A classic 1960s Magnatone returns!
The Starlite joins Magnatone's line-up as a much-requested low-power amp perfect for backstage, studio, bedroom, or office.
The Starlite revives the 1960s Magnatone Starlite combo in better-than-ever fashion!
It packs five watts of power driven by a single 6V6 power tube, but the sound is big and bold despite what the power rating may imply.
A custom 8-inch ceramic magnet speaker delivers impressive punch and detail.
Plus, switchable negative feedback offers an innovative way to shape the tone and feel of the amp.
Complete with a unique tone control that channels the vibe of Blackface and Tweed-era amps, the Starlite is a sonic delight both at home and in the studio!
Explore iconic guitar tones!
Some of the most memorable guitar tones ever recorded were created with vintage Blackface and Tweed-era American amplifiers.
While the Magnatone Starlite definitely has its own character, its unique tone control allows you to dial in some of the mojo those classic amps provided.
Below 12-o'clock on the tone control, mids are cut for a glassy, expansive voicing.
Turning up the tone control emphasizes the amp's rich and detailed midrange response.
Fine-tune tone and feel with negative feedback.
The Starlite’s switchable negative feedback gives you two distinct amp voicings to play with.
With negative feedback turned off, you'll experience a smoother transition from clean to overdrive, more mids, and livelier interaction with the speaker.
With negative feedback switched on, the amp offers a more hi-fi experience, with greater clean tone range, less noise, and an overall "tighter" playing feel.
It's tone shaping that you simply can't achieve with EQ or other methods!
