I saw ZZ Top at the Wilson Center in Wilmington NC with the Magnatone Amps. They sounded excellent.

If Billy says an amp has a good tone, it have a good tone!!!!

Best way to demo an amp well done sounds great in the 2 second clip.

I played the Magnatone Super Fifteen and Stereo Twighlighter yesterday at Gearfest 2019! I played Billy's super light Les Paul, I think it is prototype. I was blown away. Wish I could get both! A/B Y box and those two amps would be perfect for me! Man that Fifteen watt amp was loud!

Had an Esty by Magnatone amp when I started playing in '62 at 8 y/o. Couldnt have been more then 7-10 watts but had tremolo!! Wish I still had it.

Ted Kornblum is the man behind the excellence of Ampeg during the SLM years. He cares about his product line and customer satisfaction.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

[@markporter1901]

Probably the most naturally cool man I know of.

I've owned a few vintage Mtones, a 260, a 280, the smaller Estey's, and more i cannot think of right now. True pitch bending vibrato, separates these amps from every other amp ever made. The 260 is similar to a Vox AC30, with big mids, but with other characteristics. The 280 is stereo pitch bending vibrato. GREAT for studio rather than live, it doesn't have much headroom. Fenders Vibrato is nothing compared to these, and it is actually on - off tremolo, not vibrato.
