The amp cover is made with the same material as a Rolls-Royce convertible top. - Matt from Magnatone
at least the cover is good - the amp sounds like shrill garbage - I'd rather listen to the old drunk lady at the gas station chew my ear off for 18 hours, than listen to this garbage tone. a 70 dollar pig nose amp has warmer and more organic toanz than this abominable piece of shit! Save your money! Buy a fender. Buy a MIG 50. Get a real amp, at a real price - you will not be disappointed.
Amazing! I just love that old school look!
Is that why your amps are ridiculously overpriced?
Yeah that cover has got to be worth at least 400 Quid alone.....Not.....
@@looneytunes47 Exactly. That`s why those amps are overpriced. There is no justification for the price. Neither in build quality nor in materials used. Glad you got the point.
Companies realized that there's more players who only practice than players that actually perform and now everyone wants to dominate the practice market. What a great time to be alive.
Yes but now they need to realize about reverb tanks and fx loop
@@losangulos it suck so much. Especially the effects loop, I can't believe it will add a much more to the cost of an amp.
That is complete bullshit. What data do you have to support your claim?
@@ecossette4488 effects loops aren’t very effective in small 5 watt amps - too easy to push the power section into overdrive, which renders the fx loop need moot. More for amps that rely on pre-amp distortion
@@ericjenks9596 What on earth are you talking about? If you want to use delay, for example, you need a loop. Nothing to do with overdriving the power section. And a 5-watt amp is still too loud to do that with in most homes.
1 chevron it's mono, 2 chevrons it's stereo, 3 chevrons, and it's a Citroen.
And 9th chevron opens a Stargate to the Destiny.
Or a Master Sargent 🤣
But Citroen has 2
@@theruminator691 oh blimey, it was just a silly joke. go with it fella.
Cardy car car 😶
The first minute and a half of this video is the best ad for this amp they could have done 😂
Wow. It’s been so long since I’ve heard a small amp make me smile, while making my pulse race. It’s bloody awesome!
I have a 1958 Tweed Champ - Though fun to push to breakup and get the "Layla" solo sound, the real magic comes from keeping it lower volume and clean and then putting pedals into it to push it. It seems like the same thing is happening here with the Starlite at 22:08 - putting your pedals into that clean volume level is how you get magical studio recording sounds.
Hi guys, I recently bought a Magnatone Varsity; LOVE it! In my research I was quite confused regarding the Chevrons on the grill, zero, one or two. I found examples to be inconsistent. So I reached out to Magnatone. I thought Pete might like to know this:
For the first several years, one chevron meant mono vibrato and two chevrons meant stereo vibrato.
For the last couple of years, we changed to one chevron if there is one speaker in the amp or extension cab,
and two chevrons for two speakers, regardless of whether they are mono or stereo. Just a cosmetic thing.
Thank you,
Magnatone Tech Support
Thank you so much for leaving the whole "what's in the box?" laughs. I was watching on my tablet, listening on head phones and burst out laughing with you. I just told the people around me I was watching a Will Ferrell movie.
Those cleans are crazy stupid awesome! I LOVE my Magnatone for those types of cleans.
These videos are some of my favorites on TH-cam. Classic
That first 90 secs!!!! Crying.
Great little amp :-)
Someone may have mentioned this already, but the tone knob can never be "off." It doesn't work like a conventional treble/bass knob. Instead, at 12 o'clock it provides a flat frequency response--really nice for a general pedal platform. Turn the knob left, and you start to get the mid-scooped sound of a blackface. Turn the knob right, and you start to get the mid hump of a tweed. I prefer the negative feedback switch on. Not only does it sound great, but it's quieter. Also, though I haven't tested it yet, the amp can run only one speaker at a time, so the remote speaker input actually silences the internal speaker. Just bought this amp a month ago for home practice and love, love, love it!
You have it backwards. Mid scooped is blackface mid hump is tweed.
@@davidsmith6684 Oops! I will edit that to avoid any confusion. Thanks for the catch.
tweeds have the hump, Blackface amps are scooped
Ok this sounds incredible, and it takes the pedals like a champ. Love the mic'd up tones, curious what it sounds like in the room. I need to try one of these asap!!
so glad i watched this, really cheered me up
That first two minutes was golden!
First minute and a half really made my day =D
Sounds lovely through the 2x12!
Love the energy today chaps
Brilliant laughs at the start of this... thanks, it brightened up my day 🙂
It’s got that vintage look , and a great sound !! Too .
It's for these kinds of intros that I love watching you guys. I literally burst out laughing ! That and the guitar skills too, of course !!
