• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Great sounding amp! Have had it for a long time and just "rediscovered" it yesterday. True pitch shifting vibrato is from another planet! :dude:

I must be similar to the early 60's fenders. I call it "sci-fi" sounding. I really like the Twin Twelve. These Magnavox are under respected.
On an unrelated subject to you have some schedule to power up all of your amps?

Great amps! Long time Magnatone fan here.

The 280 and 480 are two of the coolest for sure.

Have you ever had the occasion to try remote speakers and then get them maybe 6 feet apart? Wow...such a huge sound!
