My new weapon of mass destruction!I haven't gotten it yet.Photo taken by the shop I bought it from(amp not included).

Hope it's a good one. Make us some sound bytes if you can, please, when you get it. I'm very curious. Playability report, too, please.

Awesome, Mitch! I recognize the photo setup. Did you get it from that guitar store in NY?

Yep,they are in Brooklyn.

Here are some Tonika vids I found on youtube

Yeah, thanks, I saw these but the effects are all over the sound. I wondered how they sound a little cleaner.

This is the only other sample I've found Tonika clean sound

Cool, thanks. That's not bad, would be great for retro rock just like that.

I await your hands-on impressions

I think this is the same shop that sells old analogue synths, too. I've been tempted, but...

You're going to have to make a DIN-to-1/4" adapter cord, I think, Mitch.

Thanks Paul,unfortunately(or fortunately)the plug on this guitar has been changed to a standard 1/4" plug so I wont be able to plug into on of those Aelita synths

I used to be so obsessed with Russia. If I had found one of these when I was 12, I may have never switched to bass, and I'd be in a band called Gorbachev's Birthmark.

That would've been kewl!

Hey check it out my Tonika came in from the cold!

Wow! Something about that thing is so bizarre that I can't stop looking at it.

Like a train wreck?

Exactly! What a delicious sense of revulsion