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Fortunately they did not cut this part. This is the spontaneity that makes these videos priceless and so enjoyable.
That is a beautiful little amp.
Not much for low end frequencies, but I end up filtering those out in tracks, anyway. The main thing I like besides the sound is that it doesn't take up much room.
Great little studio amp in my opinion 🤘🎸❤🔥🔊
That amp sounds every bit as good as it looks!
That crunch sounds perfect for recording at sensible volumes.
Loving this combo... Hmmm.... Just bought one. ;-)
Sensible volumes at 100 dB...
Oooo she's lovely. Reminds me a bit of the 5W Blackstar amp, but more creamy
Looks like Lee's getting himself one for Christmas! 😀
Fantastic boutique amp - would love to hear a period-correct 50s strat or telecaster through it!
(The Magnatone name alone screams 'Buddy Holly'!!)
The Mr Tumble Seven skit was the best thing since Ampeg arrow to my knee.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Can you sign LMFAO
First-time visit to Andertons yesterday, came away with a Lovely Ibanez prestige and a Boss Nextone Special plus some nice EHX pedals, BIG shout out to Ben, who was more than helpful and I saw Mr Lee Anderton himself, keep up the great videos.
Well Pete enjoyed this amp very much.
Wasn't going to sit and listen to something that made me want to buy something I couldn't afford, but I knew there would be some playing, too...
great vid fellas.....I love a little combo, I use a little Vox AC4 when my Lazy J is a bit loud for a little jam or rehearsal
The beginning reminds me of More Cowbell! Awesome!
You've just sold me the amp with that ad!
I don't know, guys. 100db is not a "practice amplifier" where I come from (the land of neighbors). It sounds killer!
Pedallover amp for sure. I am probably one of the lucky guys that has this territory covered with the 18W Evil Robot 214X combo and it's 30W head brother! Fretted Americana in motion ,-)
Joe Walsh tone on Walk Away keeps coming to mind. NIce!
The whole what’s in the box thing had me in tears
Felt represented with the Thumbnail caption, so here I am to support this video.
Thats certainly a good looking amp
The tele sounded excellent.
Sounds GREAT!
Great Tone!
Most people would be surprised at how many small amps were used on the legendary tracks and albums of the 60s and 70s.
And into the 80s, Billy Gibbons used a Marshall Lead 12 for recording, and Clapton used a couple of small 30wt Session Rockette’s to record August (and bought them from Andertons too!)
Really.......
Slowhand probably pinched em from Andertons.

Just watching those guys giggle is a good time
19:36 - there's a grown man really enjoying himself! 😀
Great video, that would be even better if you turned the amp around and showed close-ups of the setting while playing. We saw the front when you unboxed, but we didn’t get to see the settings in action. My 2 pence.
It's got a volume and a tone.....surely you don't really need pictures of that?
@@bobgamble8204 No, it has more than volume and tone. You must thank the universe every day you’re so superior.
@@jjcalvillo And a feedback switch 😂
“WHAT’S IN THE BOX??”😂🤚🏼But It is super cute!! Very cool vintage vibes.. be nice to run a pair in stereo
You guys are nuts, but I had a blast.
It sounds stellar. I'd love to get a Varsity, though.
Pete rocking the big 80`s eye glasses.
Being a Magnatone it probably excels at Rockabilly. I have an original 57 Champ so wouldn't have a need for it but if I were loaded and wanted something small that would get a look in
There's more than one way to "get loaded." On a serious note, I financed at 0% both a Champ (Clark) and the Magnatone Twilite. The Champ is paid off, thankfully, and the other will be before long. I almost sold the Champ after hearing the Magnatone, but the latter taught me how to setup pedals with the former, so in the end I'm glad I kept both.
@@paulvanheuklom6439 which one wins out in your opinion overall? particularly as a pedal platform and ability to play at low volumes and still get good tones?
@@patrickdewey The Magnatone for me, particularly as a pedal platform ... by far. I can't emphasize enough how the Twilite opened up characteristics I had been missing in my pedals running them through the Champ-style amp (Clark). As I mentioned elsewhere, I almost sold the Champ because of this difference.
However ... what I (finally) realized is that the Champ doesn't really take most pedals well. After watching a Joe Perkins TH-cam video, I discovered that all the tweed-style amp really needed was a good treble booster (R2R Electrics OC44 for me), perhaps a K-style (Rimrock Mythical Overdrive) and/or a drive pedal with a low-cut or high-pass knob (ex., Hudson Broadcast) -- to tighten mid focus and prevent any low-end flub. I thought I was a tweed guy -- and maybe I still am, but only after I learned what pedals to use with it. Suddenly the Champ sprang to life.
