Magnatone

Magnatone is a legendary American amplifier brand with a rich history dating back to the 1930s, recently revived and celebrated for its classic, highly coveted clean tones and its signature pitch-shifting vibrato. This true, harmonic-rich, all-valve vibrato circuit is unique to Magnatone and is the defining feature of flagship models like the Magnatone Varsity Reverb and the powerful Super Fifty-Nine head. Magnatone amps excel at pristine, sparkling cleans, often drawing comparisons to early Fender circuits, but their distinctive vibrato and classic American power valves (like 6V6 and EL34) give them a unique, shimmering voice. Used by iconic guitarists like Buddy Holly and modern masters like Jeff Beck, a Magnatone Varsity or Twilighter offers an unparalleled combination of vintage elegance, exceptional build quality, and that truly unique, pitch-modulating vibrato effect that has influenced generations of players.
