NOTE: Method of determining wattage rating for Sonny Jr. Amps

 

The amplifier is connected to the specified speaker load with a sine wave applied to the input. An oscilloscope is then hooked across the speaker load. The volume on the amplifier is increased until clipping of the sine wave is seen on the oscilloscope, and then rolled back until well below the clipping point. The AC signal at the load is then measured as voltage with a "True RMS" rated meter. The result is squared and divided by the load in ohms to arrive at the power of the amplifier in watts. The watts ratings are good for all frequencies from 40 to 10,000 Hz.

Both the Cruncher and the Avenger were tested with 12AX7 preamp tubes and a GZ34 rectifier. The wattage ratings are as follows:

Cruncher = 35 watts

Avenger = 45 watts

Custom vintage microphones built by Sonny Jr. with a great fit for your hands. Beautifully painted and lacquered Turner shell with an indented volume control--one click and hold per turn--and the cable just plugs into the bottom. Inside are the hottest 1950's controlled reluctance elements, or depending on availability, a controlled magnetic. The crystals are in JT30 custom shells.

Antonello - Italy

Yesterday I was finally able to test the mic you sent me and WOW, what a sound!!!  Apart from being really nice looking, from having a jack input that is really tight and just in the right position, and apart from the volume knob with click stops, the mic paired together with my Four-Ten is a killer. The amp was already hot with my previous mics, but with this mic it rocks even more (and I haven't even had the opportunity to play with tones, just plugged in and played for the gig).

The products you deliver to us may seem costly, but quality has a price and you deliver top quality. Our money is very well spent.

Thanks again, Gary!

 
Les Weiner - A happy microphone customer

I received the mic yesterday and I'm really happy with it. It's a real winner. The tone of the CR element is perfect—full, deep, loud. I tried it in Bright 1 and 2 and it sounds great. I wasn't sure about the 1/4 jack plugged directly into the mic, but this one is resistant to getting pulled out even if you step on the cord—nearly impossible. And I like the volume control with its set positions. I guess I favor somewhat smaller mics--Astatic JT-30s and T-3s--as opposed to the Shure 520, so the Turner shell fits my hand better.

Thanks so much for the fabulous mic, building it right away and shipping it fast.

 

Matched Groove Tube 6L6 Power Tubes

Each pair of GE Style 6L6 are matched and graded by their degree of aggressiveness on a scale of 1−10. I use a wide variety of grade numbers to dial in each amplifier. When you need to replace your power tubes, if you use the same grade that is in there at the time, the bias should be extremely close to what it was when shipped, approximately 28 milliamps. If you have the option to test them after changing tubes, it is always good to be precise since the bias pot allows you to dial the amp in once again. I do offer Groove Tubes at a discount to my customers if needed.

Shipping - Continental United States $50 - $90