The Magnatone's value as an amazing pedal platform makes me regret all the pedals I sold because they didn't inspire me running into the Champ or other tweed-style amps. Plus, the Twilite's tone knob allows me to find a sweet spot somewhere between a slightly scooped or slightly humped frequency response.
I'm not the brightest capacitor in class, but give me a foolish number of pedals, unlimited demo videos, and about 20 years to experiment, I will occasionally stumble on something that clicks. The Magnatone clicked. I will keep both amps, with a greater appreciation for the Champ-style, but if I could have only one ... Magnatone for me.
@@paulvanheuklom6439 thanks for such a thorough reply, this is some really solid perspective! The Magnatone might be the way to go, I wonder if anyone will be able to shed light on the quality of the inside/guts of the Starlite. I’ve got some decisions on my bedroom practice amp. Maybe I’ll just get a Deluxe Reverb and ruin my wife’s ears lol. Low volume quality tones is key for my search. Thanks again!
p-90's always sound stellar thru any Magnatone
At the risk of reiterating another's idea, I would love a small PiP of the product's settings to go along with the sounds we're hearing. Carry on.
Commenting from beyond the grave after that Mr Tumble crossover I didn't know I needed 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks so much, you guys, I always love the videos, bloody brilliant. #magnatoneusa
Alan Carr seems like he loves that Magnatone.
This amp sounds like it has a mountain peak of an EQ with the mids all the way at the top, and the lows and highs all the way down. That Les Paul was too much, and it sounded off. But the single coil… That was pretty! Vox Vibe
Dammit! Once again a Magnatone amp is one of the few that sounds different to me, over TH-cam. Indeed I do believe it sings to me. But so way way beyond my budget, and ability.
I really enjoy listening to Pete play guitar. I was shocked at how big the five watt Bad Cat amplifier sounded with pedals.
Sounds and looks lovely but for $1300 or so you can get a tone king gremlin with a 12” speaker and their attenuator and the ability to swap out the preamp tube to clean it up a bit more
Personally my first thought was "how does it stack against the Supro Delta King" and then the price and characteristics dissipated the doubt for me before the 14 minute mark.
Had a Tone King ... IMHO, the Magnatone kills it. Simpler, yes, but oh so glorious and versatile tone. Price is certainly a big issue. I bought it anyway and am glad I did.
Yeah I own both and this sounds way better. It has a much more consistent volume control. The Tone king has a harsh brittle high end that this doesn't. Also I've run this through a standard and oversized 1x12 and despite that it's 1x8 speaker sounds just as good. It's all about getting the speaker size to cabinet ratio size correct. It's beautiful. If you value tone then get this.
Epic sounding amp. Goes to show when you make things simple how good it can sound. I would like to hear this amp against a fender pro junior.
Tube snob... Katsna 50 bang per buck
Im a lover of the Budda line of amps but this line of magnatone are just tone monsters.
Would love to hear this with either Bigsby-stype pickups or a DeArmond equipped Gretsch, to indulge my Grady Martin fantasy
I have just the axe for that; a semihollow DeArmond with single-coil DynaSonics and a Bigsby. Unfortunately, I have no Magnatone amp.
@@m0j0b0ne I have a ‘55 Duo Jet and a modded tele/les Paul hybrid with Bigsby repro pickups. Also no Magnatone!
I would like to know if the 2x10 stereo play humbuckers with ok clean headroom?? I'm interested mostly in the mighty 2x12 twilighter but it's a bit of a monster. I mostly play at home but i also need a good studio amp.
Such a beautiful little amp.
Love it✌️
Man, if I'm going to spend that much on a small 5W tube amp, I'm getting the Fender 57 Custom Champ. The Magnatone sounds good, but that Fender is a legendary design and has a fantastic speaker. It's also hand-wired and uses period-correct parts.
The fender sounds astronomically better! Anyone born with ears will know this. The magnatone sounds like shit. I am not impressed.
You were born with ears and a brain - clearly!
Period correct lol. The whole world has gone mad.
@@ukmanthailand If you want it to sound like the classic amp that produced the sounds you love, you use the correct parts to achieve that sound, and those are period-correct parts. Not sure why that's a "lol." You can buy any amp you like if you have the money.
@@sundaynightdrunk I understood what you were saying, I just think that the world has gone mad with this incessant desire to recreate the sounds of a specific time in the past. There's no reason to believe that amps from the late 50s were in any way special and just imagine if all of the innovative guitarists over the last 60-70 years had behaved in this way - none of the music we know and love would ever have been produced in the first place. Also, many of the period correct parts probably have little to do with the final sound. It's like people who believe paper and oil caps produce a different tone to polyester caps - total rubbish. The end result is down to the value of the capacitor and nothing more.
