Like my Maggie is labelled "Da Vinci". Magnatones are flat-out killer amps, and that one looks amazing, Bigfoot. Great score!redeyeflight wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 11:55 pm I have that same model but labeled PANaramic. Great amps!!

You don’t see old Magnatone in the UK that often, never mind the other different branded stuff.
Any ideas about the badge on the front? The magnatone amps website says it just comes with a “v” on the trim but their pic shows a magnatone badge. Looking closely at my amp and the tolex/covering, it doesn’t appear that there ever was one

Re: Son of Oh shit, its the "I just boughted it" Thread!!!
Only a guess, but it's probably a variation depending on when the amps were built and who built them. I've seen some with the extra "Magnatone" trim at the top of the cabinet and some without. They weren't a huge company, so it's possible they went out with different trims. These were hand-built cabinets and hand-wired circuits so maybe the dude who built yours just forgot to screw it in.Bigfoot2000 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 12:38 pm Any ideas about the badge on the front?

Magnatone always made a lot of OEM amps, too, and that continued once Estey took over the company in 1961, so you'll see an even greater variation of branding and trims across later models.

Thanks very much for the input. I figure that may well be the case with my amp.HorseyBoy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 10:01 pmOnly a guess, but it's probably a variation depending on when the amps were built and who built them.

Ibanez FZ7
My old one is heavily gigged and the switch is getting knackered. Snagged this nearly mint one with box for a sensible price so I’ve got a backup when I want chewy, gated, unpredictable fuzzrite style chaos.

It's like an orange on a toothpick
