Magnatone Super Fifteen 15W Head
Magnatone · amplifier
The Magnatone Super Fifteen Head is the head-format version of the 15-watt Super Fifteen, driving an external cabinet rather than a built-in speaker. That gives a choice of speaker and cabinet size the 1x12 combo version fixes, which matters more at low wattage where speaker efficiency has a large effect on perceived volume. At 15 watts it breaks up at usable levels, unlike the 45-watt models in the range. It suits blues and roots players who want a low-powered Magnatone with control over the speaker side of the rig.
