That sounded great Jonathan, awesome work man 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gorgeous tone and wow what good playing!
You will never regret coaching! I coached for many years and the kids still keep in touch with me. You are making great memories with your son.
Thank you! I totally agree. My dad coached a ton when I was growing up and they're some of my best memories and life lessons.
It’s amazing how a low wattage tube amp can really capture nuances of someone’s playing. A volume knob and type of attack of your right hand can give you so much with a set up like that. Great job.
Agreed! Thank you!
Sounding killer as always!
Some of my fav playing of yours. And that amp!
Thanks man!! It’s a killer amp!!
Awesome jamming bro ! Great amp tone !
Thanks man!
Sounds amazing, Jonathan!
Thanks!
Perfect! Now you just need a glass of Captain Morgan on the rocks.
Killer wicked games tone. I have one and love it. Super loud.
Thanks, Sean!
killer licks man !
Thanks!
How did I miss this?? Lovely playing my dude!
Thank you!!
Awesome amp. Awesome Brand.
Agreed!! Thanks for watching!
Sounds good. I’m a Magnatone fan!
Thanks!!
Awesome brother, Cheers
Thanks man!!
Nice jam
Thanks!
Good to hear about gigs coming back.
Respect on coaching little league for your boy
Your Magnatone always sounds rad, gotta try one day.
Rock on 🤘 Jonathan
Thanks, Andy! Maybe you'll be near Casino one day and we can have a magnatone jam.
@@guitarjonathan that would be rad for sure
If you’re happy, I’m happy. Would love one but I keep getting “the last amp I need” over and over again. Sounds incredible.
Hahaha, totally get that.
I have a few last guitars I’ll ever need!
Wish my 66 Supro Thunderbolt Had the Reverb and Tremolo the Magnatone has but not complaining. Great Amp and Nice Solo
Man I’m loving my Twilighter mono. I ordered it with the optional Celestion Gold. Not a serious player or amp expert but it feels like a serious amp. Not sure if mine’s too bright or not, to me it’s just right, I love it.
Awesome to hear, I love mine too!
Badass dude
Thanks!
Magnatone? More like Magna BONE! .... I'll let myself out.
Keep it up Jonathan! Love watching your stuff here and on the Casino channel.
😂😂😂 Thanks!!!
Cortez jam? I know Neil Young uses ‘em, the jam does the amp justice for sure. Nice tip of the hat! The pitch shifting trem is cool. Very lush but still articulate. Between this amp and the jason isbell tele demo I just watched my wife may kill me!
Definitely! He's another great one. I'm lusting after the Isbell tele too. Lol
Had to pause the Casino video. Glad to see you bro! I coach little league too. It's great but for sure tiring 😂
Lol! Thanks man!
@@guitarjonathan I officially need to hear you cover Lenny now lol
Wonderful! Baxter needs to let you play on the Casino channel!
Lol! Thank you!! Occasionally he does. 😂 Honestly it's mostly an issue of scheduling as we're usually trying to do the chatting videos on days when I'm there. Also, demo'ing a guitar is it's own art form and Baxter is soooo good at it. Thanks for watching!
Love the sound and playing! Now clearly this thing’ll have plenty of headroom and volume for a gig, but is it even possible to run this at apartment practice volume? Here it seems you can basically talk over it (what I’m hoping), but Ive seen some people say it’s lowest setting would still be too much for the neighbors
It actually sounds surprisingly good with the volume barely up. Obviously, like any tube amp, it comes alive when you turn it up a bit, but I think you could play in an apartment. It’s just going to be totally clean at that volume.
I’m so tempted by a Magnatone, but also have my eye on a Rift A. L. Model.
Unfortunately eyes only, can’t hear either in person 🤷🏻♂️.
I have a Twilighter and love it! I've been interested in the Panoramic Stereo as well. Have you had a chance to try it? Thoughts and comparisons to the sound and volume in comparison to the Twilighter?
