1963 Magnatone Panaramic Model 1210 Amp with "True" Vibrato
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ม.ค. 2019
- In this video, we will closely examine a mint 1963 Panaramic Model 1210 amp, made by Magnatone primarily for accordion use, but ideal for guitars. This amp closely resembles the Magnatone model 250 and 213, and has the famous "True" Vibrato effect. The circuit is analyzed, coupling caps and bias are checked, and the Vibrato circuit is explained verbally, then demonstrated both audibly and on the oscilloscope. In addition a brief discussion of the key components for this effect, the varistor, is provided. In the middle, for a break, we will visit the feral cats living inside (Jack & KC) and outside (Ollie, et al) of our house.....including a handsome newcomer with a cartoon character name.

As far as I'm concerned you're the best thing on TH-cam.
You guys are too kind.......but all compliments are very gratefully accepted :)
Thomas Burnett I totally agree with Mr Carlson’s Lab being a close second!
Yeah, greatly appreciated! :D
from Erlend, north Norway. \m/ :D
I've been binging lately and I must say your voice is so soothing. And I mean that in the most polite way possible.. let me tell you why.. you sound just like my Grandfather who passed away 22 years ago and your voice helps me go to sleep.. just like he did when I was little
I loved hearing your clear and poignant explanation of the difference between vibrato and tremolo, the oscilloscope was very helpful in developing my mental picture of the mechanics for these modulations. Great content as always, thank you for sharing with us.
You're welcome, Billy. We really focus on content.....and it's great to hear that viewers (like you) appreciate it.
@@UncleDoug Can you imagine a band like kiss with accordians.

@@UncleDoug b
Equal parts Bob Ross, Dick Proenneke and your high school Voc- Ed teacher. I love this stuff. Thank you, Doug.
Thanks, Steven :)
Thanks Uncle I loaned my 1210 to a friend in 1985. I just got it back as he's leaving Columbus Ohio for warmer weather. replaced the speaker it was missing and 1 12ax7 failed. Hopefully be in business soon. Thanx a bunch for the great video and demo I used this when I was a boy and am looking forward to a reunion
Greetings, Nick. I hope the reunion goes well.
Doug you are the Yoda of amplifiers!
To you, thanks I say :)
@@UncleDoug I see what you did there.
That would be an understatement.
Yes feel the force within you but beware of attacks from the Death cap🛸

Wow Uncle Doug your little frequency tool made the difference between tremolo and vibrato crystal clear. Great job.
Thanks, Jeff. I'm glad it was clear and helpful.
Beautiful amp find treasure. Thank you all your educational videos!!!
You're welcome, F1. Always good to hear from you :)
Magnatone Chassis Support Pat. Pending is totally approved!!!! Uncle Doug Is a True Master!!!
I'm glad you were impressed by the magnificent design and appearance of these beautiful supports, Izzy. Thanks !!!
Hello Doug! Very nice find with this amplifier. I always liked the way the Magnatone amp sounds with a guitar. In fact, I tend to like it a little better than the Fender. Magnatone amps have a sound of their own...Buddy Holly used one for his live stage shows. Your explanation of the vibrato circuit is right on target. I've serviced Mags in the past and I will say that if the Varistors fail, it can be tricky getting exact replacements...although, now they are available. This circuit design goes back to the late 40's/early 50's. in some of the earlier Magnatone models. If you turn up the vibrato speed and intensity together, it actually creates the effect of a Leslie Speaker which is a mechanically-based phase shift and it varies the frequency---the Doppler Effect. There's an interesting trick you can do to make it sound exactly like a Leslie Speaker. add a chorus pedal and add a slight amount of the chorus effect with the vibrato, and you will have the authentic Leslie sound, There are other circuit designs to electronically create vibrato which Hammond Organ company used in their "Solovox" back in the 40's which was a small keyboard attachment that mounted on the outer front rail of a piano as an accessory. This amp is in mint condition and should give you years of good service. Hand pick any replacement tubes if you have to replace the 12AU7. It's also critical to the performance of the vibrato. another great video as always. :)
Thanks so much for your detailed and informative input, Frank. It's always good to hear fro you.
I think Holly was mostly experimenting with Magnatones during his NY apartment era. Guessing he used Bassmans and Twins live.
