| In 1968, after a very successful
career as a jazz performer and recording artist, Tommy Gumina started
the Polytone Amplifier Company. Tommy had been designing and building
his own amps since the '50s and has been helping players such as
Jim Hall, Joe Pass, Herb Ellis, George Benson and Peter
Leich get that quintessential jazz tone in live performances and on recordings!
One of the most used jazz amps of all time
is the legendary Polytone Mini-Brute II which features a solid 110 watts
of power through a heavy duty 12" speaker, all packed into a compact
15.5" x 14" enclosure! Set the tone controls flat, pop
the Brite switch to your favorite setting, dial in just a touch of
that Hammond 3 spring reverb, remind your drummer not to speed up
during the solo, and count in 'Nardis'!!! What an absolutely
spectacular sounding little amp!!! |
