David Barrett’s endorsement:

I have used and recommended Sonny Jr. Custom Amplifiers to students and friends for over six years now and have always been happy with the service, high quality of components (custom and rebuilds), and the over-all care that Sonny puts into providing the best product possible. His Four-Ten is the best stage amp I’ve ever played through and I am tickled to own one. The amp sounds great at all volumes and really delivers the tone I strive to achieve on stage and in the studio. Hats off to Sonny for the last amp I’ll ever need to buy.

I just got back from the School of the Blues Student Concert and I used the new Cruncher you just sent. The students sounded great through the amp... I think the amp is a winner. It was loud enough and everyone, even the lesser-experienced players, had great tone. Andy Just sat in as well and he sounded great. Congrats on the new design!

Sugar Ray Norcia endorsement:

I have learned through years of experience, that playing the harp too hard through an amp that doesn’t respond to your efforts does very little to improve your technique and overall sound. The Sonny Jr. Four Ten produces a pure quality of tone and volume that is rich, heavy and fat, which enables me to hear and feel the nuances and subtleties of my playing, and in turn gives me more freedom to play creatively. This exciting and versatile amp inspires me and my band on each and every gig.

Beautifully crafted, the Sonny Jr. 410 is an extremely versatile amp with Big, Fat and Rich tone right out of the box. A privilege to own, Sonny has done his homework. Look no further because this is the ONE! Customer support is A+

Mitch Kashmar endorsement: 

West coast harp monster.

I played through the Sonny Jr Four-Ten amplifier once at a festival in Europe: outdoors, high hollow stage, fast band changes, no time for a sound check, alongside Supers and Twins. I’m a real skeptic and I love my old Fenders, so I was surprised to discover that it not only cut the mustard, but truly sounded fabulous. What I first noticed was the full range of response to the high and low registers of the harp; it was so fat down in the low end of the chromatic harmonica that there was chicken grease running and dripping off the stage!!  I saw and listened to Sonny recount his obsessive pursuit of only the absolute best components for his amp, and after playing through it myself, I believe! This just might be an amp that, like the vintage Fenders of the 50’s and 60’s, will actually go up in value through the years.

"Fighting a losing battle but having a lot of fun trying to win"
SONNY TERRY 1911-1986

Harp players are always fighting battles with amps but with the Sonny Jr. Four-Ten amplifier, you will have a whole lot of fun and you will win, believe me.

It's a fantastic amp, has a full fat tone and from the highs to the lows, responds to me in every way.

A must for all blues harp players.

Peter Nande endorsement:

I’ve used a bunch of “harp amps” but the Sonny Jr. Four-Ten is the best money I ever spent on an amp! The amp tone is killer with great breakup. It sounds super with/without tongue blocking and it’s possible to dial in the amp or set up the tube combinations so that it's perfect for your own special tone and taste.

As with all amps…you have to be able play and have a good tone to make it work. But I must admit this amp makes it easier because when you play softly it sounds sweet and mellow and when you play real hard you can get it to sound like a thunderous beast! Yes….Sonny has really done his homework to A++++ this time, and brought all of his harp amp knowledge into this thing.