Tonetwisters speaks true. Also...those varistors almost never fail
Thx uncle Doug! It was so nice that it didn't need the Jack scan? Glad the cone of shame time is up. Thank you for everything you do for the puddies. Mabe next vid the birds could make a peek in with your wife's artwork if she is still painting. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
You're welcome, Ken. She is between paintings at the moment, which gives her a lot more time to come up with chores for me, rather than workshop projects :(
This was so great! Thank you for such a interesting video and explanation, I was so interested in this and this video, in addition to your tremolo instructional videos, really fill out how this all works. You have really done a great job putting all this information together. You are a wonderful instructor Uncle Doug, thank you again! Buddy
You are quite welcome, Buddy. Nice, appreciative comments like yours make it all worthwhile.
I absolutely love the sound of this amp...clean tones are just sweet, and the vibrato adds such a unique sound. Congratulations, I am very envious
Thanks, Jim :)
i'm 0ld enough to remember when there were more electric Accordions around than electric guitars ... 'had an Ampeg Gemini 6 with Accordion , Mic AND Aux inputs - - -
Rockers never even Heard Of Magnatones !
When I was a youngster, my mother insisted that I take music lessons......and chose the accordion as my instrument. What a nightmare. The first "recital" sounded like someone torturing cats. I think my father got tired of my awful home-practice sessions and finally "pulled the plug" on my accordion career. Thank God.
P.S. You may be forgetting that Buddy Holly, Keith Richards, Lonny Mack, Neil Young, Link Wray, etc. etc. all used Magnatone amps during their careers.
@@UncleDoug Speaking of sounding like torturing cats: So did my father's fiddle "playing" during my childhood. What a horrid noise ...
@@UncleDoug , and yet, accordion playing can be pretty cool in the right circumstances. A Texan like yourself might be familiar with Flaco Jimenez, who has played accordion as a member of Ry Cooder's various bands for probably about 40 years! And of course Flaco also plays with the Texas Tornados, a hot little Tex Mex band. And then there is John Kirkpatrick, a British guy who played accordion on records and tours with Richard Thompson in the 1980s and 90s, Kirkpatrick's accordion playing was so versatile that they did not need a keyboard player in the band. Sometimes you'll hear accordion played on stage at a Los Lobos show. And when my wife and I went to the Tab Benoit voice of the wetlands Festival in Louisiana last October, one of the local guys named Johnny Sansone played guitar, Blues Harmonica, and accordion equally well. Also performing at the festival was Chubby Carrier & the Zydeco Swamp Band, you can bet we heard some accordion there!
If you want to see a sweet, slightly sad movie having to do with accordions, there's a German film titled Schultze Gets the Blues about a retired German miner who plays accordion and is kind of bored in his retirement, until one day he hears some zydeco music on the shortwave radio and is mesmerised by it. Ultimately he makes a pilgrimage to Louisiana to track the music down to its source.
Me too!! They were everywhere and there were many great accordian heros preforming regularly with groupies in every VFW for miles around.
Wow, $1274 for an accordion and amp in the early 60's. My parents bought their first house for $4000 in the early 60's
No kidding, Ron. That was a huge investment back then. No wonder the owner took care of it :)
Just the amp is the equivalent of $2000 today. That accordion would have been $7,000! No wonder stuff was made better back then, people were paying a lot more for things!
A good accordion was a VERY expensive instrument. My mother's accordion was almost that much by itself in 1955 and it was hand carried back from Italy by her teacher to avoid the middleman importer and taxes.
@@AlanW you have to think about how much more we are paying for things like a mortage, rent and insurance now a days in comparison.
I recall being able to buy nice, running 1955-57 Chevrolet cars for around $500 back in the 60's, and the thought of paying 2 1/2 times that amount for an accordion and amp certainly never occurred to me, thank heavens......but, who knows, I might have ended up being a star on Lawrence Welk's show :)
Love Doug's spring and marked rod frequency adjustment illustration, brilliantly simple. Respect!
Glad you liked it, Rob :)
stunning condition amp and a video that does it more than justice as usual.
Thanks twice, MS :)
'Crimson and Clover' by Tommy James and the Shondells must have been produced with maximum vibrato. Trippy dude.
