Despite their British Vox pedigree, the TB35C1 and TB35C2 amplifiers are said to have a decidedly American feel, thanks to Tony’s influence and design. The all-tube chassis features a quartet of 6V6 power tubes, known for ''their smooth and clean high end, creamy mids, big bass, and for their rich “breakup” when overdriven.''

The preamp stage is driven by three 12AX7 preamp tubes, plus an additional 12AX7 paired with a 12AT7 tube to drive the reverb unit.

The single-channel preamp offers both High and Low level inputs, as well as Volume, Bass, Middle, and Treble controls. External speaker jacks and extension cabinet jacks are standard equipment on both models. The TB35C1 and TB35C2 are equipped with Celestion G12–65 loudspeakers, all mounted into birch-ply cabinets.
