Magnatone Starlite 1×8 Combo w/ Reverb – Custom Color Carolina Blue
The Magnatone Starlite 1×8 Combo is a versatile, low-wattage amplifier perfect for capturing classic American tones whether you’re in the studio, at home, or even backstage. This 5-watt, single-ended, Class A amplifier is a sonic delight that belies its compact size, delivering a surprisingly big and bold sound. Its vintage brown and gold cosmetic design, complemented by the custom Carolina Blue finish, adds a touch of timeless elegance.
At the heart of the Starlite’s exceptional tone is a tube-driven circuit featuring a 12AX7 in the preamp, which contributes to its classic American voice, and a single 6V6 power tube that drives its robust output. This combination provides a rich, articulate sound with impressive punch and detail. The unique tone control offers immense versatility, allowing you to seamlessly explore a wide range of sonic landscapes, from the bright, scooped mids characteristic of Black panel amps to the warmer, more organic tones of Tweed-era amplifiers, including a clever mid-cut feature. Additionally, the switchable Negative Feedback offers deeper gain control and allows for two distinct amp voicings, enhancing clean tones and providing a tighter feel.
The Starlite comes equipped with a Magnatone custom 8″ ceramic magnet speaker, proudly made in the USA by WGS, ensuring optimal sound reproduction. An 8-ohm remote speaker jack provides further flexibility for expanding your tonal possibilities. This amplifier is truly a testament to Magnatone’s commitment to quality construction and authentic vintage sound.