My guess is that they used a Leslie speaker for that. They sound different. But I am also prepared to be proven wrong.
According to Wikipedia, it was a Tremolo effect, used both on the instrumental and voice sections......but what do they know ??
@@UncleDoug Wikipedia is right in this case but even a broken clock is right twice a day 👌😉✌
@ Thanks for posting that, years ago I had heard it was an Ampeg. They have a feature called "afterbeat" which is tremelo that goes all the way silent between oscillations so I am pretty sure that is what they used on C & C.
Historic users of Magnatone amps include Buddy Holly, Lonnie Mack, Robert Ward, Link Wray, Neil Young, and Keith Richards. The small Magnatones I have worked on pretty much nailed Keith Richards tone! I have often wondered if the guitar intro to Gimme Shelter was played through a Magnatone, as it has a warbly sound that sounds similar to Magnatone vibrato.
Excellent observations, GU. The larger Magnatone Vibrato amps use four varistors and provide an even more "warbly" effect. I believe that Buddy Holly (for one) used one of the larger models.......perhaps Keith did too.
Good ears fellas. Keith actually used a Leslie speaker to warble his way through some of those very early seventies exile sessions. The four varistor / two speaker models and eight varistor top of the line models create a more pronounced Doppler effect. A great Keith song to hear the warble is "Let it Loose" on Exile on Mainstreet.
Thanks, KM. I'm considering the purchase of a 4-varistor 260 or 280 just to experience the more intense Vibrato effect.
@@UncleDoug , note that the Reverb in magnatone amplifiers that are so equipped is very smooth and Lush, not boingy like Fender Reverb. It's a capacitor driven Reverb circuit, somewhat similar to the Reverb circuit in an Ampeg reverberocket, and the Reverb tank itself is different from the tank used in a Fender amp. And then you've got amplifiers like the 280 and 480 that are true discreet two channel stereo amplifiers and have stereo vibrato. Very different animals sonically, extremely clean and not that prone to being over driven when pushed hard. The 480 has Reverb, and if I remember correctly the 280 does not.
Don’t forget Robert cray and his magnatone m10A
Almost forgot, snow in West Texas, homesickness abounds. I remember a day in 1979 seeing 12 inches of snow at noon, then by 4 PM the only snow left was on the shaded sides of the mountains. Gotta love West Texas weather.
Yep, it's like living with a menopausal woman......you never know what to expect :)
Your ability to simplify complex concepts is fantastic. You are a gifted teacher, I always look forward to your videos. Thanks for the explanation of the Magnatone Vibrato circuit. I have a 440, nothing sounds like it.
Thanks so much, Troy :)
Robert Ward ! Lonnie Mack !
Thanks for the video! Having a crappy day and wham, Uncle Doug and the cats are just what the doctor ordered. Love the coupling cap leakage tip resulting in ever-changing plate current. Are you sure you weren't a physics teacher? Your spring/shaft/electrical tape visual demo was absolutely wonderful! I guess the amp was a little more than $239.59, you know, a little extra for 56 years of storage. I'm glad our Patreon contributions are helping the channel. See y'all next time, and yes, Chris is happy. For those interested in the Moses Vibrato, here's a link dalmura.com.au/static/Magnatone%20vibrato%20design.pdf
You're quite welcome, Craig. I'm really glad to hear that the teaching approach worked :) Yes, indeed, you Patreon patrons and PayPal contributors make it all possible.
The other guy holding the accordion pictured with Mr. Welk was the always smiling Myren Floren accordionist extraordinaire.
My grandparents were huge fans of Lawrence and the gang. My grandmother's eyes would tear up whenever Mr. Floren would appear......she was an ardent groupie :)
Fascinating breakdown of the complex structure and interrelationships within the system. And besides the cats, that amp is also sweet! That is a gorgeous, jangly shimmer. And I adore that Gretsch!
Thanks so much, PC :)
On the scope, vibrato looks more like phase shifting to the left and to the right.
That's exactly what I was seeing as well.
I'm not sure if the unaltered frequency is in the middle of the two phase- shifted waveforms, and appears to shift in both directions.......or coincides with the right-hand wave form and only shifts to the left. I guess more study is needed.
@@UncleDoug hi, the Geeetoligist did a video on a magnatone and discussed phase shift circuit. I think it's a pseudo vibrato using phase shift. Same same but different....
