Magnatone Super Fifty-Nine MkII 1x12 Combo
Magnatone · amplifier
The Magnatone Super Fifty-Nine MkII is a two-channel 45-watt 1x12 combo, the combo member of the Super Fifty-Nine family and its most powerful single-piece amplifier. Two channels give it switchable voices where much of the Magnatone range is single-channel, and at 45 watts it carries genuine clean headroom for stage use. Magnatone is defined by the pitch-shifting vibrato it patented in the 1950s, which varies pitch rather than volume and is the reason the brand is remembered. It suits blues, roots and rock players who need channel switching and stage-level output in one box.
