About Us
We make every TonKontrol circuit ourselves, from start to finish. An electrical-electronics engineer designs them by listening to what musicians ask for, we do the production ourselves, and we test every finished circuit. We also choose our parts from well-established brands on the market.
Design
The designs for all the circuits we produce are made by Electrical-Electronics Engineer Kenan Budak. During the design process, we hold one-on-one meetings with many musician friends to identify their needs and get their opinions.
When deciding which circuits to design, we take the requests and suggestions of musician friends into account. Hardware and software designs are made using the technology each circuit needs, and several prototypes of the same circuit are built to reach the most ideal conditions.
Production
We carry out all production stages of the circuits ourselves. When production is complete, every circuit is tested and stamped with its production date.