Magnatone is the shiznik. I want the 2x12 Stereo Twilighter head. Freaking 4 grand.
This would make a great pedal platform amp for small gigs and band practice.
No, you are thinking of the EHX Dirt Road Special! Now that bad monster, is a pedal eating machine!
@@russianvideovlogguy Yeah, but the EHX is a solid state amp.
Cheers on a brilliant video opening 😂😂😂
Saw Jeff Beck last month using what looked suspiciously like a Magnatone, but with a custom nameplate; reportedly, it was a gift to Jeff from the Reverend Billy F. Gibbons. The specimen under today's consideration puts me more in mind of vintage Valcos and Supros than any sort of Champ.
Still waiting on the head to head Friedman 20 Watt heads VS the Marshall's! Cheers Boys!
The format reminds me of the supro 1605R, but double the price. It's great to see so many 5w options out there.
Gave me a great laugh this morning!
Reminds me of my old Silvertone 1 watt tube amp.
I can’t wait for the Mr Tumble Overdrive Special amp
Hit 102 DB like
Nothing . Jammin’ !
Straight in no pedals no place to hide on that amp. You actually have to be a good guitar player to sound good straight in on that amp.
The design is so awesomely 50s.
Captain, what ever you do you should never let Pete LEAVE your business. We really enjoy your demos.
You need to make a short of the whole what’s in the box/mr tumble thing
Pete, you look so cool with your glasses. Almost intelligent 🤓😜✌
You guys crack you up ;^)
Thanks for the price.
Best unboxing laugh ever hahaha
I think there is one with a 12inch speaker might be wrong 🤔 could be a millman lol .cracking wee amp though reassuringly expensive to
God damn it. I just ordered one.
Is the Tele at 14:00 running through a pedal other than the Flint?
So what ampa are there out here that do the jimmy page thing like in this video? But without the pricetag of this amp?
Glad I bought my blackheart, years ago.
If i win your klon, its going straight into a Fly3 BLACKSTAR!!
I absolutely adore the Magnatone heads with a 212 cabinet. The clean tones are the best I’ve ever heard. However, I am an amp junkie that loves variety. So I am torn whether I should spend $3k on a Magnatone Super 15, or get a Synergy head and 3-4 modules. I hate being on a budget! :)
I have 12 Synergy modules now, I came from owning Fryette amps and I love Synergy. I even started making cases for the modules as well, so its easy to take around to places!
You will end up selling those modules after a couple of years. A true tube amp you can play for a lifetime.
@@oysteinhaugen7055 Well I have had them longer than that, haha, and so has Steve Vai
3k and you are on a budget? lucky man!
I have a Super Fifteen head and cab. I adore it. I cannot possibly overstate how great it sounds. For me, it's the ultimate amp. I can't imagine anyone regretting buying one.
I like it when its pushing 100db in the first couple strums. Its really crunchy in the best way.
Back in the 60's, I used a Magnatone w/ 2-12's and no reverb. just vibrato.....(just another thing that I wished that I still had)
The MT Stereo Twilighter has 2-12s with reverb and proper pitch shifting vibrato (not tremolo like my Fender twin reverb), plus wet-dry options. Best sounding amp on the planet. Doesn't need pedals (maybe just some overdrive). Not cheap but 110% worth it. I use mine to upset the neighbours.
@@jeffvadar6335 Mine was the model 260 without reverb.
Like watching kids.
Great job boys.
Has anyone tried this with a separate cab? These new Magnatone satellite cabs just came out in a 1x12 and a 2x10 configuration.Sounds great with Pete's playing on that Heritage, but I'm intrigued if it really sounds much bigger in the room.
I've tried it through a standard 1x12 and an oversized 1x12, and believe me it sounds good through everything. I feel the videos online don't do it justice. I have a tone king gremlin and this just annihilates it IMHO. It does everything so well and doesn't have the harsh high end of the tone king. The 1x8 speaker sounds huge. Not even remotely boxy. You could use it all day no problem and not feel like you're missing out. I'm actually so impressed by it.
Would love a shot out between the supro, champ, and magnatone
supro amps have terrible qc issues - I have never had a fender fail on me - not once!
@@russianvideovlogguy Yep...I'll second the Supro comment.
Lee; Pete, please do a shootout between the Tone King Gremlin, Magnatone Starlite, ‘57 Champ, Delta King 10, and ‘68 Vibro Champ Reverb!!
