I didn’t set out to build amps for everyone — just the right ones for players like me.
I’m Bruce — a lifelong musician, engineer, and relentless tone chaser. Texas Tone Amps started as a personal pursuit: I wanted the sound I heard in my head tocome alive in the room. Big. Honest. Musical. And completely mine.
But most amps on the market — even the expensive ones — felt like compromises. Too much circuitry, too many knobs, too little soul. So I started building my own, combining a musician’s ear with an engineer’s precision. One amp turned into a few. A few turned into several more. Pretty soon, players started asking, “What is that tone?”
Today, Texas Tone Amps is still just me, hands-on with every build. Every amp is designed, wired, tested, and fine-tuned right here in Austin, Texas. No assemblylines. No outsourced quality. Just hand-wired craftsmanship, premium parts, and a sound that speaks with clarity, character, and bite.
I build amps that are made to be played. Made to be heard. And made to be yours.
Because in the end, your tone is your voice. And your tone matters.
