They haven't been cool since the seventies. Or whenever they thought diode distortion in a tube amp was a good idea. Let's make an amp sound like a cheap pedal!

Aren’t we in an amp builders forum ? Those kind of price points in this day and age from a legacy company that literally just sold out … sorry to burst the bubble but no thanks …sub par

I wasn't very clear. slash is endorsing magnatone amps also. By all accounts the magnatones are very good but they're expensive.
I don't really care about slash. I was being somewhat misingenous.

The Magnatone M80 looks and sounds like a super versatile machine. I'd love to now what's under the hood.
Just plug it in, man.

I couldn't find any pics of the m80 but I found this of the stereo twilighter. Looks well built and easy to service at least tge power tubes,jacks and pots are chassis mounted.

Did they record this with a lapel mic or something? I get similar tone when I plug an overdrive pedal into a hi-fi stereo

I liked the other dude playing better out of the other amp. Fortus was just a bit forward and aggressive on the upper range , but I hear and like the 3d thing
