The final night of the Dancing Words Tour is here.

It has been great to see Andy York out on the road with John Mellencamp this summer, with a pair of Magnatone Super Fifty-Nine M-80 heads as part of his stage rig.

Thank you to Andy, John Mellencamp and the entire touring crew for taking Magnatone along for the ride. Congratulations on a great summer run, and we hope everyone in Mountain View enjoys the final show tonight.

Granville is at Sweetwater for Summer Office Hours, spending time with their sales team and walking through some of what’s new from Magnatone this year.

He brought along the Starlite Reverb 10, Kingston, Slash Lil’ Viper and Varsity Reverb Point-to-Point for the team to hear and get some hands-on time with.

There’s also something new just for Sweetwater. The Traditional Collection is now available there in an exclusive Navy Blue colorway.

Always a good day when you get to talk amps (and grab a little candy too).

Founded in Guildford in 1964, Andertons Music Co. began as a small family-run shop that took just nine pence on its first day. More than 60 years later, it remains family-owned and has grown into one of the world’s most respected music retailers.⁣
⁣
Andertons Music Company was an early leader in online music retail, launching its e-commerce store in 2001. The company later brought that same forward-thinking approach to YouTube and social media, giving musicians more than product listings through informative demonstrations, honest conversations, and entertaining gear content.⁣
⁣
Today, Andertons TV reaches players around the world and is approaching one million subscribers. Its reviews, comparisons, and demonstrations have helped countless musicians discover new instruments and amplifiers while building a global community around a shared love of music.⁣
⁣
We are proud to have Andertons Music Co. as a Magnatone dealer and to recognize more than six decades of service to musicians.⁣

Magnatone stopped by The Black Crowes’ St. Louis tour stop yesterday for a behind-the-scenes look at Nico Bereciartua’s touring rig.

Thanks to Nico Bereciartua’s guitar tech and Rich Robinson’s tech for the warm welcome and the opportunity to spend some time backstage. Granville Helm got an up-close look at Nico’s Twilighter Stereo, which continues to deliver night after night on the current tour.

We always appreciate the chance to connect with the people who make these shows happen and to see our amplifiers doing what they were built to do.

If The Black Crowes are coming to your city this summer, don’t miss the show. Visit http://theblackcrowes.com/tour for upcoming tour dates.

Charlie Sexton, from his definitive work with Arc Angels to anchoring Bob Dylan’s live band, guitarist and songwriter Charlie Sexton requires strict touring-grade reliability on the road. To translate every nuance of his attack, Charlie fields the authoritative punch of the Super Fifty-Nine Mk. II and the hand-wired purity of the Varsity Reverb combo.

“You can tell the amps are well made just based on the detail that went into their workmanship. I mean they just sound great the moment you plug in.” — Charlie Sexton

The Twilighter Stereo. Recreating our original varistor-based pitch-shifting vibrato into a true stereo format. Driven by a quartet of 6V6 output tubes pushing an immersive stereo field through two custom-voiced 12-inch speakers, this combo delivers a rich, spatial movement that simply can’t be found anywhere else. Choose between mono, true stereo, wet/dry, and dry/wet operation, or switch to traditional tremolo for an entirely different character.

The Twilighter Stereo. Driven by a quartet of 6V6 power tubes pushing 12+12 watts through dual Jensen ceramic speakers, this combo is the definitive layout for true pitch-shifting vibrato. It responds organically to the subtle weight of your pick attack, providing deep, high-fidelity depth in any environment.
