Polytone Mini brute III came in

and light, but this thing sports a 15" speaker, 160 or so watts and is
around 40lbs. Works great - only has bass/treble/volume,
bright/med/dark switch, line out (which also works fine).
The amp works perfectly and sounds excellent with my pedal board, but
I was expecting a little one.
Oh well, I'll see how she fares.

What you wanted was the Mini-Brute II (2" spkr)

Well, I'm thinking that a 2" speaker certainly would make the amp tiny, but
probably not have the oopmf I need :)- Seriously spekaing, didn't the orig
MBI have an 8" speaker?
The MBIII is smaller than my Polytone Model 102. In fact, it is the
smallest amp I own and the most powerful, but not the heaviest.
I was playing through it tonight and noticed that there is a dif between
what 10's sound like, 1-12, and 1-15. I will have to play mroe through the
1-15 to see if thta suits my fancy as a guitar player.
The more I play with the amp, the more I like it and like I said, it is the
smallest amp I own.

Josip,
Ha, I now realize that it is a bass amp, but with the med/bright on, it's
an excellent guitar amp; just wasn't the model I expected; i thought it as
a MB-I. That's what you get for not asking the right questions when buying.

Wel,, it's called the micro-brute and at 400W RMS it fits in your shirt
pocket.

Apologies Greg,
Of course what I meant was a 12" rather than 2" speaker, which
methinks is the M/brute II. I have an 80's Brute II, dimensions are
15" high, 14" wide and 10" deep, 30 lbs. The Plate on back of the amp
actually says Mini/Teeny Brute??
If it was 2 inches less wide, it would almost be the size of the RE
One 8 Cab.
I've been using ths Poly for 10 years, Great workhorse.
The smallest Polytone combo is the Mega Brute, I believe, which I
think has an
8" speaker, I'd love to get my hand on that one.

I had a MB IV (same as III but with reverb) from about 1993. I worked
fine, but I like the clarus/RE sound better. there is a "nasal quality"
to the PT that I could never get rid of. But a buddy of mine uses that
amp now, with a Heritage 335 style guitar, and he sounds great.

Anybody ever have/play one? How was it? How was the bass?
Thanks in advance,

in a PT you could replace the speaker to a Weber or JBL type equivalent. The
spk would be customized as in most cases it would have to be wound to 4
ohms. The tone difference is dramatic.

Was that the megabrute? Geezsch, PT had so many models and so many
variations of the same model that they need a historian to keep it
straigt.

The Mega Brute has 8" but still has about 140 watts, or so, I believe?
I have the MiniBrute V , which also has the 15" ... and a horn.

"honk" comes from the flexiflyer cab and the cheap electronics. I put a JBL
in my MBIV once and it helped greatly, but the "honk" was still there.
(Perhaps if I'd upgraded the wiring while I was at it, I might have been
happier).