,hello uncle Doug, on a magnatone mp1 schematic there are triangles with letters inside the triangle what does this mean thanks
I looked at the schematic and at first thought it might indicate higher-wattage resistors, or perhaps a certain type of resistor.....but they also use the triangles with capacitors. Perhaps there is a chart somewhere that decodes these symbols, Mark, but I sure don't see it anywhere on the schematic.
Amazing information. I love the ease at which you make this understandable. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Thanks, 49. The pleasure is all ours :)
A great looking and sounding amp! I enjoyed the circuit description and analysis.
Thanks, Andrew.
Wow Uncle Doug, you’re on fire lately, so many videos! Thank you.
You're welcome, Ideal. We're trying to keep you folks entertained :)
Excellent video UD, from explanation of sophisticated concepts to cat mini documentary to guitar amp, this one got it all. Also, beautiful gretsch right there
Thanks several times, K :)
W O W!!! What a find! I have been obsessed with magnatone vibrato ever since first hearing it. I have tried every vibrato pedal I could find and nothing has ever touched the Magnatone. It’s such a treat to finally understand just what it is that makes it so special. Thanks Doug!!!
You're welcome, Joby. Thanks so much !!
Wow! I loved your lesson on how the true vibrato works Doug! You are a very good teacher. I"m a visual learner, and your coils on the rod made it crystal clear. Thanks! Keep those mini-lessons coming, and I may just have to sign into Patreon. Stunning amp, and very sweet Gretsch guitar. :)
You're welcome, Johnnie. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I love this channel! You sir, are great. Sense of humor is right on point. Also, as a bonus, we get an extra wildlife segment in most videos. Lol. Thanks for the great entertainment
You're welcome, Mike. Thanks !!!
What a museum piece of an amplifier. Not one component changed, and not one needed to be changed as yet. Money well spent on this jewel. Extremely interesting amp and explanation of the circuitry. You, your videos, and your pets are part of my household.
Thanks so much, E250. We are all honored.
Wow! That is a BEAUTIFUL amp. I have always thought that Magnatones are GREATLY underappreciated. Your detailed examination of this amp shows the excellent workmanship and engineering that went into making these.
Thanks, Gabriel :)
You never sounded better. Nice amp. Thank you for all the information and thanks again for sharing.
You're welcome, DM. Thanks for your very nice comments.
AWESOME! Loved the spring analogy to demonstrate phase compression and modulation.
Thanks, Thomas :)
What a relief to see you have a right hand, too, and to see both hands in the same show. Another great video, Uncle.
Thanks, D. Yes, the right hand has been clamoring for some screen time lately :)
What a beautiful historical piece. Someday all of the timeless pieces will inevitably be gone. Thanks for keeping the history alive, it’s not easy, but it is rewarding. Nice to see folks appreciating things like this. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much, Jack. It's an honor to have one of these.......while we still can.
Wow what a great sounding amp! The vibrato is awesome sounding, and I agree it is very musical. Oh, and thank you for looking out for all your cat friends, I am sure they appreciate it!
Thanks so much, Wade:) You're welcome......it's our pleasure :)
Wow... I’m liking that Panaramic amp.. what a great find!! It sounds really awesome.. I like it’s chimey tone which could be the with Gretsch helping out some... also enjoyed the feline update along with a superb breakdown on the Vibrato circuit!! Outstanding Uncle Doug!!
Thanks so much, Luth. It is chimey.....somewhat Vox-like in that regard.
Very good démonstration for the vibrato, beautiful Gretsch guitar ! Thank you for the démonstration !
You're welcome, Joel. Thanks for your nice comments.
Excellent! Thanks for this frequent uploads, beer and Doritos time! UD is here! I have never seen one of these!
You're welcome, K. Neither had I until it appeared on Ebay a while back.
Very nice UD!! Thanks for the upload!!
You're welcome, Jack :)
I am a collector of old guitar and also amps I also fix guitars and amps and you helped me find new thing's that can go wrong so thanks for that it a big help keep up the great work
You're welcome, HW. We're glad the videos were helpful.
Very cool amp , thanks . Enjoyed this one a lot Doug 😁
You're welcome, Phil :)
My cats go nuts with the 500 hz tone, but they still loves your work!