The Panoramic Stereo is pretty great as well. The vibrato is amazing on the PS, but I like the base tone of the Twilighter slightly better. I went back and forth between the two for a while before I settled on the Twilighter. Volume wise, if I remember right, it was a decent bit quieter than the Twilighter, but to me the Twilighter seems like a really loud amp relative to it’s wattage.
@@guitarjonathan Thanks for quick reply! Good to know, cause I don't think I'm giving up my Twilighter.
@@guitarjonathan Do you think the stereo thing makes a difference between the PD and the Twilighter in terms of sound and room filling or is it just when using the built in effects?
Also, do you think that turning down the volume on the Twilighter for home use is feasible to get decent tones when pushing it with pedals or is it too loud for home use?
Thanks for the video. Love the tone. Two questions. 1. How is the mid range on this compared to a deluxe reverb? 2. How is the volume taper?
Thanks! I think it’s a bit less scooped than a deluxe. The volume taper is great in that it sounds good even with the volume knob barely up. It does start to break up at about 9o’clock but that’s really loud.
@@guitarjonathan Cool. Thanks for the quick response. I have the starlite and love it but would like to get one of their bigger amps. Have you tried the varsity reverb?
Hi Jonathan, I have just bought a Panoramic Stereo but it sound wonderfull but it is kind of too bright/glassy with single coils. I'm considering to swap it to the Twilighter Mono. In this review the Twilighter doesn`t sound bright at all. Does it feels like this in the room? Since you have tried both, did you notice the Panoramic more bright than the Twilighter. Is the stereo thing making some difference between both amps? Thank you!
The twilighter can be really bright with single coils as well. Two things that may be helpful:
1. Some of that harsh high end will mellow as you break the speakers in.
2. I still run the treble way down and the bass up, plus if I’m in a situation where I need to cut through mix more I like having the treble there as an option vs an amp like my Supro where there are situations even with single coils that it’s still too dark.
@@guitarjonathan thanks for your advice! And you re right, I have a tweed deluxe and sometimes it is difficult to cut through the mix. I hope the harsh end will roll down as I break in the speakers! One more question, did you notice at first this the same amount of brightness between both amps? The only reason I was considering the twilight is because it seems to be less bright plus it has a kind of tweed feeling, but I already have a tweed and the panoramic cleans are to die for…
Sounds awesome! What color is the cool looking stratocaster?
Thanks! Metallic teal over black.
hello jonathan , could you tell me about the clean headroom level of this amp , at what volume level does it start to break up ? , i have an fender tm deluxe reverb at the moment , and 22 watts is loud enough for the kind off gigs i do ( mostly blues / classic rock covers ) , i can push the dr tiill about 5 before it starts to really break up wich is more then enough for the pubgigs i do , in the intro you said you think it's louder then an dr , so it should be ok i guess , i always use my amp as a clean platform and will do the rest with my pedals , thanks in advance , greetings from holland , antoon hermans .
I feel like my twilighter starts to breaks up around 4, but it’s not really overdriven until 5 or so, a lot like a deluxe reverb, but to me it seems quite a bit louder than a DRRI would be at the same settings. So you have plenty of headroom in my opinion. It takes pedals really, really well also.
@@guitarjonathan thanks for the comment , i am looking at this amp or the milkman creamer ( with the jupiter ceramic speaker from wich they say it will not break up at any volume level wich for me is ideal because like i already staded , i use my amp as a clean platform ) , they are both around the 20 watt range wich for me is enough ( doing the pubgigs ) and both have a real good sounding reverb and tremelo . Sadly though , both amps cost over the 3000 euro's overhere in holland , so i guess i gonna have to rob a bank first : ) .
@@antoonhermans8953 just played the creamer Great amp!! but I played it with the alnico Jupiter killer amp,,,you would love both!!!!
Hey Jonathan, got any universal advice for finding band members? I’d love to be as busy gigging as you are! I’m new-ish to my area and am having a hard time finding the blues and rock people. I was in a band for 15 years back where I used to live. Thanks man, great vid once again!
