The People
At PlethoraTone, we love supporting and connecting creative people. We provide a sonic sanctuary where the music community can create, perform, think, experiment, tinker, tweak, and question, all in the name of musical excellence. Music is our passion. People create music. Creative people love PlethoraTone.
The Space
Every room at PlethoraTone is professionally designed to be an acoustically balanced space. The dimensions are calculated to yield tonal quality and maximize usable area. PlethoraTone is a sonic chameleon — able to cater to your creative needs. Want something to sound warm and close? How about live and vibrant? Do you want maximum isolation between players or everyone together in the same room? You can do it at PlethoraTone.
The Environment
PlethoraTone is private, relaxed, non-stressful, and comfortable. On the studio vibe continuum between high art and “Garage Mahal,” PlethoraTone is perfectly balanced with some mad scientist laboratory thrown in for good measure. When you’re here, you can feel free to work hard and have a lot of fun while doing it.
The Gear
A lot of studios have a staggering gear collection from a “who’s who” of manufacturers. At PlethoraTone, our racks do boast some real stunner pieces. However, we love co-mingling those pieces with anything unique, obscure, and flavorful. In the end, the sound that comes out of the speakers is your statement to the world. We provide an arsenal of specialized tools, vintage and modern, colored and clean, wacky and sensible, to help you craft that statement at PlethoraTone.

Keys:
Oh how we love eclectic electric! Whether the classic beauty of the Hammond M3/Leslie 147 pairing to analog synths from vintage Moogs to Waldorf, PlethoraTone has something unique for you. Come play our original Emulator II (and its library of samples on 5.25” floppy disks) along with the Roland Super Jupiter MKS80 (and accompanying programmer). Not enough for you?
