“My love of vintage equipment and sounds is what got me started in this business. The look, the feel, the sound and even the smell of a vintage unit is undeniable. It has always been my approach to make our gear as exact as possible to units from the ‘60s and ‘70s. In the case of our TG units, the artwork of the circuit boards is literally taken directly from the vintage circuit board artwork. The current trend in audio manufacturing is to make gear in China and to use surface mount components that are essentially designed to make the manufacturing of cell phones and computers very fast and very cheap. I personally do not want any cell phone parts in my audio gear. So, I kept thinking to myself, what can we do to be more vintage? How can we go even further than making things by hand and using old-style manufacturing techniques. My answer – use vintage parts! Designing with vintage parts has been some of the most inspiring and fun work I’ve been able to do. I hope you love it as much as I do!”