Thanks, Ryan! I wish I did, but I struggle with finding folks sometimes too. Here's my thoughts though. I take all kinds of side man gigs... country, rock, whatever, and that helps me get on people's radar and then I find the like minded players who are doing the same thing. Also, I do a lot of acoustic gigs and I think other musicians are attracted to folks they perceive as being busy and having gigs. Other than that, keep an eye out for open mics and jams to kick back up. Probably not the most profound or helpful stuff but I think that's all I've got at the moment. Good luck, I hope you find some great band mates!!
@@guitarjonathan Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate you taking the time. Things are starting to open up here in NY so hopefully that means the scene is soon to follow. I can’t wait to be on a stage again. One can only jam in the bedroom so long 😂
u are awesome just discovered you...you said this sounds pretty good at lower volumes?? btw you have a great original style
Thanks, Chris! And yes, one of the things I really like about this amp is that even with the volume way down it’s a good tone. It’s better if you turn it up some of course, but it doesn’t get totally sterile and lifeless like other tube amps I’ve had with the volume between 1 and 2.
@@guitarjonathan thank you I just realized who you were!!! love Casino! so this amp or the Milkman Creamer?? which should i get i love cleans and dirt...lush verb etc!
Incredible sounding amps! Do you have any experience with the new 5w Magnatone Starlite? I’m really considering one
Thanks! The starlite is pretty great too. It’s a lot like a cross between an old champ and a Supro or Valco. Takes pedals really well for a small amp.
@@guitarjonathan ok, so I’m in the market for a 5w-ish amp and I’m having a super hard time with deciding between a Supro 64 Reverb, the Supro Amulet and the Magnatone Starlite…. I’m up in arms brother, what would you do?
@@The2ndProtectsTheRestI’ve read a few reviews on this exact subject, and according to the guys who wrote said reviews were blown away by the Magnatone. That being said, in the end it’s YOUR EAR that matters. Me personally would choose the Magnatone. Make no mistake these amps ARE NOT hand wired. That statement is misleading.
Nice .. Johnathan can you put together a playlist of all originals music? even your improves that might be original? I would like to get you on the show more often.. Peace Bro.
Thanks man! Absolutely. I'll get that done
Really appreciate all the folks coming over from the show so far!! Gonna push you a little more on Casino as well. Thanks again!
@@guitarjonathan No worries Bro Glad to.. We all dig your Music.. Thanks.
That the Cortez the killer smp
More importantly where did you get the killer Magnatone jacket from another video you may have been in at a certain guitar shop.
I have inside connections. 😂
I heard if I replied to your reply to me. You’d not see it. Anyway the Doc Severinsen bit as I recall. On the Casino channel someone committed (so you may have not read or replied) on the 2 of you being (I think) like the tonight show with Carson & McMan. I had said you needed a band on the side and someone dressed like Doc. Also not sure you’re old enough to remember all those guys. Funny at the time. And someone at casino thought so as well.
So, if I get that amp I’ll sound like you?!
Yes, but I say don't set your standards that low. 😂 Thanks for watching!
Magnatone watts aren't normal tube amp watts. My Super 15 on 1 is as loud as my Orange Rockerverb mkii 50 on 3. Great tones as always dude
Agreed!! Thanks man!
@@guitarjonathan you're welcome dude! I thinking a Twilighter 1x12 would complete my rig but I'd have to part with my vintage jcm800 2203. Tough choices lol
Ill trade you a royal reverb for one 2x10 stereo magnatone ;-)
Damn that intro sounded great! if you are looking for NEW MUSIC, I just posted a playlist of songs/jams that may help you get through the day.
Thanks! I'll check it out!
@@guitarjonathan thanks man, hope you enjoy!
Your beard man.... How do you eat burgers?
Carefully but regularly. 😂
g string is out of tune
