The imported Evil Robot-C30 offers more features at a more affordable price point

Los Angeles, CA (March 6, 2012) – Tone Americana announced today the new Evil Robot-C30. Distributors have been asking for this model since the USA model launched in 2010. The imported Evil Robot-C30 offers more features at a more affordable price point.

The Evil Robot-C30 features 30-watt Class A power section complete with cooling fan, power on switch and a three function toggle switch for Standby, 18W, and 30W operation. The front end includes two switching channels with independent volume controls having a range from classic rock and blues, to country and jazz. In addition, the Evil Robot-C30 comes with a unique '50s-style vibrato, a master volume, and old school, chicken head knobs. On the back end, the combo amp features an external speaker out, impedance selector and remote foot switch connector for A and B channels and Vibrato. The Evil Robot-C30 also features industrial ear tuned transformers and a custom 12” speaker customized specifically for an older vintage style tone. All weighing in at under 28 lbs and selling at an MSRP of $899.

To achieve the design and tones of the Evil Robot-C30, Tone Americana sought the help of recognized designer/engineer, John Kasha who was responsible for sourcing, quality control and manufacturing of the Evil Robot-C30 overseas. Kasha Designs was also responsible the original classic Evil Robot hand wired USA models including the Combo, Head and 2x12 Speaker Cabinet and Reverb Pedal.

In acknowledgement for his contribution, each Evil Robot bears the name of Phil X. Phil works extensively with Fretted Americana as the host of over 300 videos produced to demonstrate, promote and sell the inventory of Fretted Americana. A constant fixture in the L.A. music scene, it was Phil who filled the shoes of Richie Sambora during the last Bon Jovi tour.

If you have to go bigger and louder than you require something to hide all your mistakes... Great job Phil... \m/ \m/

Evil Robot has more wattage and is warmer in my opinion. Everywhere I go, I get complemented on my sound. I also owned a Tonemaster 216 which sold me on Magnitone early on. I sold the Juke on eBay recently. Got half what I paid for it, that sucked!

The amp sounds good too--I'd have liked to hear some clean tones, though, but that's a beef that I have with a lot of video reviews--they ignore those of us who need to play clean a lot of the time. Try doing a jazz or traditional country gig with even the cleanest of those rockin' tones and you'll likely get fired, although I liked the way the amp cleaned up with the guitar's volume knob.

Probably the only diff in the hand wired is the age of the girl soldering the board and if she from Mexico or China. But, really! free-ride" is not the tone I'm looking to replicate. This amp has no warmth - and I agree with bob there's plenty of pedals that will get you this sound. No disrespect to Phil X - I'm a big fan - who wouldn't be - he's a excellent guitar brother! He's put some heart into this project and it just needs a bit more work.

on 03/08/2012 		I love this guy. Amps' cool too, but the two channels didn't sound like they were voiced that different.
Mike
on 03/07/2012 		This amp kicks ass, even sounds better than the original in my opinion listening to it first hand at the NAMM show. Bob has no idea what he is talking about. Tweet Phil and ask him yourself. You won't get this sound with a Bad Money, count on it.
