The Polytone company was started in 1968 by Tommy Gumina. The motto for Polytone is "Made by Musicians for Musicians." Tommy started to build small, portable amps with the "Polytone" sound. The Mini-Brute line of amps debuted in 1976. Since then they worked with musicians to build products to the highest industry standards. The Mini-Brute series is still the most popular to the company and have produced many different versions of the amp. For more information, visit Polytone's website or contact them directly.
