Magnatone Baby M-80 Purple Python Amplifier

Classic British Crunch, Dressed in Purple Python!

The Magnatone Baby M-80 Head brings powerful British-inspired tube tones to a compact, 12-watt amplifier, now dressed in the striking Purple Python finish from Magnatone's Slash Collection. Featuring a distinctive black-and-purple snakeskin covering, gold-anodized faceplate, and Slash's signature Skully emblem, this special edition combines the expressive character of the original Baby M-80 with unmistakable rock 'n' roll styling.

Built around a pair of NOS 6AQ5 power tubes and three 12AX7 preamp tubes, the Baby M-80 delivers everything from articulate, edge-of-breakup tones to rich, sustaining overdrive and aggressive British-style crunch. Its compact 12-watt design makes it a versatile choice for home playing, studio recording, and smaller stages, while the Master Volume control allows you to explore its saturated tones at more manageable listening levels.

The Baby M-80 keeps things refreshingly straightforward with highly interactive Gain, Treble, Bass, and Master Volume controls. A Hi/Lo Gain switch provides two distinct gain structures, allowing you to move between dynamic, lower-gain sounds and thicker, more saturated overdrive without the complexity of a multi-channel amplifier.

In Lo Gain mode, the Baby M-80 responds beautifully to your picking dynamics and guitar's volume control, delivering everything from warm, lightly driven rhythms to expressive, crunchy tones. Switch to Hi Gain mode, and the amplifier comes alive with increased saturation, singing sustain, and the kind of aggressive, harmonically rich response associated with classic British rock amplifiers.

A tube-buffered effects loop makes it easy to integrate your favorite delay, reverb, and modulation pedals, while the head configuration allows you to pair the Baby M-80 with the speaker cabinet of your choice.

Part of Magnatone's Slash Collection, the Purple Python edition shares the unmistakable visual identity of Slash's signature amplifiers while retaining the original Baby M-80 circuit. With its illuminated Magnatone logo, distinctive snakeskin covering, and gold appointments, the Baby M-80 Purple Python Head delivers serious tube tone in a compact package that looks every bit as impressive as it sounds.
