Magnatone Established in 1937 in Los Angeles,CA, today Magnatone builds high-end boutique guitar amps in St. Louis,MO U.S.A. Boutique Hand-Built Guitar Amplifiers.

The company is most famous for inventing and patenting the stereo pitch-shifting vibrato effect in stereo using a non-moving part. Amazing is the one word description for the new improved Magnatone. The revered Vibrato in a modern power section and pre-amp package makes the Magnatone not only a must hear but a must have. Nothing else compares - past or present - the future is here!

Every Magnatone has to earn its way out the door.

We believe there are some things you just can't measure on a test bench. You have to plug in, turn it up, and play. You have to hear it. You have to feel it. You have to know that the amp responds the way a Magnatone should.

That's why every amplifier we build is played and listened to by human ears before it leaves our St. Louis factory. Because the final test isn't just about making sure everything works. It's about making sure everything sounds and feels right.

It's a matter of pride in what we build and respect for the musicians who will play it.

Hand-built in the USA.

The Strains came through St. Louis this week and stopped by Magnatone.

The Detroit rock & roll band spent some time at the shop, played a few amps and looked right at home doing it.

Next up, The Strains head west with shows in Palmdale on October 8 and Long Beach on October 11.

They’ve got the “look and sound” of Magnatone. Thank you for stopping by!

Small amp. Serious attitude.

The Baby M-80 delivers 12 watts of British-inspired tone through a custom WGS ET10 10-inch ceramic speaker, with LO and HI gain modes that take it from articulate cleans to rich, driven crunch. An onboard FX loop gives you room to shape your sound even further.

Wrapped in Purple Python with gold piping, coordinated hardware and Slash’s Skully emblem on the gold-anodized faceplate, it brings a bold look to one of the fiercest amps in the Magnatone lineup.

Available as a 1x10 combo or as a head with matching 1x10 cabinet.

Proudly made in the USA.

Magnatone was proud to be on stage at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival with some incredible company.

Billy F Gibbons and Charlie Sexton were among the artists we spotted with Magnatone amplifiers during a weekend that brought together some of the world's great guitar players in Austin.

More than a celebration of the guitar, Crossroads is a benefit for Crossroads Centre Antigua, the treatment and education center founded by Eric Clapton.

We're proud to play a small part in a weekend of great music supporting an important cause.

He’ll join Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Susan Tedeschi & Derek Trucks, Gary Clark Jr., Samantha Fish, Jimmie Vaughan and an incredible lineup of artists honoring one of the most influential guitar players in blues history.

A huge night for the blues, and we’re proud to see Billy be part of it.

Throughout the day, we spotted Magnatone amplifiers on stage with Willie Nelson & Family, Lukas Nelson, Micah Nelson, Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts, Andy York from John Mellencamp’s band and more.

For more than 40 years, Farm Aid has brought artists, farmers and communities together to support America’s family farmers and strengthen a family farm-centered food system.

We’re proud to play a small part in a day dedicated to great music and an even greater cause.

The music may be over, but Farm Aid’s work continues year-round. Learn more, get involved and support America’s family farmers at FarmAid.org.
