Magnatone Twilighter 1x12 Combo
The Magnatone Twilighter 1x12 takes off from where “the classic” american 22 Watt 6V6 amplifier taps out. It’s like the very best classic Fullerton amp, but better - it’s extremely responsive to the players touch and choke full of the elusive Magnatone magic. It’s the most beautiful clean sound imaginable: bright, full, warm and fat, whatever you want. Push it and the natural overdrive sound will have you reaching for the stars. It’s the sound of a thousand classic records, and it responds equally perfect to single coils, P-90’s, Filtertrons and humbuckers with a robustness to the tone that has to be heard to be believed.
Amp construction
Magnatone amplifiers are all hand-wired and all point to point, using the best components available like Magnetic Components Transformers and Switchcraft jacks and switches. The Twilighter preamp section uses four 12AX7 tubes, while the power amp section is rectified by a GZ43 and powered by dual 6V6 tubes providing 22 Watts Push-Pull, Class AB into 8 Ohms.
Tube driven reverb
The classic tube driven long pan spring reverb with 4 counterwound springs will give you everything from a slight hint of reverb to a wash of lush classic reverb without ever getting in the way of the core tone of the amp.
Vibrato / Tremolo
The Twilighter also features the original varistor based pitch shifting vibrato, that is switchable to tremolo
