@1847 so are these guys remaking the classic models too? In the video it just shows the ones Gibbons uses etc.. but are they remaking the old school models like Billy Holiday used etc..
Thanks and great post

The biggest sound I have ever gotten is through my Magnatone Clio with a 15''....Like caramel with thorns in it!

So, the Single V series mimics the tweed deluxe.
THIS, is really interesting :)

The old Magnatones were prized for their pitch changing vibrato/tremolo units in them and they're pretty cool sounding when playing chromatics with them.

Stopped by their booth at NAMM. Cool stuff. No idea whether they would make a good harp amp but I imagine they could be. A music store-owning friend is considering picking up the line.

i think he said it mimics the power tube saturation like the the tweed fender
not a fender design per se

my buddy is an electrician he was there a week before the show. he made friends with the guy at the booth
when we showed up my buddy pulls out a shaker mad cat
hey wait a minute thats my mad cat lol
he plays a bit and hands it to me.
i,m like... "that cable is two foot long"
i,m not playing with that.
the guy at the booth reaches into his jacket and pulls out the jt30 we played thru the small amp
it had a 10'inch jensen, he say's you should hear it with another cab added. ihand him the mic he starts jamming
he was really good
did you see that jacket? custom made by someone in san fransisco all the cool kids are wearing them! peace coop!

Synchronicity Rules Just played and heard my first vintage Manatone.
Here it is between my little Airline and Gibson GA6. I mostly played through my Airline that day but the guitar sounded wonderfull through that tremolo unit. It's like an automatic whammy bar. Nothing like any other tremolo I've ever heard. I would love to check out the new ones.