They really like it, because it stimulates their purring receptors, Gustavo :)
@@UncleDoug ah, the purr and its healing qualities! Greetings from Brazil!
Uncle Doug... Thanks for a great demo and explanation of your very unique sounding Panaramic 1210. What a very different "True Vibarto" sound!!
You're welcome, Dave. We're glad you enjoyed it :)
Doug you're the best! Wish I had something to send U but ,sorry! However I always learning something new when looking at your great videos. Keep on Doug!
Thanks !!! No problem, Peder. We're just glad you enjoy our channel.
Thanks Doug. Great insight on a circuit I’ve not come across before. The amp sounds lovely. Also love the car updates. My cat “Missy” loved seeing Jack and Ollie on the screen. I hope you’re well too Doug. Also like hearing “Wicked Game”
You're welcome, Dan. Thanks. It's always good to hear from you.
Nicely done! Thanks!
That is one good looking amp.
Well done the previous owner/s and well found sir!
Thanks, PD. Agreed :)
nicely explained and demonstrated vibrato-tremolo GREAT JOB!
Thanks, G.
Great sounding amp!
Thanks, Chris :)
wow I really like the sound of this one, Doug
Thanks, DK.
the condition of that amp is amazing and it sound's nice too, great score,
Thanks, Paul.
Thanks uncle Doug! Sweet amp
Thanks, James :)
What a Gem!!
Thanks for the tour ;)
You're welcome, Lu. Thanks for joining us.
Great presentation as always Doug.. To my old ears, that was the nicest sounding amp to date with and without vibrato and with both guitars .. I appreciate this topic is very subjective.
Thanks, Pete. I agree......it is a wonderful-sounding amp.
Another great video, Doug. Good to see the cats as well. I just got in from 3hrs of snow shoveling here in S.W. Ontario .. you can borrow my shovel if you wish.
Thanks, Bob. I may need your shovel, with all the semi-buried cat poop around the perimeter of my yard :)
Very cool amp! Thanks for making this video. I have a 60s Magnatone Troubadour 213 that was my grandfather’s. He was an accordion player who used to gig regularly with it in the Chicagoland area. Had it restored a few years ago and it sounds beautiful with guitar, like time traveling.
You're welcome, Geoffrey. Glad you enjoyed it :)
@@UncleDoug just thought of a question.... My Magnatone 213 has 2 channels, with 2 inputs for each channel. I haven’t ever tried to “jump” the A & B channels with a patch cable. Would it be ok to give this a try without hurting the amp? Thanks!
Wow! What a truly stunning piece, Doug! I am happy to see that despite its prestine condition, there are the tiniest of ubiquitous white paint spots. That must mean it's the real deal!
@46:18 I'm not kidding you, my heart began to melt and I nearly cried. And no, I dont think is was an apoplectic... Such a wonderful sound! Thank you so much for sharing this lovely bit of kit.
I'm also very glad the cats are staying warm and full!
Thanks so much, Britt. The vibrato effect does have the musical ability to move the listener. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed :) The kitties say "Hi".
What a gem. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, Daniel.
I had to download and watch this later for a variety of reasons but it was worth the effort. Lovely guitar, SUPERB condition and the explanation of how the vibrato worked was great. A a sometimes cello player I was aware of what vibrato actually is but finding out how that mob achieved it was really interesting. It may be a factoid that I'll not use but it is one that I enjoyed absorbing.
Thanks so much for watching our video, Ray. We appreciate your time and consideration.
The phase with auto tune is very interesting. Makes a lot of sense. What a amp great find to bring to the table here. Nice job Doug.
Thanks so much, Carl. I'm sure the real circuit is much more elaborate, but it seemed like a good way to improve a lot of modern "singers".
Glorious. Piece of art.
Thanks, Lost :)
THANKS!!! I'm about to clone the Magnetone M4 and I had very little understanding of the vibrato circuit. Your tutorial fixed that better than any of the other online material I found.
You're welcome, GC. I hope you have a source for suitable varistors.
@@UncleDoug I'm not sure if they are suitable but I have found some currently available varistors that have been recomended online. Fortunately, they aren't very expensive if some experimentation is required.
Great video...as usual.
Informative and interesting.
