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 It's not often you find a tube amplifier with switchable negative feedback like the Magnatone Starlite combo. That's a shame, because it 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 emphasis on mids, and livelier interaction with the speaker. With negative feedback toggled on, the amp offers a more hi-fi experience, with greater clean tone range, less noise, more speaker damping, and an overall "tighter" playing feel. It's tone shaping that you simply can't achieve with EQ or other methods.Magnatone: a slice of rock history Magnatone first began producing electric guitars and amplifiers in the late 1930s. By the '50s and '60s, Magnatone amps had become highly sought-after, largely because of their distinctive pitch-shifting vibrato effect, which was responsible for the "watery" guitar sounds you hear on Buddy Holly and early Bo Diddley recordings. Legendary blues-rock guitarist Lonnie Mack employed Magnatone amplifiers to achieve his signature vibrato-soaked sound. Today, Neil Young is also an admirer and uses a vintage Magnatone in his live rig. In 2013, the company entered into a new phase of its evolution, creating a new and improved line of boutique guitar amplifiers that have been embraced by guitar luminaries such as Jeff Beck and Billy Gibbons, as well as quite a few guitarists at Sweetwater.Magnatone Starlite Tube Combo Amplifier Features: Bold Magnatone sound from a compact combo amp 5 watts of power with a single 6V6 power tube Unique tone circuit allows you to explore a wide range of classic American amp tones Switchable negative feedback offers two distinct amp voicings Custom-made 8-inch speaker with ceramic magnet Extension speaker output for connecting your speaker cab of choice SpecificationDetail Type Tube Number of Channels Single channel Total Power 5W Class A Speaker Size 1 x 8" Magnatone Custom Ceramic Speaker Preamp Tubes 1 x 12AX7 Power Tubes 1 x 6V6 EQ Tone control Inputs 2 x 1/4" Outputs 1 x 1/4" (8 ohm remote speaker) Bias Type Cathode Biased Features Negative Feedback Control Construction Material Brown Tolex Power Source Standard IEC AC cable Height 12" Width 17" Depth 8" Weight 19 lbs.
