Silktone is a boutique amplifier and effects builder founded by Charles Henry, with gear handmade in a small Sacramento, California shop. The company's catalog centers on low-to-moderate-wattage tube amps designed around vintage-voiced circuits, including the flagship Silktone Amp, the smaller Micronaut, and the Echonaut, paired with matching cabinets such as the Slanted 112, Axis 212, and Micronaut 110.
On the pedal side, Silktone makes a focused lineup that includes the Fuzz+, the Overdrive+ (also offered in a Dark Gray variant), and the Expander, an always-on harmonic enhancer that blends JFET and germanium stages for overdrive and fuzz textures. The builder also produces handmade instrument cables.
Silktone's reputation in the boutique guitar community is built on point-to-point-style construction, period-correct parts choices, and an emphasis on touch-responsive, dynamic tube tones rather than high-gain modern voicings.
Silktone has 10 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Combo Guitar Amplifiers, Fuzz Effects Pedals, and Overdrive Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Blues. Notable users include R.J. Ronquillo.