Well done sir.👍
Thanks, Bill :)
Great video Uncle Doug, amazing amp!! Vibrato vs Tremolo such a difference
Thanks, Big Joe :)
I've been watching your videos for years, learned a huge amount from them and want to thank you for this one especially. I bought a Magnatone (Estey) model 15 amp that has stereo vibrato and a separate reverb output section... 5 speakers in total! The amp was in the opposite condition of this gem you found, non-working but it was cheap and I was certain I could restore it. I rebuilt most of the reverb section and corrected some prior fiddler's mistakes and got it working and sounding very nice, but the preamp voltages have remained about half what they should be on schematic. Each preamp/vibrato tube when put in one at a time drops about 20-30 volts each... I've been very reluctant to touch anything in the vibrato circuit because I didn't understand how it worked at all, and as you point out information is scarce. I suspect somewhere in there is an excess of current drawing the voltages down, so maybe now with some help from your video I can track it down easier. I really appreciate you.
You're welcome, Ryan. I agree that either some component is drawing too much current, or there is some problem with the HV winding in the PT. Best of luck with the completion of your restoration.
Extraordinary sound!
Thanks, Ralph.
What a great amp, very nice, musical distortion! Bonus, I was looking for information on how to adjust the speeds on my Harmony H306C and a short diversion to watch your video on tremolo circuits was just what I needed! The vibrato definitely is a very useable effect!
Thanks for your kind words, Donn. Good luck with your H306.
Wow, that effect is scrumptious. Your tremelo videos and how to contruct one in an amp circuit were brilliant and I am not done viewing them multiple times until it is hard-wired into my memory. Any chance of teaching us how to do the same with a vibrato circuit? If you actually did that here, then I need to watch it a few more times. This is a must know circuit for me. Thank you again for the invaluable work you do. Only my current poverty prohibits me from showing my gratitude in a manner other than words. You are a teacher par excellence.
Thanks, Mod. The problem with cloning the circuit is the inability to obtain proper varistors. Perhaps it is now possible, but not without a lot of research and investigation. Good luck.
Great video Doug. As always a great explanation. The vibrato sounds like a cross between a flange and phase.
Thanks, 6S :)
Man that's clean, wow.
Nice score!
Thanks, Amo. Sometimes you win on Ebay :)
Nice One Doug. That front logo brings to mind your "Danosonic" . "But this one goes to 7".
Thanks, Dan. I'll have my attorneys investigate them for copyright infringement :)
Hi Uncle Doug! Thx again for a very interesting video. I have an Magnatone M6 in a plastic cabinet that looks more like a mid-century tv set than a guitar amp enclosure. But it's a real tone monster.
You're welcome, Rick.
Thanks UD another awesome amp!
You're welcome, James. Thanks should also go to the Patreon patrons who made the purchase possible.
Although this video is 4 years old, I wanted to drop you a line about your "polka" comment.
I spent 5 years in my early teens, I am 79 now, playing accordion and at no time did I ever play a polka. All of my instruction in music was directed towards symphonies and other classical music. We actually had to not only learn music theory but write our own compositions. The 100 or so students formed an accordion orchestra which included 2 Electroniums which had somewhat of an organ tone but more crisp and precise. They were amplified thru a pair of Panaramic Amps. In the last year of my musical tutorials, our orchestra was honored to play in a competition at the New Your City Music Hall. We only finished 3rd, but, wow, what a trip. As a group, we played in many different cities at competitions placing 1st in many.
In conclusion, I wanted to thank you for your videos as they bring back many good memories of my days playing and experimenting with electronic circuits. You are appreciated.
That's great to hear, Mike. Thanks so much for sharing :)
What a find!!! Love that tremolo.
Thanks, RC.....but it's Vibrato ;)
Vibrato almost sounds like the Doppler shift you get from a Leslie. Another fine video, Uncle Doug. I never miss a one!
I agree, JG, the sounds are quite similar, but created in very different ways. Thanks so much !!!
Thoose components are sooo nice and round ! makes you happy
It does indeed, Pi.
Really enjoy your videos Uncle Doug... I bought this same 1210 Panaramic amp from an accordion player that bought it new in 1965 ( he also bought a new accordion at that time ). Fantastic sounding amp. Mine had a Jensen C12R speaker... I put a C12N in the amp and the headroom increased quite a bit... can hold it's own in a live band situation. Love the Panaramic and the vibrato!. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks so much, 69F. We will :)
What a fantastic sound!
