Signatures have a 255 character limit that I could abuse, but I am not Cecil B. DeMille.

The ONE amp I wish I had not sold was my Magnatone Troubador. Man it had a sweet tone.
I've got blisters on my fingers!

It would have been nice if Magnatone put a little more thought and planning into their layout and grounds. The engineers were very clever with the pitch shifting vibrato, but got lazy with the build.

After replacing the main power supply can and the cathode bypass cap on the power tubes, it is perfectly quiet. Sounds great. I had to replace the ac cable as well, it was missing insulation in many spots. The client was very happy as his parents bought for him new.
