullness even with the single speaker. Highly recommend!

Halfpint head and 1x12 cab

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

Probably the best amp I've ever owned! The SonicTone Halfpint can do everything I ask it to and then some. Great sparkling cleans, excellent range of distortion and plenty of power when I need it. It's a very versatile amp that also works well with any pedal I've thrown at it, both in front and in the FX loop. Not that you need any because all the tones are there. Sounds great at lower volumes and especially good cranked. I pair this with a SonicTone 1x12 cab with the Celestion Creamback and couldn't be happier. Do yourself a favor and get one!

SonicTone RC30. Does the AC-30 thing better than an AC-30

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

I had been wanting a Vox AC30 for quite some time and was finally ready to take the plunge. I tried several versions of the newer AC30's, but I wasn't overly impressed. I knew I loved the tone my hero's were getting on older records, perhaps I needed a vintage one? Then I heard about a local builder here, creating new versions of old classics. I called him and set up a demo at his shop. I went in wanting the RC30, but every amp I tried sounded so good, I actually had a difficult time deciding. In the end, I did get my RC30. The clean is that chimy, yet full sound you know and love, and the drive side has a lot more on tap than a typical AC30 does. This amp sounds great no matter what settings I use on it. I've let several people use it in my small home studio and always get the "woah, where did this thing come from?" Nick was great to work with and even helped me when I needed a custom cable to control the channel switching, as my midi switcher used a different protocol than what his designs do. The man knows his stuff, and you will not be disappointed with any of his amps.

I’d give this amp 6/5 stars if I could.

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

I have the 50 watt 81 Special head, and it is in fact the BEST amp I have ever had. I no longer look at the big brands or even worry about trying them out, Sonictone is the company I will stick with for the rest of my life. The cleans, the crunch, the hotrod switch, it’s got it all, with top notch tone. The clarity, attack, sustain, harmonics, holy moly, go try one out. Another incredible feature is the effects loop switch. You can engage a wall of sound all with one click! Nick is very hands on and provides amazing, hospitable customer service. This won’t be the last amp I purchase from Sonictone.

Love My Snakecharmer

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

This badass amp has everything I need: fantastic cleans, smoking high gain dirty channel, full feature effects loop, solo boost (foot switch-able), half power switch and the coolest look in rock; snakeskin tolex, white control backplate, black knobs! Screams late 80s/early 90s vibe. Seriously, this amp checks all my boxes on features but that means nothing if an amp doesn’t sound good. This amp sounds better than all my other amps, regardless of price! Hand made in New Orleans, USA with the best components, professional construction and solid road-tested reliability! You will thank yourself when you dive into this pool of delicious tones!

You want this amp!

(5/5)

Gain for days! This amp sounds awesome and gives the competition a solid run for their money! Has the exact features I’m looking for, top-shelf build quality on turret board (no crappy circuit board mess here folks), and is perfect for gigging. Especially love the 2 footswitch-able master volumes on the dirty channel, perfect for solo boosting!

Best amp I’ve heard in long time!

Smooth and warm. This company got it right. Les Paul standard through through a Sonictone 412 cab. Great combination.

Another great Sonictone product.

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

As a three-peat customer, what can I say? Nick's products are top notch, professional, hand built boutique masterpieces. Want a vintage "Plexi" inspired amp? Look no further! This is the real deal without forking over 5-digit prices! Watch the demos, decide for yourself. Nick's amps are built one at a time, by Nick himself. The guy knows how to build an amp! And it's not some cheap amp kit you buy online that doesn't come close to the vintage amps that so many of our favorite artists made amazing music on. There's tons of R&D that went into making every model available. And as a bonus you get modern features to go along with a vintage platform. My only complaint is I don't have one of every model SonicTone offers! Get yourself a SonicTone product and you won't be sorry!

Great cab!

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

Not only are Nick's amps great, he takes the same pride and craftsmanship in his hand-built cabinets. These are quality workhorses folks. I had 2 Boogie cabs, heavy as a tank. I'll put his cabs up against any of the big name mass-produced cabinets all day long. And I was totally blown away with how light this 2x12 V30 loaded cabinet was in comparison. Whether you want to match a SonicTone head or want just a quality, hand-built cabinet that won't break the bank or your back, you're going to want to check these out folks.

'81 Special, Amazing!

(5/5)

Verified Purchase

Where are you going to find hand built boutique amps at a fraction of the cost of some of the more familiar names in the business? SonicTone Amplification, that's where. Nick's products are top notch quality, built with passion and superior craftsmanship. These amps are work horse amps that will hang with the best in the business. Let's face it, the average gig doesn't pay what the artist is worth these days. Not only are these amps amazing products, they are super affordable for the average musician or hobbyist. But don't take the price in consideration, you can put Nick's amps in the hands of any professional artist out there and they would be impressed. Glad I found out through word of mouth before I bought a big box store brand. Give SonicTone Amplification a try... you won't be sorry!