Glad you like it, J&J :)
Fantastic sounds
Thanks, Baron. Great screen name :)
What a treat! A beautiful new amp and a new, very handsome Tuxedo. I found it interesting to compare Fender and Magnatone amps. Almost identical components, aside from the Shumacher transformers in Fenders. While Magnatone continued to use Triad transformers very, very similar to the Tweed Fender era.
Thanks, Matt. We appreciate your knowledgeable input.
From Leo: Looks like a great keyboard amp. I have never seen any amp that old that did not have rust discoloration on the input jack hardware. With no corner protectors and the tolex not damaged on the edges, you know that one never lived in a garage or basement. Amazing. I am confident that you will treat it right. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, Barb. I agree......it is in amazingly good condition.
Great video, I love Magnatone. Great Gretch. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it, 49. Thanks !!
You rock Uncle Doug! Great video.
Thanks, Vlad :)
Thanks for the kitty intermission Doug. It's good to see the clowder. (A group of cats is called a clowder) I also truly enjoyed your discussion and visuals on tremolo and vibrato. I really didn't know there was a difference.
You're welcome, XT, from all of us in the clowder :)
Man, that's a gorgeous-sounding amp.
Thanks, Daniel. It's one of my all-time favorites.
Really love the tones yielding from Filtertrons and Magnatone...
I imagine that with reverb (on the alternate model) we may be
candidates for some Dramamine, though...
Thanx for another great, and highly instructive (as per usual)
video. I always enjoy your style of teaching. Meanwhile Zachery,
who is in fact an "Ocicat", (tho' he missed out on the black
pigment, has orange spots instead) gave a shout out to your
quadragang with his characteristic howling 'hello', fueled by
his Siamese dna...
cheers
I agree, Jonny, they produce a really nice tone. You're welcome. Regards to Zach :)
Another great video , keep em coming !
Thanks, David. We will.
Crystal clear! Rob
That's good to hear, Rob :)
Looks like new and sounds great. Very nice explanation of tremolo vs. vibrato! Within the video I experienced the difference between a pro at amp technology repair/ maintenance and hobbyist. You have the perfect amp support for all the different amp types existing. As normal people would use a log of wood they find. Think this is at least part of the difference.
Thanks, Murrat. Yes, indeed, a tech is only as good as his tools will allow, and my custom universal chassis supports (patent pending) definitely elevate my stature to Supreme Exalted Maestro of Technology.
EXCELLENT explanation of vibrato. I looked at a billion circuits and varistor arrangements but unless you’re willing to bribe the factory I don’t think you’ll be able to get what magnatones been using for the reissues. I’m a big Buddy Miller/Taylor Goldsmith time fan and they use it subtly on all the time. Wound up using a Keeley Hooke Reverb which emulates that optional reverb.
Getting close to finishing up my first cabinet’ed amp. Inspired by your instructionals and channel. Thank you again so much! My favorite monthly “bill” is the patreon receipt. Keep rocking 🤘❤️🇺🇸
Thanks so much, Bill, both for your nice comments and your continued support of our channel. You guys make it all possible.
I love that vibrato sound.
Thanks, Spud.
Still the best channel for amplifier electronics!
Thanks, Sid :)
Amp is Glorious!! I had a neighbor who had one of these and was really good on the accordian. When i heard it, though, all i could think about is how one of my strato types would sound thru it.
Wow.......thanks, GM. I agree, it has to be a guitar......or nothing :)
@@UncleDoug The accordian gets picked on but i'm cool with it. The neighbor was hired to play an Italian wedding reception about 10 years ago and borrowed one of my amps (Peavey Studio Pro 112) as a back up in case anything happened to the PanO. Thankfully he didn't need it.
A very cool amp, thank you for the update on the feline clan as well.
You're welcome, M79 :)
Very cool amp, very cool vibrato effect! I’m addicted to your videos, and am constantly learning from them. The Gretsch Tennessean is great, too! Those appear to be the HiLo Tron single coil pickups. I have those in my Tennessee Rose. Low output, but very nice sounding.
Thanks so much, Thomas :)
